Just want to send out a clarification on mistake that was made on judging a tourney. The bottom line correct judgment is "No player can be awarded a win for a game or tourney if they were not present at the end of the game." In other words, when the game ends and you're not around, you cannot be awarded a win. We have yet seen a valid exception to this ruling because how can a player win without being around? Taking this ruling guideline to be true, it also extends to tag team tourneys. Tag team tournaments are a team competition and not a individual player competition, so whatever happens to you or to your teammate effects the whole team. If a player throws out a bad tile and another player mjs, the team loses not the just the player who threw it out. If player dc and dq by timer rule, the whole team is dq and not just the individual player. If a player mj wrongs the whole team is dq and not just the individual player. Therefore, when a player mjs on the last hand and wins, the teammate must be present because it's a team win and not an individual win.
Thanks,
