Favorites, into battle! - 11.

Therefore, such issues should not be resolved "on the fly," especially during an already ongoing tournament.

That's why I recommend discussing the risks with the judging panel. The fact that the tournament has started is not yet a problem at this stage, during the first few days: I highly doubt that anyone will refuse to play if we remove the 1-1 draw now until the end of the first round and in general until the first draw occurs.
In chess, for example, if both opponents are absent (without a valid reason - illness or incapacity), they don't score any points.
