In any case, it's not a good idea to issue ultimatums to the judges after the tournament has already begun. It makes sense to assert one's rights before the tournament (which is what everyone was doing), but after it starts, everyone participating automatically agrees to the terms of the competition.
This isn't an ultimatum, but simply a notification with the aim of the judges making a decision about the further course of the tournament :) :)
This is the only option I see for myself in order to save my time, of which I have already spent quite enough :(
Ensuring a normal gameplay process is entirely the prerogative of the judges, and I don't interfere with that, just as I don't interfere with the draw, although alternative ways of arranging the remaining participants probably exist ;)
And – most importantly – I have no complaints against anyone, I realize that without experience in running this kind of competition and the necessary rigor for it, it is not only difficult but even impossible to organize the tournament without any hitches)))))
However, I don't want to get caught in a hitch myself, so I made a decision for myself, please respect it :smile01:
