Confusion Reigns

A player at the table protested that Adams should be blinded off, that all stacks have been dealt to for all of the first two levels. A floor was summoned who ruled that Adams should have a set amount deducted from his stack before his first hand.
Adams was incredulous. He wanted to know why, if late registration was allowed through Level 3, he shouldn't be given a full stack for his first hand of the tournament. (It turns out that late registration was only allowed through the end of Level 2, but somehow Adams showed up midway through Level 3.)
The player that originally protested remarked that Adams had missed two and a half hours of play. Adam responded, "You don't know what you're talking about. I am 100% in the right here," which then devolved into a side debate wholly unrelated to the issue at hand.
In the end, the decision went all the way to TD Rick Landry. He determined that Adams' stack should be blinded off by a total of 1,500 chips, putting an end to the debate.
"You can't have the best of both worlds," said another player at the table. "If your cash was wired to the cage at the start, you should be blinded off. And if not, you shouldn't even be allowed to register at this point."
