Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

Regarding the Alex vs. Vitalik match: the decision was made correctly, and I don't see any other option, even after reviewing all the logs. The organizer made concessions and extended the round after there was no information available within the allotted time. Only after a new round was scheduled did the uproar begin. They didn't even play the 7th round... apparently, they were too eager. Regarding the Alex vs. Vigo match: perhaps Vigo should have been given a technical win, as he requested it himself.
Unfortunately, my opponent's (Alex R) playing time doesn't suit me at all!
If a replacement is not possible, give him a technical win.
However, after an agreement was already reached, this message, in my opinion, loses its relevance. The decision may not have been entirely correct, as the first option is more valuable than the second, and perhaps a technical win should have been awarded based on this post. But it's not right to blackmail someone with late-night deadlines and demand a victory. What will you achieve if the decision is changed? And most importantly, the organizers and the arbitration committee operate entirely on a voluntary basis and don't receive a single penny. Whether it's good or bad, they are at least doing something. So, respect other people's work, or you will be left without tournaments, and that's it. Is that what you want?
