My post was in reply to what Fleur had said, which I neglected to quote. When she threw some rounds before she had stated that the reason was she didn't want the chip they were offering that week. And that is why it didn't make sense to me to go thru to the final because you know when you sign up what the prize will be. So, if it is for the bets, which was denied in a post, then that is really wrong. If it is to not get a crown put on you for a prize they don't need or want, then that is morally wrong cuz they don't have to push others out of the comp to throw the tourney. Either way - something stinks here.
