Excluding the championships, what if Brad wants to play in a SN/PDGA sanctioned tournament? Will the PDGA override the SN Board's decision?

Typically the pdga rules have superseded the sn rules and that might be the case....however if that was the case he would not receive any sn points.

JOhn k

He should be banned...REGARDLESS.
Being a dirtbag cheater should be enough.

Banning Brad Hammock from playing in all SN events will take more than the Southern National Board. It will require the full cooperation of all TDs to respect the Southern National community's wishes and enforce the SN Board's ruling. There are some SN events that are in typical PDGA territory. If the event is dual sanctioned, it will be the job of the tournament director to make sure he doesn't play nor get any undeserved winnings. If Brad presses the issue of playing in a dual sanctioned event, I wouldn't be surprised if the PDGA lets him play.

I'd put money that the pDGA would PUSH to let him.

and the PDGA wants people to buy into that crap? Why would people spend money(PDGA) to play with a known cheat?

Could be a good idea to get with the PDGA and let them know of the SN decision and the players wishes - to see where they stand on the issue. Nice to know before some TD has to deal with it and with Brad.????
