By the way, it's interesting to know what happened to the three players from my group... These are RiMpel2, marajan, and Kaliostr.

BA/IEHOK (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def RiMpel2 (Red, Inferno, Marusya, Marusya) 2cm4d3 111. RiMpel2: I ran out of rests, and I was born in the rear. My opponent offered a rest, but I didn't take it. Serg™ (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def marajan (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2cm4d3 117 marajan: I confirm, I accidentally clicked the wrong button - my hand trembled... I decided not to continue. Kaliostr - maxlewis Kaliostr: In the last of the additional days, maxlewis is not available, and it is clearly impossible to finish our match. Thank you, Kashy, for organizing the tournament, and good luck to everyone in the tournament!

If I follow your advice, then with this result, the player WILL be able to advance to the playoffs, and this simply cannot be allowed.

You can make exceptions for such cases and not allow players that you don't like. This is not a reason to give a player a zero if the opponent SURRENDERS THE MATCH! He has the right to do so without writing all sorts of false reports to satisfy the inquisitive body. And even more than that, it is impossible to allow people to avoid unfavorable matches, and their opponents receive a zero, which is what they need, because it suits them. Because this can lead to a situation where their group does not advance, and Stinger does.

all sorts of lame excuses like "people in Russia don't read the rules" are just funny.

There is NOTHING about this in the rules. You can check. I didn't find this out on the first page of the tournament thread, but at a completely different time and in a different place, when I read how Kash wrote "I don't penalize for technical issues." And a person who registers for the tournament should read that if the opponent decides to surrender, he will still receive a zero - IMMEDIATELY. On the first page. And not search the forum for it. Added after 3 minutes Is it really difficult to think of a tournament system? You can come up with anything and write it in the tournament rules. For example, if a person has no wins, even if EVERYONE in the group refused to play with him, he doesn't advance. BUT! Those who refused to play, i.e., those who both received a zero with the opponent, also receive penalty bonuses. For example,

if there is very low activity in a group, then it makes sense to... take them from another, more active group.

More precisely, allow more from another group into the playoffs and fewer from this one. You can come up with a lot of things!
