Two close friends, Nell and Hamish, are competing against each other in a tournament. They are evenly matched in skill, and it becomes apparent that they will both make it to the final round. However, Hamish is accused of cheating in the semifinals by one of his opponents. Nell has proof that Hamish couldn’t have cheated. However, allowing Hamish to be disqualified would make Nell the winner of the tournament by default.
