Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

Ah, in this specific case, I support the tournament judges' decision because it involves a violation of fair play principles and respect for the opponent.
However, a question arises for the judges regarding the game with Graalz. According to the rules and your interpretation of them, it seems that passing between Marletto and the gold is allowed, with a 2-1 vote in favor. Why was it prohibited?

And for the future, for templates with mandatory guard breaking, I would suggest changing the wording. If you see two passages nearby (specifically, in close proximity), but there is a guard only on one, and there is no objective reason to believe that this guard has been broken by the opponent, then to pass into the other zone, it is necessary to break the existing guard.
