Question -- is there any kind of admin / TD adjudication process that one can use to do anything about game results outside of the typical channels?One of my opponents in a tournament timed out because he forgot to set Vacation Mode, and I'm set to auto-flag (as I normally want to do, for slow players). In this case, though, he's played a very good game against a stronger opponent and has (well, had) a winning position. I'm not quite ready to resign, but I hate for it to end like that -- I'd like to see if I could re-open the game and give him his shot to convert the win. Is there anything I can do?
No, unfortunately in this case there is nothing that can be done. However, even if auto-flag setting were turned off all tournament games will immediately timeout if a player runs out of time so as to prevent a tournament from going on forever.
