The subject of the dispute... But what exactly is the dispute?
I'm explaining (for the nth time) that the way the pairings were conducted did not correspond to what was written in the rules! If you read the rules and try to follow the sequence of rounds, you won't be able to do it if you assign 0.5 points - THIS NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN IN THE RULES so that it can be tracked. But again, the rules for the Swiss system state that draws (even temporary ones) are undesirable. Assigning an incorrect number of points affects the pairings themselves, as groups are formed with other players, including players with "incorrect scores" due to unfinished games. To put it simply: if you're going to play the way you're judging, add a point about 0.5 points; if you're not adding it, follow what the link in your rules says and don't invent anything yourself.
A postponed game gave them the opportunity to play, and both players, with results corresponding to their real skill level, end up in the next round.
Imagine this situation: 8 players, 5 strong and 3 weak (the number of weak and strong players is not important; it's just that the percentage difference will be there). The first three won, and in the 4th pair, there are 2 strong players. If they play on time, one of them will definitely end up in a group with the strong players and has a good chance of losing (draws are not that common in Heroes), so after 2 rounds, he will have 1 point. If the strong players "agree" (delay) and the organizer assigns them 0.5 points "as a favor," then during the pairings, one of them will have a 50% chance of ending up in the weak group without losing ANYTHING (there will even be a chance for the winner of the postponed pair to play against a weak player, although according to the system, the winner should have played against the strong group) and will play with motivation, while the player who ends up against a strong player will experience a demotivating factor; therefore, the pairings themselves have already affected the motivation of both players (this should be avoided), giving a chance to get a "free" opponent. But if the 4th pair played immediately without any factors, no pairings would have mattered because all the strong players in the 2nd round would meet each other and fight in a difficult battle. The point is that one of the pair of strong players will get a 2nd "free" point, even though this shouldn't be the case according to the system itself, because if he won, he would have been paired with the strong group.

Even if you think he's wrong about something, and if you're smarter, then act like a smarter person, and don't stoop to his level and troll.
People should be encouraged for their efforts, and as they grow, higher demands should be placed on them, but not all at once!
I will definitely keep this in mind for the future, but for now, this is what we have. Yes, by the way, I didn't have enough intelligence to write about the system itself; is it better to troll the person instead? In fact, it is this link that is confusing, because the tournament is not being held according to it; that's all.
P.S. I'm closing the topic of conversation; I hope Gaudin has the strength not to resort to personal attacks. I had the strength not to respond to your jibes.
