1. Hall of Fame and Blacklist
2. None. However, if someone withdraws from the tournament, I would prefer to replace them with a more active player than someone who is likely to be a "casual guest."
3. g) another option – by agreement, preferably from 4:00 PM Moscow time, but not necessarily every day.
4. a) 1 week (if the opponent responds on ICQ or on the forum and has time).
5. I agree in advance.
6. Technical Win.
Example: I played in the "Jebus Cross" tournament. My opponent in the second round, Aldegyr, withdrew from the tournament and informed me in time. I told Javdet. And then, on January 26 (the deadline for the 2nd round), I read in the thread that I was playing in the 2nd round against Evgeny, and I was given an extension. WHY SHOULD I NOW BE STRESSED OUT BECAUSE THE TOURNAMENT IS BEING DELAYED BECAUSE OF ME??? Besides, Evgeny disappeared for a week (although, if we had both received a technical win in the 2nd round because our opponents withdrew, the tournament would not have been delayed). It wasn't my fault that I didn't play the match on time! On the "Chess Planet" website, in such cases, a "technical win" is awarded, and the next round begins!!!
IMHO – a round-robin system is better, with at least 1 week per match. Play all the matches and then you can take a month off. After all, everyone has their own things to do.
A "Swiss" system (and an "Olympic" system) is good when everyone is disciplined and ready to play weekly.
