Penalties during draft
from UDE's Player Management Forums

I'm sure this has come up before, but I want to clarify.

During draft, a player is seen talking on a cell phone. The judge tells him he cannot be talking on the phone while participating in the tournament. The player becomes agitated and attempts to argue. Another player advises him to get off the phone. The player rolls his eyes and says "I'll have to speak to you later," then ends the call.
Later, while still drafting, the player again makes a call on his cell phone, this time while the judge is not looking. The judge catches him at the end of the call. This is all before the second pack is opened during the draft.
Obviously, this player cannot be spoken to during the draft.

How would you guys handle this situation?

What I wanted to do was wait until the draft was over and then give the player either a game loss for his first match or, depending on the severity, a DQ w/o prize. At the behest of my TO, I only gave the player a warning seeing as it was a single elimination booster draft being conducted after a WoW Regional.
