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 !

WotC has nothing to do with this.

Things you can do:
*) Wait till the tournament gets uploaded, open it in your planeswalkerpointthingy and report it.
*) Contact your regional coordinator and tell the story

There's no way you can get prizes out of this tournament, but you can prevents stuff from going wrong in the future...

Yeah once your results have been entered, you have a fairly limited time to correct it once pairings are posted and the round gets started.

Pretty much this is why you should always check your points at the beginning of each round (to make sure clerical errors don't happen to you).
