Favorites in battle! - 5 The Battle of Favorites! - 5

But removing a player (you can always come up with a reason) can be a disadvantage for another player who could have used it to tie the score with one of the contenders for the next round... I think this doesn't need further explanation.

Well, sometimes it happens that you have time, and you sign up for a tournament. While registration and the group stage are ongoing, a month or even two can pass. It is very likely that a lot can change in life during this time: something might come up in terms of work, for example (not everyone has a fixed salary), and there are other reasons besides work.

But withdrawing from a tournament due to a lack of motivation, especially when you play the game every day, is a direct disrespect to your opponents. No one thinks that some people sign up for a tournament to play with strong players? And here they say, "No - I don't want to play with you." If this is allowed as the norm, then some will withdraw after the first game, and some even after the draw.
