Your indignation is understandable, but I don't think it's appropriate, because the fact that the forum is working is the result of a huge amount of work done by the Creator.
It is quite likely that such unpleasant situations will happen again, so I recommend that tournament organizers duplicate the regulations, the schedule of games, and other important information somewhere online, so that participants can view the information they need or temporarily submit reports, so that tournament activities are not disrupted.
"Man to man" created his own website specifically for these purposes; if necessary, you can duplicate important information there, or somewhere else.
