“Sorry, he’s changed his mind this morning and will compete in the tournament with appropriate wear.”
He didn’t change his mind. Jeans are allowed with dress jacket.
Yes, he did change his mind. He said yesterday he was not going to compete in the tournament. He talked with his father last night who said think it over before committing one way or another. He was going to buy airplane tickets and leave town but this morning he decided to stay on and play. This will hurt him because I believe he will be dinged a game he didn’t play yesterday. That will make it difficult for him to overcome.
