In a tournament, who has the authority to investigate reported bugs?

In a tournament setting, the responsibility for investigating reports of bugs lies with the judge. Judges are trained and authorized officials tasked with maintaining the integrity of the game and ensuring that the rules are properly enforced. They are equipped to handle various situations, including investigating any reported bugs in the software or issues related to gameplay.

Judges have the expertise to assess whether a bug affected the game and can make determinations based on the situation. Their authority provides a structured approach to resolving disputes, ensuring fairness and consistency in the tournament environment. Other players or the event organizer may not possess the necessary knowledge or impartiality to carry out a proper investigation. Their involvement could lead to conflicts of interest or a lack of adherence to established procedures.
