I do think it is an odd conflict of interest for you to have access to the database while at the same time participating in the tournament. You ought to be part of one, or the other.
As far as "hacking" goes, this was all too simple and should not have been blown out of proportion like it was. It can hardly even be called "hacking," since you were given explicit access to the database.
For a third point, this should be discussed between you, Lucas, and other pertinent members of the ACWC. Bringing it here may attract unwanted participants. Since it's here now, I'll just take this opportunity to warn that any posts from people not directly involved in the ACWC will be subject to deletion and strict application of the forum rules.
