Publicly discussing the organizer's actions after they have made a decision strictly in accordance with the regulations is not appropriate.

Here, it's more of a request to change the decision than a discussion. From a rules perspective, the organizer's actions are perfectly legitimate: the game wasn't played, and no one withdrew – so they were removed from the tournament. But, from a purely human perspective, it's possible to be more accommodating. After all, the guys played 5-6 games in the group stage on HL+U (and this isn't M200, by the way), then played a playoff game on time (which can be confirmed by replays), and they're being kicked out of the tournament – that's, at the very least, a lack of respect for the participants who spent 40+ hours of their personal time (which, by the way, is a full working week :smile04:) on this tournament. Okay, GUNAR and Makiavelli, who probably didn't even start playing, never mind Toga and Reddi, who finished their game the next day. But the game between FTS and Mizrael could have been counted. I'm still asking Tatiana :smile36: to be more lenient and still count this game, which was formally played on time.
