Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online Heroes of Might and Magic III tournaments.

Preds, you're being too harsh. Your situation is somewhat different and not comparable.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the moment when the two-month discussion of the rules was announced; I probably missed that process. Before the start, I didn't even think about challenging anything out of respect for the organizers, although I kept the situation with the "triumvirate" in mind. And like everyone else, I probably thought it wouldn't affect me. Moreover, when Pete announced the possible outcomes in our group, we already had a save at 126, where I had 10 angels standing before the next console – I was more than confident in a positive outcome. It's a pity we didn't finish earlier.
Personally, I'm not challenging the rules; if the opponents are against it, the issue is closed and forgotten.
