Best of HeroesWorld - final of the strongest (autumn 2009)

A question for the tournament organizers: are the deadlines for the rounds mandatory? The first round seems to be ending today, but only one match has been played. I'm not suggesting anyone should be given technical defeats, but we need to establish clear, consistent rules for everyone in advance to avoid further questions.

Yes, that's a good point, thank you. We'll finalize the rule by Monday and add it to the regulations. We already have a draft of a very complex system that could completely confuse both the participants and the organizers)))
The current situation is as follows:
- 1 participant has withdrawn - this gives us 2 additional weeks to complete the matches;
- 7 participants are on schedule or ahead of schedule (some by a significant margin - bRitvo4kA and Dubrovin Pavel);
- vitalic has warned me that he will be away until August 11 - taking into account the 2 additional weeks and the fact that he has a bye in the first round due to the absence of an opponent, we hope he will meet the deadlines;
- but with Vigo, the situation is completely unclear. He seems to have left before the final stage even started, he probably doesn't know about it, he hasn't confirmed his participation, we don't know when he will return, and he hasn't played a single game yet. The first round hasn't ended yet, maybe he'll show up.
