since this is circuit finals and he let you know he was ill, maybe an exception case can be made? feels a bit scummy to play victim despite ur opp likely being sick & act like he took a large portion of your day when you didn't need to wait 3 hours for him, just 30 mins.
you're technically warranted an act win but that's a bit disappointing to see for this kind of match, esp during the holidays. sry to be that contrarian when the rules favor you but i feel bad for ur opp and would be cool to see this series played properly
