"Disqualification but can continue playing the tournament".
Well, that's interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of that in the penalty guidelines. Either a person is DQ'd and sent packing or they aren't. Not that I want to get involved with any internal squables or anything, but that sounds fishy.
In any case, it certainly looks like the original post has been answered. It is frowned upon to judge and play at the same time. Those who consulted a player on a ruling probably shouldn't have, and those who are players should refuse to give advice to those who are judges, because it creates the spectre of impropriatry. There are many different aids to the judges today, including the compendium ex, compendium lvx, tournament guidelines and penalty guidelines - all of which I bring to each premier event. I also bring the penalty forms. If I have internet access I also use the Ask the Masters forum here on the gym. If I'm really stuck, I even have access to one of the rules team. I can't think of anything else I'd need to make an informed decision for a ruling, or penalty on an infraction. However, given the case that a player was consulted, hopefully the penalty was correct and fair.
I have given game loss penalties to players who exhibit poor sportsmanship. I never want to go that far, but I've even had to DQ players as well. A judge should be fair, but firm in supporting the fair play for all. If a person admits that they were "in an uncontrollable mood", perhaps they should re-evaluate their reasons for playing, and modify their behaviour to acceptable levels. Of course I wasn't there, and cannot comment on who did what or why, but I am commenting on statements issued here.
