What does the "YC" column represent in the Results sheet?

Quote from the rules:
"Players who failed to start any games by the Official Tournament Start Date, submit results within 24 hours from completion of the game they won, or cause noticeable delays without any written notice to the host of the tournament will be issued a warning ("yellow card"), captured in the Results page. Players who receive more than 5 warnings during a current tournament shall miss the next tournament. Those receiving more than 10 warnings during a current tournament shall be disqualified from that tournament and their results will be stricken out."

No wonder I didn't see it... nothing came up when I searched for "YC"!

I was "awarded" a yellow card this round.

It would be good if I had known I had won the game but I was't, because my opponent resigned before the end so didn't let me make the winning move myself. The game just disappeared and i didn't know it.

If you want to ensure results reporting is kept up to date, how about issuing a yellow card to the players who resign instead.

I'm innocent I tell you!

I didn't do it.
Nobody saw me do it.
You can't prove anything.

That was bossy funny, my friend!  

I’ll keep the rule though... despite issuing a few singular cards this tournament, everyone has been really prompt on reporting their wins, I really appreciate it!

HAHA Bossy...you a politician!?! kidding. If it is mathematically impossible to win, I will resign the game (whether it be BBL or any variation). I find it speeds everything up.
Just me?
I do it.
Everybody sees it.
It can be proven.  
Good luck all!!

Yeah I know how it's normally done PakenStrip. But in normal ZE games you don't have to report your wins to anybody. That's is a difference.

If you resign early then you should report the loss as "resigned" so the other player isn't penalized for failing to read your mind.

EXACTLY!

The simplest rule would be if you end the game, either by winning or by resigning, you must report the outcome of the game or you get a yellow card...

I'm a Business Analyst so to me, the process matters.

OK, now I'm done.
