And you’ll tell me that I am making things up and that what I wrote is “fundamentally incorrect”? I was writing about the reality, and there was no OH there.
Your approach to these realities is fundamentally wrong. You write about it as if it were a normal situation, while you should at least condemn it. And the participation fee should be calculated based on the entire tournament, not just two rounds.
By the way, it's high time to introduce a register of these players who withdraw after 2-3 losses; if they do this systematically, it will be easier not to include them!
I have also been thinking about this, and I even have an idea where to start. Withdrawal in OFB-9, withdrawal in OFB-10 (see the table at the very bottom), withdrawal in OFB-11 (there are two reports out of nine).
