OFB-12

I would like to hear the judges' final decision.

The final decision is to leave the previously announced decision unchanged.

Regarding Georg_'s claims that, when manually recalculating (using the method of replacing 0.5 with 1), he ended up in the qualifying zone, the situation is as follows. The most important thing is that Georg_ only ended up in a certain position with a specific calculation of twaryna's score, and there would also be a split with Redwhait. That is, conditionally, out of the 4 options I mentioned (calculation by Kamikaze, calculation by my program, calculation by Dirty's program, manual calculation by replacing 0.5 with 1), 0.25 options were suitable for Georg, 2.5 options for Twaryna, 2.25 options for Redwhait, 3.0 options for Yostairs, and 4.0 options for Surmay. If a justification for the decision is required, this is it.

In the end, we decided to discard the manual calculations and only rely on what the program provides.

Explain how these results differ in principle? I understand that the first one doesn't really affect the Buchholz rating in any special way (standard +3 to the winner, 0 to the loser), and is counted as a regular win. But in the second case, the tech win is -3 +1 to the Buchholz, and the tech loss is just +1.
But in the first case, they could have played for a couple of days, saved the game, and not finished it. Why separate these cases? (I understand that they are counted differently because of Roger.)
For example, a win by judges' decision (due to a game advantage) is, of course, a different case, unlike these two wins due to time limits.

A slightly different case. The tech loss is essentially not based on the game, but on the rules. Is it a regular win for the Buchholz rating?

Well, let's read it again:

In general, the logic is as follows: with a 0-0 score, I always assigned a loss due to absence, and in the case of tech wins/losses, I assigned a loss due to absence if the game had not started. But if the game had started, I assigned a loss by decision, and the program considered this a game result with all the consequences for the Buchholz rating.

I don't think there is a 100% correct recipe for how to account for unfinished games. I decided to do it this way. Formally, if the game has not started, then it is simply a loss due to absence, which means that the program should be allowed to match the opponents again. And in this case, the game is considered unfinished with all the consequences for the Buchholz rating. But if the game has started and has not been completed due to the fault of one of the players, then I think it is wrong to give the program the opportunity to match this pair again. The most difficult case is when the game has started and has not been completed, but there are no grounds to award a win to anyone. In this case, it is necessary to assign a 0-0 score, which means that the program will be able to match the players again (such a situation, for example, occurred in the confrontation between alkaposha vs rebellious).
