Agree with Ian Rout's comments in #30. Additionally, while in the Aus Champs there are no consequences for ratings prizes, in the vast majority of open swisses there could be - especially relevant if any form of tiebreak occurs as a withdrawing opponent really does not help one's sum-of-opponents'-scores total at all. Better therefore to say that we're just not going to put up with unauthorised withdrawals even in tournaments where not all of the arguments against them apply. Otherwise you get players saying "but you let X withdraw from event Y, so why can't I withdraw from Z"?
