So what if you find it unprofessional? The rule doesn't give a punishent for being unprofessional. It allows for a punishment for possession of alcohol. How can you admit that she wasn't in possession of alcohol and then go on to back a punishment outside of the rules based on your opinion on what is professional?
You are wrong about the rule not allowing a DQ for being unprofessional. Not only wrong, this is just a down right silly and illogical argument.
As it says in Section A of 3.03:
"Any conduct deemed to be unprofessional is subject to a tournament warning or immediate disqualification by the Tournament Director, and may also be subject to further disciplinary actions from the PDGA"
Here's the rule:

I didn't admit she wasn't in possession of alcohol. I even asked why would someone pick up a beer can and put in a koozie? I'm not sure why you aren't reading what is being said other than trolling or some level of anti PDGA hate that is far too common.
We have seen tons of evidence that says the can could be empty, but we've seen no evidence, at least publicly, that ever says it was picked up as trash. Even in Val's statement she didn't say it, she only said it was empty. She never once publicly said anything about it not being drank, she just alluded to being empty.
I haven't seen evidence, publicly, that shows that it was or wasn't empty outside of statements. I simply argued before that it didn't matter. Originally I said it did and I changed my opinion after thought, logic and research. I'm admitting to that. But at least, unlike you, I'm actually thinking about this.
