"Newcomer - 2018. Winter"

Porfustang is a Prince (the latest report in the fan community kind of hints at it)? And is the organizer aware that this character ruined the previous newcomer's experience with delays and withdrew from many tournaments? I advise you to study his original profile.

Everyone is aware of the Prince situation, and he doesn't even hide it. The person forgot all his passwords and reported it. Therefore, there is no hidden intent in this. We will merge the two profiles into one, and he will continue to play, preserving his rating, etc. This is a standard procedure for those who suffer from memory lapses.

No, sorry, the decision has already been made. In a format where 4 out of 5-6 players drop out of the group, it's just not interesting... And further on, the slightest mistake leads to elimination without the possibility of continuing from the lower bracket.

The organizer is free to choose the format of the competition, so we'll just have to accept it as is. In essence, the tournament turned out to be abandoned, so we'll make do with what we have.

Regarding the other questions, we will deal with them immediately after the New Year, don't worry. Let's not spoil anyone's holiday!
