...or you can open your SGF file in a text editor and copy/paste the contents in-between the \[SGF\] tags.

ok... if that's the guidelines they were playing under...then I can understand.

were the rules/guidelines for this event ever published (publicly)?

I don't understand. How does "being aware of the issue" mean he should lose by timeout? It seems clear that he wanted to make a move on time. And he tried to make a move on time. But the client/server connection prevented him from making a move on time. That shouldn't be his fault.

Anyone who has ...

Another entirely foreseeable problem of internet play is misclicks.
I was recording a high level, in-person game once for the initial AGA pro tournament, and one of the players made a really strange move. We asked him about the move after the game to see if he was thinking something we couldn't ...

I've been advocating for a private, dedicated tournament server for years.

If proctor is in same room as player, there is a great chance that they will share same connection, Even if they have separate connection, it could be affected by same lag.
very true... and therefore all the more obvious that lag is occurring, since they can see on the player's screen that he ...

As long as proctors ensure that lag cannot be faked.

The proctors should have been "watching" the game from their own separate login as well. Then they could tell if a move (made locally), made it to the server or not.

But this is still just a workaround for KGS' lack of networking robustness.

And traditionally, black always places their first move in the upper right corner.

but once I was recording a game, and black played their first move in their lower left corner, so it looked like I was recording the game upside down.
