They are wrong and not right!
Whether a person is right or wrong can only be said when the situation is regulated by certain rules or laws. Otherwise, it is just an opinion, which has the right to exist.

In fact, in our game, there are three possible outcomes: def, lose, draw. Nowhere is it specified within what time frame the result can or should be recorded. Therefore, based on the rules, a draw in round 111 is a possible outcome.

As for the ethical aspect of this issue, it is different for everyone. Vitaly (Gomunguls) and I are chess players, and for us, this is NORMAL. It is normal when a leader secures first place with a draw without playing in the last rounds. In chess, having 7 wins out of 7 games in a 9-round tournament, a player easily agrees to a draw in rounds 8 and 9, making 5-10 moves and spending 1 minute on it.

If this is possible in chess, it is only because it is not prohibited.
But is it prohibited in our case?

The organizers' position is now clear.
But why are you comparing Heroes with chess if they are completely different disciplines? :confused:
Some people compare Heroes with football (I don't know why, though) and hold tournaments using football systems. In football, it is very common for the last game, which doesn't decide anything, to be played with a 2nd or 3rd team. Is this sporting? Is it fair to the participants against whom the strongest team played?

And also, football is a commercial event, and the game must take place no matter what, because tickets have been sold, a TV broadcast has been announced, etc. In our case, people don't get paid for the game. And our game is not 90 minutes long, but sometimes 9+ hours of personal time that no one pays for.

IMHO.

P.S. The "problem" can be solved by reducing the value of a draw. Not 1/2 of a win, but 1/3 of a win, as in football.
