Posts from Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

I've said this before, and I'm saying it again, and I'll probably have to repeat it many times.
The current rule should not just be "possible," but necessary to be interpreted this way: for all questions and misunderstandings, players in this tournament should contact me, and not wherever they feel like. I am against them contacting the Arbitration Committee (AK) without my knowledge. I consider myself to be sufficiently reasonable and competent to resolve minor disputes, suspicions, and answer questions about the game. If I have any doubts, of course, I will contact you. It's not normal that I am "willing to resolve controversial situations" myself. It's normal that I resolve them.

A little off-topic.
I'm aware of the issue with V. When did he contact you? Two weeks ago? Three? Did you even look at the saves from that time? The guy is upset, says he'll leave the forum, nobody cares. I understand that you're busy, you have work, it's hard to get organized, etc., I'm not saying anything. But I don't have time to wait 3 weeks - the tournament started yesterday, and there are people who have already played 2 rounds.

In general, in this tournament, I am the organizer, the judge, and the highest authority. I create the rules, make the draws, and resolve disputes. In the tournament thread, only reports and posts from the organizer are not considered off-topic; I have the right to delete everything else as off-topic. If you don't like it, create your own tournaments and run them.

Comrade Navukh has organized a tournament, stating openly that he will not need any assistance from the AK (Administration Committee), and will resolve all issues independently.

Then why is the Customer Support even needed?

I don't know either.

In the WT chat, the phrase "complain to the Arbitration Committee" is similar in meaning to telling someone to go take a hike.

Yes, I've already seen it... It's sad. :( :( :( Then what's the point of the Arbitration Committee (AC) at all?

I don't know either.

In the WT chat, the phrase "complain to the Arbitration Committee" is similar in meaning to telling someone to go take a long walk.

Probably, it is primarily needed by those who need it.

In the WT chat, the phrase "complain to the AK" is close in meaning to being sent on a long walk.

Regarding the stance Vitya took, I fully support him. We shouldn't allow every newcomer to contact the Arbitration Committee (AC) when they don't understand why their opponent has an angel in the first week, etc. I'm sure that in such a tournament, many controversial situations arise, many of which remain off-screen and are resolved by the host. We should thank him for that!

I would also like to remind you that any organizer has the right to involve or not involve the AC in resolving issues. If a person is so confident in their own competence that they can handle everything themselves and resolve all controversial issues, then good for them.

It's incorrect to use the club tournament as an example – there, AK (anti-cheat) isn't needed, everything is already visible.

And the WT chat reminds me of a verbal sewer, where a lot of garbage is dumped.

The WT chat is generally a garbage dump; it's often unpleasant to read, even for me.

For example, you refused to let readme participate in the tournament, and he felt that your decision was unfair, so he left the forum. I don't understand why he didn't go to the AK...

We're not talking about a club tournament, but about the "24 templates" tournament.

Moreover, as historical experience shows, it is precisely in such "cesspools" that everything originates – language, morals, and culture. What is said among the people today is discussed in offices tomorrow, the day after it is spoken from the podium, and the day after that it is written into the constitution.

So, in this tournament, there were no serious controversial situations – otherwise, there would have been dissatisfied people in any case.

If our media could publish everything that old women on benches and men in pubs say, sharing their opinions about the government, the legislative and judicial branches, then the apocalypse would have come a long time ago.
