I'd like to pose a question to the folks who have been discussing DQ's if the player repeats the behavior. What provision in the IPG allows judges to disqualify someone for repeatedly violating direct instructions and/or repeatedly committing USC-Minor?
IPG 1.3
Some violations of tournament rules will not meet the criteria for any specific infraction. Many minor offenses that a player can commit, even intentionally, are not covered by a specific infraction should be handled initially with a Caution. If repeated, the judge is expected to directly instruct the player not to repeat the offense, and further offenses are treated as Unsporting Conduct — Major for failing to follow the direct instruction of a tournament official.
IPG 4.2 Additional Remedy
The player must correct the behavior immediately, and can expect to be removed from the tournament venue upon further offenses.
IPG Title Page
The DCI wishes to make it clear if a penalty should be upgraded if it is repeated.
IPG 4
The Head Judge is the final arbiter on what constitutes unsporting conduct.
IPG 1
The level of penalty an infraction carries is based on these factors…Repeated offenses by the player within the tournament…The amount of disruption it causes (time and people affected) in discovering, investigating, and resolving the issue.
IPG 1
The Head Judge may not deviate from this guide’s procedures except in significant and exceptional circumstances…

That doesn't actually say “disqualify”, but it strongly implies it.

I don't believe that there is such a thing as upgrading to a match loss, the only match loss is for OA, which specifically makes sense. If we're upgrading from a GL, then it is almost certainly to a DQ.

and the third+ is “failure to follow direct instruction” which is a DQ.
