The conversation above is a highlight of what happened after I asked a ref, who then gave Jove an additional 5 minutes to respond in group chat or to me personally that he was ready to play. Ofc Jove never responded up until 10 minutes after that when Romeo shows up to argue that he was "unfairly" disqualified. What continued was the worst response I have ever seen from a tourney host, honestly. Romeo I love your tournaments and don't mind how you set them up, but if you have rules and decide to alter them to your own liking in a way that wasn't professional at all I find that quite offensive to be honest.
Anyway, this is what I wanted to let the community know about, and wish in future tournaments Romeo distinguishes himself a better manner around issues such as this one, that is all.
Side Note: For the people who called me a "coward" or "scared", who I wont call-out because that's not the purpose of this post, I wanted to get the tournament over with and go do the things I had to do that day. This is just a game and not something of "high" priority, so please, get a life. The only reason I went with Romeo's decision is because I wanted to show how wrong some people are, as I could have just stayed with the previous Ref's decision, I decided to politely continue the tournament even though the final decision was already made by a Ref of Romeo's 10 minutes before Romeo shows up.....

DISCLAIMER: I have decided to make this public, and I can, as I am part of the party involved and this was published on a public forum. I feel this is better than doing it behind the scenes, as that would accomplish little imo.
