This taints the 2011 Professor Cup. I say, someone hire a lawyer and file a class-action civil suit against this person. Then we'll see who laughs the loudest. Someone start a list of possible financial damages caused by this action, to TPCi and the professors. Once it can be proved there was intent to commit fraud, damage claims will follow.

To quote your own words, "I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m a fraud."

Why did you say that if you didn't think you 100%, knowingly committed fraud?

Your article is very damaging. Good luck trying to retract it.

I found out I was a fraud after the fact.

I expected better from everyone, especially the mods. I am truly disgusted with Evil Psyduck's ''sue the idiot'' comment. Pokegym as a community should've handled this situation maturely and sensibly, and yet it's taken you all 17 pages of utter crap to achieve nothing. Hang your heads in shame, and lock this damn thing.

I think its perfectly appropriate.
 
How about this, Pokemon runs a World-Wide professor cup at Worlds? I know it may be out of budget but it allows for everyone to remake the tournament a solid tournament and gives the 2nd place finisher a chance to redeem her skills.

Like I said earlier. Your words are very damaging, and lean strongly towards foreknowledge of wrong-doing. Nevertheless, ignorance of wrong-doing until after-the-fact is seldom a good defense, especially for an adult. Now, if you were still a minor, you might have found some leeway in that defense.
 
All I'm going to say on this matter is, Are you really going to try suing someone for entering a Pokemon tournament he shouldn't have? I'm not saying he did the right thing at all, but if your really going to try suing someone for that, I think you would be wasting your time. Also, I am in no way defending what he did, I agree with people that he should have not done that.
 
why was he even let in? shouldnt they check before

he should at least relinquish the trophy and give it to the runner up who deserves it

I think you're equating this to something like getting into an R-rated movie or buying cigarettes when you're still underage. Sure, the movie ticket-taker or the store clerk might be at-fault, but so is the minor. But then again, this person who confessed being a "fraud" was an adult.

It's only important, to some extent, if the wrongful deed was known before or after the fact. And even then, how willing is this person of trying to unwind the situation to his best ability? Selling the trophy says tons about that unwillingness.

really? that's not what you posted in your article:
Anyways, I went up to registration and wrote my name down. I told the registers that I was new to all of this and held my own league (which I do!). They said they would look into the matter to make sure I was a judge.

you knew quite well you weren't a professor when you told them you were 'new' and a LL...

oh, and what about this:
Should I end this lie and Quit?

He shouldn't have done this, I agree. But, still , Shouldn't the judges have checked him? It is part of there responsibility, even though it shouldn't have to be.
 
Imagine if you were the guy who lost to Ayden in top 4. You spend a ton of time each week helping out the game only to lose to an ineligible player in top 4. You think that you could have beaten a dark deck if you only had the chance to play in the finals. Does he also get a claim to the first place trophy?
 
He may have been an ineligible player, but he still beat everyone in a straight up game of Pokemon, by the same rules everyone else played by. He crashed an elitist party, and beat them at their own game. I understand both sides of the story, but honestly, anyone crying "I deserve to win because he was ineligible" really doesn't understand the spirit of the game either. Call the whole thing off and donate the prize to charity.
