TOURNEY "Sea Battle" - rules and discussion

Well... you're exaggerating about the complaints. And I'll explain why. The very format of the tournament IMPLIED that you play with any player at any time. That is, during the tournament, complaints were meaningless. Now the tournament is over. And it's logical for the judges to ask the players about the state of their games. Accordingly, measures should be taken against those who do not report (i.e., in essence, to punish the players who abandoned the tournament without saying a word in the tournament thread). But for some reason, this doesn't happen. In general, I don't care whether I get -0.5 or not. I have no desire to fight for some mythical half-point. I just find this system of awarding points at the end of the tournament amusing. And I'm not belittling the great work of the judges – it's still a lot of work. But the fact remains: THIS tournament has greatly encouraged players who abandon games. P.S. Elemental of God, have you even written a single complaint yourself? If you are so eager to defend them. Even though your complaints during the tournament were like calling into the void.
