You just don't know who that person is.
So our policy was players only on the floor, period.
That's it.
And so, yeah.
You know, it was unfortunate because I wasn't trying to say, hey, you can't have guests or you can't, you know, be with your friends or your companions or anything.
That wasn't it.
It's just don't do it on that floor.
Do it somewhere else.
I don't care.
And again, I was trying to protect the players by not having people on our floor that we didn't know that could roam in and out of rooms or could, you know, and if you don't remove those people, then you end up with, you know, potentially somebody leaves their room and that person walks in and then you have a big mess on your hands.
That was our policy, not just in that game, but everywhere.
But unfortunately, because that game was, you know, we were there for five days, I just felt like it was a blatant violation of our rule.
I mean, honestly, Shane, there were times when
You know, I wasn't sure if we were going to win another game the entire year, you know, and, you know, we ended up winning a lot of them, you know, but sometimes you just see problems and maybe you want to fix them, but you just don't have the resources to fix them where you've tried a couple different things and it still isn't really the way you want it.
And you can see in the future some real problems coming up with your opponents and some matchups and,
whatever the case might be.
And you're like, I mean, I don't know.
Like, I mean, I'm trying to fix this, but I just don't feel very confident that, that we actually are going to be able to handle it the way we need to.
And, um,
And ultimately, you know, in most cases, it wasn't maybe as bad as what I thought it might be.
