Posts from Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

Although I constantly argue with Roger in "Politics," in this particular episode, he is more right.

Dismissing things with "I don't have time" looks bad, especially considering that expressing his position ultimately took only two lines. Plus, the misinformation that "this is the organizers' decision."

Not including a player in a tournament is, of course, the organizers' right, but it should be stated clearly and publicly: "Player N has not been accepted into the tournament for the following reasons." And these reasons should be explained in detail if requested.

But to silently remove someone from the list retroactively and deny questions... it feels rather rotten...

I remembered an incident with Falcone. Falcone's game crashed mid-turn, and it seemed like it was due to an internet lag. However, he remembered that he had 22 minutes left on his turn. I suggested that he continue his turn immediately, and I would add the difference between the time remaining on his turn and 22 minutes to my own time. In other words, he would simply continue his turn, and on my turn, I would account for that difference, save the game, and reload my turn to continue. In this case, since I usually had very little time left on my timer, I would theoretically gain some advantage. But I considered this a fair solution because his game crashed during his turn, and I didn't raise any objections (for example, the opponent could have saved the game before a difficult battle and crashed if the battle turned out badly). However, the opponent insisted on continuing his turn without doing anything for 22 minutes. In this case, a third participant would be needed to monitor the opponent until 22 minutes. Zloy Romantik and Dirty were suggested as people who could monitor the process of doing nothing, but since Zloy Romantik and Falcone were from the same city (St. Petersburg), Dirty seemed like a better option to me. This is a huge problem and a problem with opponents. Later in the game, Falcone proved to be a gentleman, and in return, I gave him 8 minutes, and we parted as friends. In any case, I have only positive impressions of Falcone, despite his stubbornness in resolving this technical issue. I also expressed my opinion to Zloy Romantik and Kosta that I would like to have a ready-made solution in this situation, as crashes happen quite often.

Maybe that's why I wasn't included in the tournament.

But the decision is strange, though no less strange than not allowing Rebellius to participate in the "Outlaw 2" tournament, so this is already a trend.

Therefore, Roger's demand to be reinstated in the tournament is quite justified.

However, this does not relieve the organizer of the obligation to explain to the player, but not publicly, the reason for the refusal.

On what basis, may I ask?

Since there are 2 organizers in the tournament, I don't see any problem with Roger communicating through Palach.

Ras Roger submitted an application – he is a participant.

He appealed to the Arbitration Committee and I assume he is waiting for a corresponding decision. Next, the Arbitration Committee must decide whether the rejection is justified or not. And until a decision is made, such a removal of a participant is not legitimate.

Participants registered on HeroesWorld after 12.08.2015 will not be accepted in the tournament.

So, why state in the tournament regulations that it is based on the rules for conducting HeroesWorld tournaments if they are not followed or are selectively followed in personal interests?

well, he's kind of trying to do that: "I ask the organizers and judges to reinstate me in the tournament until the Arbitration Committee makes a decision on this issue." But something tells us that this is a dead end and that our pirate will end up being excluded.

Some people waste a lot of time on the organizer without any particular reason (well, it's just ridiculous to make Dirty watch Falcon do nothing :D :D. You can only envy his patience).

Moreover, the people who are always dissatisfied with everything are the same, and there aren't that many of them. So why invite someone to a fun team tournament if they are likely to annoy someone?
