I believe it is necessary to introduce an additional clause in the "Respect" rules.
I have encountered situations many times:
1) When it is not possible to agree with an opponent about a game:
- due to a mismatch of mutual free time
- due to one side ignoring the other
- due to personal reasons, which are sometimes implemented under the guise of the above reasons

This is primarily relevant for tournaments, where the draw is unforgiving.

2) Regarding the "season" - it's simpler there, if you don't want to, don't play!
But there are also pitfalls there. Opponents often avoid finishing matches... at various stages. From the first generation of units to the final battle.

P.S. Forbidden fruit is sweet, but if it is not forbidden...
