Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

That's already a nuance. Let's put it this way: if you want to talk about injustice, then why are you red and I'm blue, and why was red rush cancelled on HL?! My point was that this is not a critical violation to either annul the game or, own one need not mention, give tech losses.

This is precisely not a nuance, but an important point. Studying reviews, searching for treasure zones in look for Dragon Utopia can take a very long time, and time is a very valuable resource, especially if the timer is at zero.

In Heroes there are plenty of factors that "don't decide" things:
- red-rush on an empty town at 211+
- hit-and-run by a noob against a noob
- taking a Dragon Utopia without breaking the guard, when the Dragon Utopia is taken via auto-battle.
- passing by shifted guards to a neighboring respawn without taking anything.
It would seem that all of the above and much more do not have a significant impact on the course of the game, yet punishment follows, even if it's disproportionate to the severity of the violation.

To rephrase: now the AC has decided to annul a game in which someone was crushed, because the person who crushed them did what?! Used 1-2 mana after a long save, probably?!

I can give you many different situations where unfair losses were assigned.

I'll add that I, as a player, would never in my life nitpick over such an episode, but as a judge, I am obliged to record violations.

In my opinion, views should be allowed after postponing, provided that the opponent can also study them without spending their timer.

I agree here. Either both watch, or no one.

And in any case, punishment for a controversial point not specified in the rules is wrong. It turns out they introduced a rule and punished retroactively. As they say, the law has no retroactive effect.

Punishment would be to give a tech loss, as for a rule violation. But here they simply annulled the game. I don't know how it is for others, but for me it's obvious that if the turn has been passed, nothing can be changed or done anymore. No viewing, no changing artifacts, no trading resources, etc. Nothing. It's strange that for some it's not like that.

The rule (prohibition) should be simple and clear - NO actions can be performed during bonus time. That is - spending mana (which covers land/air views), building, rearranging units in the army, splitting single units, etc.

Otherwise, Occam's razor is violated. Example - views were allowed, then someone split 1 unit - so what, it was allowed, then someone split 2, 3..., then someone built something. A separate rule for every case? Where to draw the line between a violation and "almost not a violation" and most importantly, why?

I completely share this opinion. :smile20:

Artem, sorry, but reading this from you is a mega-lol ))) I think even the concept of "pope's postponing" was created by you )))

This is what AC does to people :smile04:
