Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

2Dark30, what do you suggest in this situation? Should we give the opponent a technical loss? On what grounds? If you had evidence that he played one way initially and then completely differently after disconnecting, that would be a different matter. But as it is, there is no evidence of a violation other than the disconnection. What should the Arbitration Committee consider? Therefore, continue playing.

He wrote to me half an hour later that his internet connection had lagged.
Today, during an Odd turn, the opponent demands that he be allowed to complete his turn.
I agree to his save before the battle, but the opponent claims that he didn't have the "save before each battle" checkbox enabled, and he, of course, doesn't save before the final battles.

This is, of course, not good, but the rules require him to enable this checkbox, so he cannot be penalized for it.

I suggest making it mandatory to enable the save before battle checkbox, because some people sometimes have inexplicable crashes, and excuses that this option is not enabled look more like dubious justifications.

I think it's long overdue.

P.S. We used to play without mods and password-protected saves, and it was fine. And now, it's just disconnections and appeals to the judge. :smile32:
