One for all and all for one - 3

This issue was raised in a timely manner by a cynical romantic; he has long been urging everyone to play all the games, rather than skip the third match. Those who wanted to play did, and the cross didn't stop them.

I am not obligated to read the entire thread when the organizer has put a cross next to my name in the table – this should mean something; it's his mistake, not my problem.
p.s. I see several ways to resolve the situation: either remove the selection criterion that was violated and continue according to the remaining criteria, or schedule qualifying matches as best-of-one, in my opinion.
