technically, yes you have. but this is something that will never stop (taking over for another player or coaching another), because there is no way to regulate it. for EVERY TIME that you help another player make it through a tourny (be it satellite or other), you are basically eliminating SOMEONE ELSE's chances of doing the same thing on their own merits. That satellite you won for your friend eliminated someone else from being able to go.

I don't think you were trying to do anything wrong, it just isn't "fair gaming". He did not "earn" the seat.
