As per the guidelines from the conditions of contest http://www.ecatsbridge.com/Documents/files...lConditions.pdf page 11 under the heading Ethics and Deportment It will be for the WBF to determine if the action of the Germans is within the conditions of the contest. The fact that a concession before a set starts is accepted, would appear to be within the accepted norms of the WBF heading Ethics and Deportment. When you play in Team the punishment is for the Team regardless to the actions of any individual player or that other players might have no part.
