Using the example of that game with the incorrect flight to the ГО. Let's say a player has 25 minutes left on the timer — the judge identified a violation — ordered a turn transition and deducted 10 minutes from the timer. On Jebus Cross, 10 minutes is quite noticeable. And this punishment leaves a chance to win, unlike a technical loss.
In any case, the judge decides, and deducting 20 minutes from the timer for a rules violation when the timer is over 1 hour is not logical. Other types of punishment are seen only as alternatives. Maybe you have ideas for punishments besides technical loss?

Also, violations are of 2 types -
1) a violation directly in the game. And the punishment should have consequences within the scope of that game.
2) a regulation violation — missing deadlines for the game, not playing the required number of games by a certain date. Different punishments can also be applied here.
For example:
1) Deduction.
2) In the next game, the opponent of the violating player chooses the color and template (Using the example of the current HotA tournament).
3) Deduction of money from the start (when playing with the ХВ рулез patch).
4) In the group stage, fewer points can be given if players did not finish on time (For example, 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, if they didn't play on time — 2 for a win, 0.5 for a draw. But for the Berger calculation of other players, the points are taken in full).

Regarding the case between Dark and Gom, the judge there does not consider that Dark violated the rules. More precisely, there is a literalist inaccuracy in the rules, which allows this to be interpreted as a violation, but with a small change (adding 1 more guard next to the dwellings) everything is already completely within the rules. And it was already mentioned here that in such controversial situations, the interpretation will be in favor of the player.
I have no ideas for punishments as an alternative to technical loss. I only expressed my opinion about the ones you proposed. In my view, they are not very suitable...
Well, regarding your options for deadline violations. I also think they are quite strange. A simple technical loss/technical win is quite sufficient. And if a player has already received it, on what basis should his opponent in the next round have an additional advantage?
