Firstly, what bacgioifro did that caused admins to DQ him(and Fast) is that he played on VNS_Fast account and got its rating upped to get an unfair seeding advantage for VNS_Fast. This I agree is a mistake from the part of bacgioifro and fast. From this, apparently Fast got a seeding advantage that made the brackets easier for him. Fast is definitely right to be DQ'ed if the rules are to be followed since he directly got an unfair gain from this deal.
However, Bacgioifro didnot get any unfair advantage in this deal, since his seeding was unaffected. The argument as to why bacgioifro should be punished is if i understand, mainly because his invlovement with this whole thing caused a slight altercation in the seedings? (Fast apparently had the skills and rate to make it into the tourney without bacgioi's help very obviously). The point I say is that Fast would definitely have got in even if bacgioifro didnt boost up his rating, although at a lower seed.
Scenario 1: Lets say Fast's seeding in this tourney was 50, and assume that:
Scenario 2: He would have got a seeding of say 75 if bacgioifro didnt help.
The only difference in both scenarios is that, is that the number 51 seeded player currently would have been 50th, 52nd guy 51st.. so on till 75th position. All that happened due to this apparently big mess is that sedings of several players are changed by 1 rank. Its not like a 2k rated player suddenly had to face a 2k instead of a deserved 1k8 in the first round (roughly referring to Edie/Dziam incident). The theory that a deserving guy didnt make the tournament due to this incident doesnot stand, because its not true.
I request admins to reverse their decision hence, and allow bacgioifro to be let off with a reprimand, and a stern warning or penalty point, and allowed to complete the tournament. Perhaps even a fine of 20% of his earnings or something like what was done with riut/dogao for their BCC3. How honest bacgioifro was about this matter should be taken into account to give him a last chance.
In this whole post I didnt even touch the fact that bacgioifro is a guy with a great chance to make money out of this.
