After an impressive 42 comments on my clock episode at the BCC, I thought I should follow up with news.
My opponent in that game decided not to withdraw from the tournament after all. Instead he chose to return the following Thursday to protest some more. Inexplicably, he was trying to insist that the night's pairings were all wrong because it lists our game as a win for me (Jason), and now his tournament is all messed up. (Note: It turns out that he was paired with a 2200 player who had an upset loss last week. No wonder he was so adamant about the "bad" pairings!)
I also understand the BCC has to form some kind of protest committee to hear the merits of the situation and make a ruling.
