Zone 1 ReportDear EU Officials and Delegates, As I am unable to attend ICCF Congress 2014, Sergey Grodzenskiy, Deputy Zonal Director, will lead Zone 1 meeting. Appeals Committee Appeals Committee has had some "real" work to do as well. The nastiest appeal involved several accounts, which had been "hacked" and in whose names a sequence of losing moves was entered. The TDs decided to "undo" these hacked moves, upon which the players who benefitted from the losing moves promptly appealed! In these cases, Appeals Committee unanimously rejected the appeals. Still also, most of the "real" appeals are handled by the Chairman Ragnar Wikman, without having to bother the entire Committee - a clear majority of them is still based on misunderstandings of the Rules. Unfortunately a few of these "misunderstanders" seem to work from the assumption that either they are right or AC is wrong – as a consequence one player received a 6-month ban due to foul language. Apart from these kinds of incidents, Committee’s work proceeds quite smoothly.
