These here are your clues that he wasn't telling you to start fighting. I'm sorry you guys made a mistake or that there was a misunderstanding, but dear lord take it like adults.
You made a mistake in internet spaceships (and it was your pilot's mistake, not anyone elses), laugh it off and move on.

just what i was going to post evil synns. Down on your blocks - marks... set ... -stop- you loose , and then you spit in the dirrection of the referee, understandable in my book. The Oxford v Cambridge boat race has run 152 times. Referees mess up sometimes, but they let the best team win out in the end after restarts. (I have no alliance affilitation here)
There are false starts in athletics all the time. Usually, in most events, the race will be restarted. If the offender re-offends and commits another false start, they are disqualified. If the offender kicks the referee in the face, he is likely to be arrested and banned from the sport indefinitely.
In this Tourney, it appears that moving before the signal results in a small points penalty. Destroying enemy ships before the signal (which is what HI did) results in a match forfeit (according the GM Nova). Ganking Eve TV staff, being uncooperative, and generally causing hassle for the GMs seems to result in a complete disqualification.
That sounds most fair to me. The official line is that if they'd just gone "Oh dear, that wasn't the start? Sorry..." they would have just forfeited the match and been able to continue to play the rest of their group (and in theory they could still have scored enough points to go through to the next round).
It was them who made the initial mistake, and them that made matters worse. They've got no-one to blame but themselves.
