Crazyhouse World Championship 2021 - Double Elimination Knockout Stage

@JannLee @okei Hey sorry, was having trouble connecting with my opp bc he had messaging turned off. We are in contact and should hopefully play in next 24 hrs.
[EDIT: It seems that the following has been answered since I posted it. Instead of changing anything I add the following TL;DR: my understanding now is that a forfeit is *not necessarily* the same as a withdrawal; depending on circumstances a forfeitter *might* get to play in what has become known as the losers' bracket]

It looks as though updating challonge.com/CWC2021 is done by committee. I am happy to help if needed.

I could devote some time to this over the Easter weekend. It seems that part of the problem may be that we have several forums (or, if you prefer, fora) open at once (albeit one fewer now thanks to @fischyvishy, with whose name I find I have to be extremely careful with spelling thanks to various similarly-named accounts that have existed at one time or another. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation!).

Also, I don't want to shame anyone publicly or otherwise but it does seem that quite a few people have withdrawn from a match/the championship for a variety of reasons. I for one would like clarity on whether the effect on other players (namely, being back in the running) is the same whether you choose not to contest a match or quit the tournament/have your account marked. This time I won't ping every organiser because if I did I am pretty sure it would still be the same people who would contact me!
Is the challonge not up to date? LegionDestroyer is the owner but other mods chip in also. So we should have it covered multiple times.

If people withdraw of have account marked it comes to the same thing. Are there other instances of this which we have missed of players who have won a match and then withdrawn? The loser should then take their place. lichess.org/forum/team-crazyhouse-world-championship/crazyhouse-world-championship-2021-tournament-structure-and-prizes?page=3#29
@TKSBHMBenjamin assuming Bugfish hasn't made any contact in the last final 24 hours, we are playing next, I think your settings won't allow me to send a private message so hereby I'll let you know I can play at any moment any day (and night) except for Friday 02/04 10 AM my time, but I think that's in the middle of the night for you anyway.
