Anyone who is hoping to gain a title in the near (or far) future, or is planning to organise such an event, needs to read the latest articles from the FIDE Qualification Commission. They are published at https://qc.fide.com/category/news/ and cover the latest regulations on titles, as well as ratings.
I am highlighting this for 2 reasons. Firstly, I wrote most of these articles (spelling an grammar errors are mine btw), and secondly, organisers and players are still invalidating norms by making basic mistakes in organising and running events. Some of the cases have been highlighted in the Case Studies sections of both, and the "You shouldn't punish players for arbiters mistakes" excuse isn't working any more. What does work instead, is players making sure that the tournaments they are playing in follow the correct regulations. It shouldn't be that hard.

Players should not be held responsible for any incompetence of organisers and/or arbiters. Case closed.
