a question borne out of the sandcastle debacle

[Yogi-Bear]

I agree it might be polite for pre registrations to announce themselves to the Supervisor. But why should they. They have paid their money it is their seat until the comp starts. They have pre registered for a reason, usually expecting it to sell out or knowing that they may be too late to register but be there for the start.

 Any supervisor worth their money, should be able to sit several reserves and still start their competition on time.

I guess the top & bottom of the Ali Mallu affair is simply that, it has nothing to do with the GC. If you are Banned by the Casino, you cannot enter the Premises, & thats that. One imagines there is a GC "Guideline" that suggests as much - "Banned Members may not enter Licensed Premises bla bla bla".

Casinos are private member clubs, and as such can bar people without giving any reason whatsoever, letters can be written to the GC to complain and they will investigate, but this will not ensure your entry again. Most casinos are sensible about this, but I have heard of people being barred for winning too much.

A late casino boss was infamous for this

There speaks a top Supervisor. We miss you Yogi.

I guess it would be politically incorrect to ask you what you'd have done with Mr Mallu's chips had you still been there......So I'll wait till I see you next & then ask you! A fascinating & very awkward problem.
