I feel really wronged right now by how things went down on the tourney.
I got aw'ed on the first round by not clicking a button on the site on the first round before 30 minutes after the brackets were made.
First of all, for players like me who have never used battlefy.com, it should have been stated on the rules that you have to click this button on the site before EACH GAME. On the rules document - which i read it whole yesterday - there's absolutely nothing about this detail that got me out of the tourney.
Still, that could be argued that if I talked to my opponent earlier, I would have found it out.
Thing is, according to robo's (who is an excellent admin and we are very grateful for what he does for the community and I have no intention to blame it on him with this topic) logs on discord:

Bracket is live
Brackets where live at 13:08 GMT. On the first version of the brackets, I had no opponent on the first round, and so did F1re. So we agreed to play a practice match before our games.

@everyone sorry I made a mistake with the bracket, please check again
Now robo tells everyone the second version of the brackets are up. On this version I have a opponent.
Despite lot's of guys starting their games of the SAME ROUND after 14 GMT. I got aw'ed before 13:54 GMT (probably earlier). Which can be seen on my discord logs with my then opponent adham:

There is nothing on the rules document that says I have to click ready on the battlefly site in order not to get aw'ed. Still I would probably have figured out if I wasn't playing with F1re due to the first brackets, and had more time to realize it (at least 30 minutes).
According to robo you have 30 minutes to click ready on each round.
But there it is:
Brackets where done by 13:16 GMT
I got aw'ed 13:54 GMT or before.
So i didn't even had the 30 minutes that would be fair for me to get disqualified.
I know this sounds like a massive cry topic, but I did read the whole rules document, postponed a travel I had this weekend and made sure I got the time to play this tourney even though it's a friday.
So I feel very sad to be out the way I was.
I really hope next editions rules are clearer and they are actually followed so no one schedule their whole week to play the tourney and end up being disqualified without even trying.
