Re: Mucked the best hand, WWYD?

Ultimately I believe it was my rules that caused the problem here more than anything else. I tied my own hands by trying to create a plan for every possible scenario.

You are correct. Those rules suck. Throw them in the garbage and use the same generic pre-defined rules that almost everybody else uses. Then give yourself some insurance against whiners by defining yourself as the tournament director and inserting a "tournament director is GOD" clause to the generic rules.
The best rules are vague and flexible. The rule you cited begins and ends with the phrase "no matter what." This phrase should not appear any place in your official rules.
