Sorry if this is not the right place for this thread.
So I am just back from a GPT for Strasbourg and the following thing happen. I am explaining step by step :
1. The tournament was very small, only 14 peoples.
2. In the first round I got a tied match 1- 1 games, so my results is 0-0-1
3. In the second round I got a victory with a result - 2 0 , so my result is 1-0-1
4. In the this round I got a victory with a result - 2 0, so my result is 2-0-1 or I am thinking it is... Here the **** happen. While I was walking out of the venue I meet the opponent from round 2 speaking with the Head Judge, who is also the tournament organizer. My Opponent told me that the result was Incorrectly reported in the DCI Reporter Tournament Software. Here is the place to say that that the Head Judge/ tournament organizer was walking around the venue and asking the players what the results are. There isn't paper sheets, where the 2 players put the results and place a signature.
5. I was shocked, same for my opponent from Round 2, who told the Head Judge/ tournament organizer that he don't want to win this way. And the Head Judge/ tournament organizer told us that nothing can't be done and the result will stay.
6. After 2 more rounds I got 2 more wins, but the result in the DCI Reporter Tournament Software was 3 - 1- 1 and I failed to enter top 4.
7. The Head Judge/ tournament agree that this is his fault but ...nothing could be done and the results will stay.
8. After some conversation with him he give me 2 boosters compensation lol.. But first he tell me that I will not get any prize. The prize was only for top 4.
So what I should do ? I have done just 1 mistake - not checking my result immediately after the round...but I was thinking that this is the typical way this Head Judge/ tournament is proceeding - not giving a paper form for results and signature, but walking around the room and asking the players for results.
Where I should write a e- mail and what could be done by DCI ?
Thanks in advance !
