Sergey, unfortunately, I don't have time right now to delve into the tournament topic, the logs, and try to prove or justify anything. This was the decision of the organizer, who is responsible for all his actions and carefully considers each decision before making it.
Perhaps, after the tournament (if there is time), I will explain all the controversial points in one post.
For now, I will say briefly: in order for a person to advance to the next round, earn points, gain recognition, and receive general respect, they need in-game victories. No games => no victories => no recognition. That's it.
I don't evaluate who among you is the better diplomat, who is more honest, who is busier in real life, whose computer breaks down less often, etc. - I need victories to determine who is stronger.
P.S. When registering for a tournament, read its rules.
