I was there with some friends and then we find out Igor Costa and Jimmy Pendarvis are there. No big deal, I like a challenge. So I'm 2-0 and paired with a local Gardy player in a mirror match. In the middle of the game, I make a sequence of plays where I: Super-Rod 3 cards back in, Premonition, then Sycamore. I have Octillery out but did not Abysmal Hand. After secret springing the energy on my active Gardevoir, Igor and Jimmy point out that I tried to draw to 6 with Octillery, which is just not true.
Then they ask how I got a certain card and I have poor memory on trying to backtrack stuff so this didn't help my cause. We both got warnings but I should have never gotten one to begin with. I know what I did and I know that they were not completely watching the game so it'd be easy for them to miss a play.
Maybe this is minor to an outsider, but I was not happy to be disrespected like that when I did not do anything wrong. But the judge can't give me the benefit of the doubt because he can't verify what really happened and I guess having 2 top players argument against mine doesn't help.
I might just stick to playing online. I don't mean this post in any sort of negativity towards Igor or Jimmy but clearly, they misunderstood what I did because I maybe did not announce my move in a proper manner. Regardless, it was a relative not issue because I was going to Sycamore anyways to draw more cards.
