I reiterate my position that intentionally not playing games for the sake of a prize is not worthy. In Russian, it's like being a jerk. Hellen was trying to do exactly that, which is why he was disqualified.

You can continue to believe that you and Hellen are pure, noble players, always open to games and any tournament situation, and consider everyone else to be liars.

Whatever the regulations are, that's how the players behave. I even looked at the first post – it doesn't say anything about not being a jerk, or even what that means. So, disqualification for refusing to play is not provided for in the regulations.

Of course, as always: whoever pays, calls the shots. But then it's easier to just make it a closed registration and include a limited number of people in the tournament. Otherwise, it seems like the player didn't break the rules, but still got disqualified :smile32:
