"only XL-3"

Extending the group stage for a month is fine, but extending it by just one day is out of the question.

Who extended the group stage for a month? So far, this tournament is adhering to the schedule. Yes, compared to the three-week extension in the Battle of Mages and the traditionally flexible deadlines in the favorites, this strictness seems unusual, but this approach should be welcomed.

I believe that the organizers and judges have the right to make organizational decisions (or cancel them) independently, without consulting you. It seems the community is divided?:)

Any decision made by the organizers (or the cancellation of a decision) always affects all participating players in the tournament. Now, for example, in a similar situation in the future, a participant may not submit a report on time and may not provide information to the organizers – why not, if that's allowed?
