"only XL-3"

Was I the only one who didn't know? I believe the site community has the right to know the reasons why someone's violations are being overlooked.

I am always ready to explain my decisions, but not when they are asked in such a manner.

Interesting, what did you study?

The answer matches the question.

No mandatory dates were set for playing/finishing the game.

The problem is that no one even asked for them. People simply waited for the deadlines to pass, and then they started to take action, even a warning post didn't prompt them to move and inform the organizer/judge about the situation.
