I don't think the point is that there is a new TD so much as an old 
member of the team has allegedly intentionally spread misinformation 
which could lead to hurting the team by having nowhere near the 
level of business they're used to.  Hypothetically if this is 
accurate what should he do?  If there is sabotage then that is a BIG 
problem, one even the most unflappable TD would he hard pressed to 
not be flustered by.

thing that I did with the previous TD before me was brought her in 
and asked her to give me all contact information from afilliate 
organizations so that you may call and explain to those 
organizations that there is a new TD. Also publicize the new TD.

our tournament is cancelled.  Because of his former position as 
tournament director in previous years, this has caused us grievous 
harm.  I was wondering if anyone had experienced any problem of this 
nature in the past and if there were any suggestions to deal with 
it.  I realize that the primary offender, Chris Romero, is a well 
known and respected member of the community.  I hope that you do not 
allow this to cloud your judgment as his actions of sabotage are 
completely reprehensible to anyone who has ever tried to run a 
tournament.  We would appreciate anything you might suggest that 
could help us resolve this situation.  And I again apologize to 
anyone who has been inconvenienced by this matter.
