OFB-8

I presented a picture – the result of a qualifying match in the Euro 2016 football championship was counted towards the final stage of the championship. Funny, though.

Let me remind you about our tournament fb-6, where we chose to combine offline and online formats:

Stage 3. FB, round-robin tournament with 6 best players.
At this stage, the results of matches between these players from the second stage are taken into account.

Wasn't it funny then?
We try to run the FB tournament in different ways, without using standard schemes, so I don’t see any reason prohibiting us from finishing the crucial game.

The decision regarding this game was made collectively: based on the requirements of the tournament (all deadlines for players have already passed; a mutual technical defeat could be calmly assigned), based on the tournament standings of the participants (both were contenders, and the result was important for both), as well as based on the dynamics of the game development according to the save files (we analyzed the situation twice; the first time, a replay was awarded; there wasn't enough time for a second extension, so a conditional draw was assigned, and a replay was scheduled for the next stage of the tournament).

Since the game has not been finished, discussing it on the forum is unacceptable. Therefore, neither the judge nor the players have the right to present here any facts obtained from the save files.

The situation is complex both in the tournament and in the game. The game is the best judge; let it decide.
