The OP must have been paired with him on the ladder or at the very least in the lanes. I didn't see where he went to the DD to tell him that Huntzberry should be out and that he should be given a by. Instead, he starts a thread calling out Huntzberry. That, I don't get.

No, I wasn't paired with him until after the DD reinstated him wrongly. If the race had gone the way it should have, without the DD's interference, I would have had a broke bye. Troy was OUT! The DD disregarded the rule book and interjected his personal feelings into the situation. Because he did Casey and I lost points and I lost third round money. For me, it's not the money, it's the total disregard of the rules and the DD's decision to make it personal. I wasn't aware of the situation until after Huntzberry and I had already run. I was in the staging lanes paired with my first round opponent. All I knew was that Casey had broke and Huntzberry was the winner. When I found out about the situation I went to the tower and spoke with Cody Savage (the DD) and he told me he didn't care about the rule, he wanted to make it right because the girl doing the dial ins had screwed up. That's it. I protested it as soon as I found out what happened, to no avail.
What I would like is for Troy to man up and admit the rules were broken (not by him) and he should not have been in the second round. Troy no doubt knows the rule. He knows the rule was not upheld. I would like him to make a statement as to his side of the situation. He accepted the dial when he staged, he broke out on a competition run. Period. He was out. Apparently everyone there knew it but me at the time. Jim
