Posts from Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.
Question: does a person have the right to be the organizer of an important tournament for the site, if their personal grudge is more important than anything else?

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...
Bravo, Wicc!
Yes, I remembered the case with Falcone. Falcone's game crashed, supposedly due to an internet lag, but he remembered that he had 22 minutes left. I suggested that he continue his turn immediately, and I would add the difference between the time at the start of his turn and 22 minutes to my own time. That is, he simply continues his turn, and on my turn, I make a save after accounting for this difference and reload my turn to continue. In this case, since I had almost no time left on my timer, I would theoretically gain some advantage. But I considered that since the opponent crashed during his turn, and I didn't raise any questions (for example, the opponent could have saved before a difficult battle and crashed if the battle turned out badly), this was a fair solution. But the opponent insisted on continuing his turn without doing anything until 22 minutes. In this case, a third participant would be needed to monitor the opponent until 22 minutes. Zloy Romantic and Dirty were offered as people who could monitor the process of doing nothing, but since Zloy Romantic and Falcone were from the same city (St. Petersburg), Dirty was a better option for me. This is a huge problem and a problem with opponents. In the subsequent game, Falcone showed himself 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 problem. I also expressed my opinion to Zloy Romantic 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.

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.

Well, the solution you proposed is indeed strange, and the requirement for monitoring the time wasting may be logical, but at the very least, it's not customary here, and it would create extra hassle for the judges. I would like to remind you that corrupted saves appeared only in 2013; how did they manage before that for so many years? //By the way, I haven't seen any epic disputes about suspected map hacking lately, like the ones that used to be against Britvotchka and Chemist; maybe passwords are related to that// I'm saying this because if you don't trust anyone, it's easier not to play at all.
But the decision is strange, of course, but no less strange than the exclusion of Rebellius from the "Outlaw 2" tournament, so this is already a trend.
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.
Regarding the situation, I myself don't understand why the refusal occurred, but if there are some disagreements between people, what should be done? In fact, there is a solution. Since there are 2 organizers in the tournament, I don't see any problem with Roger communicating through Palach.

Some people waste a lot of time in the organization without any particular reason (well, it's just ridiculous to make Dirty watch how Falcon does 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 a person to a fun team tournament if he is likely to annoy someone.
On what basis, may I ask?
Ras Roger submitted an application — he is a participant. His application was not accepted — he used subclause "c" of point 3.2 of the rules.
He appealed to the AC and, I assume, is waiting for an appropriate decision. The AC must then determine whether the rejection was justified or not. Until a decision is made, such a removal of a participant is unlawful.
I consider the refusal to register for the tournament unjustified also because the player being denied participation submitted their application for the tournament correctly and on time, and they received information about the denial only after the tournament had already started — when the list of 20 players needed to be submitted.
In this case, this is outright disrespectful treatment of a tournament participant by the organizer.
And if we open the organization rules, subclause "c" of point 2.1 states that the Organizer must treat the tournament participants, their requests, comments, and wishes with respect and attention.
Since the conduct of tournaments is based on these rules, and seeing such rejections, I have a perfectly reasonable question.
So why even state in the tournament regulations that it is based on the HeroesWorld tournament rules, if they are not followed or are followed selectively for personal gain?

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.

The process of doing nothing took 5-6 minutes, but Kostya watched the game for a couple more hours of his own free will. And it wasn't my suggestion if you read Aiwe's text carefully.
Yes, to a person with whom I have never played, who has never been an organizer or a judge during my participation in tournaments. But who, on the other hand, knows who is always dissatisfied with everything, is sure that someone will annoy others, and the negativity from whom is so obvious that it is difficult not to notice. Moreover, as Satyr noticed, the negativity stems from personal hatred.
I, to put it mildly, Aiwe, do not trust your opinion.
