And yes, I mean Roy St. Clair. He was banned for "Unsporting Conduct: Cheating" for 3 years. Anyone know exactly what he did? I heard he switched up his deck during a Yugioh event.

Dammit.

I made the obvious assumption, and did an internal happy dance.

Now, that small joy has turned into bitter disappointment.

Thanks, Tombster, for crushing my soul. ;)

Took them long enough

Oh come on.

Titans werent giving us too many problems anymore, now were they?

Lol.

That's all I can say.

Roy and his brother Bryan are banned. Bryan for bribery the other for cheating.

Wouldnt it be cool if UDE had a big tournament for all the people on their banned list... and first place gets removed from the banned list?

Oh the madness.

was roy banned for a yugi or vs related event?? as he has been top 8 in a few high level yugi events in the past month.

What? Anything goes, you say? Works for me. lol ^_^

It:d be funny watching them cheat against eachother, and all. But they wouldnt dare call a judge on it. That would mess up the cheaters chi.

about dam time too. i played him at pc atlanta it was sooo funny how much bs he tried to pull in 1 game i swear.

like??

I was at the event he was DQ'ed at for cheating and here's pretty much the short story of it all. Since I was working the event I knew information others didn't know and you'll probably get a more accurate description from me.

I was there for the weekend in Baltimore at the Shonen Jump Championship to judge. Day 1 went off pretty well as I was the Deck Check team leader and had actually deck checked Roy at the start of round 2 (completely random, I swear). He passed the deck check but I didn't personally check the deck, I wished I had later on in the tournament however as Roy started to progress well and eventually top 8'ed the SJC.

The cheating that is mentioned actually occured on Day 2 of the SJC event however. Roy had played his quarterfinal match in the top 8 and lost out so he decided to join the regional before it started. Now, I will admit, I wasn't on staff for the regional on day 2 but was working the PCQ's that day but this is pretty much everything that went down. Roy had turned in a decklist during the pre-tournament player meeting that was a print out of his deck from the Metagame coverage. Sometime during the third round while I was up at the judge station getting materials for the PCQs I saw one of the YGO judges walk up with a decklist in hand. She asked to speak with Chris Abernathy who was HJing the event that day and they discussed something away from me. I never heard the full conversation but I did hear the name "Roy" mentioned within it. Apparently Roy had turned in a decklist during the round saying that he hadn't turned it in at the start of the tournament. So the decklist I assumed was filed with the rest and I'm not sure if any penalities were assessed.

During round 4 while they were deck checking Roy's table was being deck checked. I don't know if this was random or if Chris chose it based on the previous round. During the deck check I was up near the judge station again for the PCQ and I saw one of the judges looking at two decklists and a deck in front of him. I saw that it was two decklists with Roy's name on them and apparently his deck in front of him. Roy's deck only matched one of the lists and therefore something was fishy. It came out that the second list had been turned in during the 3rd round and in fact that was the decklist that actually matched the deck.

Chris did the right thing in the investigation and looked up all of Roy's previous round opponents and interviewed them all separately. The stories of the previous 2 round opponents went with the deck that Roy had turned in (which was very noticably different from what he ran in the SJC since it was almost all spell cards and a very interesting deck altogether). Roy's first round opponent however said he played Roy's deck that he played during the SJC. After looking over this Roy was DQ'ed from the event for switching decks in the middle of the tournament. Of course this became the talk of the PCQ as people automatically assumed that meant Roy would be suspended (as it turns out it has).

Roy continued to deny the alegations the rest of the day but didn't seem to put as much resistance as maybe I would have if it had been false. So IMO Roy was guilty of what he did. In any case, that's the story for you folks, you digest however you want.

I do agree, it about time.

but on a side note, what did the two UK guys do exactly? hostile takeover of an event?

ok here we go. i hand him my deck to shuffle, he shuffles it a few times and flips like 10 cards face up on the table. i get a judge he says its was a accident, nothing judge can do we start. turn 3 or 4 i really dont remember out of no where he asks how many cards are in my hand, i tell him and he counts the cards in my pile and in play. he comes to the conclusion that ive drawn an extra card. he calls a judge, immeaditly the judge ( without counting my cards ) counts all of roy's cards and gives him a warning for unsporting conduct ( after counting my cards, i of course hadent drawn any extra i milled myself with air strike )
so we keep going, i had evens and his turn 5 sucked, we go to 6 and im obviously going to win. he has like 3 4 6 to my 4 5 6. i attack twice he's at like 5 he has ready grodd and kelex i have a ready 6 drop, he then tries to convince me to attack his 6 drop over kelex. im not retarded and i attack kelex, its legal and he tries to play balance of power. i havent used any plot twists.... so he turns that down and uses what all money wining players draft... poisoned ( his turn 3 was t.o. morrow so i cant say anything...) he loses walks over to the garbage and card for card de sleeves his deck and throws the cards away, it was game 3 in that pod.also, the entire game up until turn 6, he acted like he could barley speak english and that he had no idea what any of the cards did. so ya, thats my 1 experience with roy st clair. cant say i'll miss him.
