Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

Given the numerous instances of unfinished games, the existing rules will be amended to eliminate cases where one of the players intentionally fails to complete a game. Proposed algorithm for handling such situations: 1. In the "Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments" thread, the interested player (Plaintiff) describes the situation. 2. From the moment the Plaintiff describes the subject of the dispute, the other player (Defendant) has 30 (thirty) days to complete the game. 3. The Defendant indicates their readiness to start the game in the aforementioned thread and specifies the time when they can finish it. 4. If the Plaintiff disagrees with the time specified by the Defendant, they propose their own. 5. If an agreement on the time to complete the game cannot be reached, the Appeals Committee (AC) sets a time (weekend) for both parties and monitors compliance with the agreement. Depending on which party fulfills (or fails to fulfill) the agreement, the AC awards the victory to one of the parties. 6. If the Defendant does not respond with a time to complete the game within 15 (fifteen) days after the Plaintiff's statement in the specified thread regarding the subject of the dispute, the AC awards the victory to the Plaintiff. 7. Players are prohibited from opening save files until either: a) the AC has made a decision on the disputed game; b) the game has been completed amicably. Players are requested to express their comments and suggestions on this topic.
