And for our officials: Before eliminated somebody, do look it up, to make sure, what you think, really is in the rules. And if you didn't and it isn't, then please don't try to dig yourself out of your hole by using the cop-out "spirit of the rules", as what one thinks the spirit is, might not be the spirit to the next. Rather then show character and have the guts to reverse your decision as the above one did correctly then.
