Thanks Richard. The ref actually said to the table workers to scratch him from the bracket, "he is done". The match was over, so I just assumed he meant the rest of the tournament.
i was right there and clearly heard the ref say, "he is dq'd from the match, not the tournament." there was discussion after, but that was the first thing he said to the table. he had given up two penalty points prior to this also. 1 full nelson, 1 locked hands.
