Jebus Cross - 4

I completely agree; what if my next opponent is one of these two, and I want to know why one was removed, but the other wasn't? Not because I want to get someone in trouble, but because I'm a tournament participant, and I'm genuinely interested in why there's an explanation for 4 out of 5 matches, but not for one? Isn't that strange?!

There's no explanation because it's not required and not necessary in this specific case, in my opinion, and there were no controversial situations in making the decision. No report – no game. If there's no game, then the answer is ONLY one – the player didn't play! The reasons why the player didn't play shouldn't concern you, and I don't see any obligation to inform you, even though you are a participating player. Theoretically, there could be personal reasons that are not related to the tournament itself.

The reason why one player advanced is because there was no game, and this is the only scenario when there's no report, because writing a report after a game is a mandatory condition for participating in the tournament. No further explanation is needed. As the technical result shows, the fault lies with the player who received the loss. What fault they have is also irrelevant because neither the players, the host, nor the judge dispute it, and they don't see a reason to disclose the reasons, but if they do, they will disclose them based on their own views, not because they are obligated to.

The host is not obligated to explain to everyone why the player who received the loss is at fault, especially those who are not involved, because the player involved in the match can challenge this. The host doesn't need to make a decision that would be unfair to either player.

You won't be matched against them anytime soon, but even if you were, it still wouldn't concern you because the decision is based on the specific situation, and you are not a participant in it. The fact that your opponent will be you or someone else doesn't matter.

I write all these explanations not for everyone to gossip, but for those who are directly involved (specifically for the player pairs) and for the judges, so they are aware of the tournament events. All of this could be done in private messages, but on the forum, everyone can read it at once instead of a hundred messages.

darkello, I could have simply answered you, but I didn't because you often chime in without considering whether it's necessary or not, and it's starting to annoy me. You often engage in irrelevant chatter and generally behave inappropriately, interfering where you shouldn't. It's all of this combined. IMHO. Your message, supposedly a request, doesn't look like a request at all. I don't see a question mark, and if it's not a request or a question, then it's probably some kind of statement, which can be interpreted as a "valuable suggestion": "Hey, don't forget to let me know why you're not writing the technical reason."

That's just not very appealing...

The goal of the tournament is to determine the winner, not to find out why someone didn't play in it.
