Am I understanding correctly that because the Nuborubi team played a third unnecessary game in the first round, and we were given a "cross" mark, meaning we shouldn't play, that decided the outcome? Gentlemen, if that's the case, why was that "cross" mark even put there? We would have played that game. It seems the organizer is to blame for us not advancing from the group, and I am filing an appeal with the Arbitration Committee.
We played enough games to surpass your team according to the ranking criteria. They could have turned that extra "cross" into something significant (we still have a game in progress, saved at a late stage). And our team completed all its games long before January 8th (the last report was on December 5th) - the final deadline for the tournament. And if the current organizers couldn't manage to process the reports by January 8th, why was the deadline extended for submitting outstanding games? They should have only accepted reports for games that had already been started but not finished. This created an opportunity for manipulation of the results by a team that only submitted three reports on January 18th. Let's continue to indulge them and extend the next stage, and you know what will happen next...
And what about the perennial problem with the supposed New Year and other holidays? You initially set the deadlines in the regulations and know that they fall on holidays, but every time it's the same thing: :smile35:
And what was the specific problem with the host, that he couldn't manage? Processing the reports? He could have asked for help. No one would have refused, those who are aware. Is it really better to create a reason for an unnecessary argument?
And if you are bringing in new players as replacements, you must include them in the roster with a number, and the person inviting them should inform all the captains and get their agreement.
