Adding chips is worse than wrongly awarding the pot! Terrible decision.

That's why I'd like to hear if he has issued an explanation for why he would do this? It seems to me that a TD adding chips to a tourney is out of line and I'm wondering why he would do this?

If Matt Savage is reading this would you chime in with a good reason(s) for introducing extra chips into a tourney? One that can justify the -EV to the rest of the field.

I just wrote a post on the "Fire Jack Effel" thread in defense of Jack, but this one is hard to defend. You should never add chips into play for any reason. You either award the pot to the correct player or stand by the ruling that it was too late or inconclusive but adding chips IS a mistake.
