concessions are allowed.
If POP wanted to eliminate the impact of concessions upon other players then they could. For example by altering the tournament structure so that resistance is not a factor in who makes the cut while at the same time removing the rigidly fixed power of two cuts that require resistance to be used to make up the cut in most tournaments.
There is nothing sacrosanct about power of two cuts. No reason why we have to use resistance to fill the top cut with a few of the players on the next record down.
So if it is a sin to concede it is a very small one and not one that POP have thus far seen fit to address by changing the tournament structure.
