I agree totaly Dean.
THE organizer should not take part, but judges should be allowed with the following stipulation, A judge is never allowed to rule on a game he's partaking in.
the only time I would see it as okay for a TO to participate if thier's two TO's in charge, and as long as the one not playing in a match does the reporting.. (aka, posting the results of that round) that wouldn't bother me, specially if the TO jumped in to fill out mins or to round it out to a even number of players.
