In my experience, tournaments usually require backtracking (when possible)
to play mandatory effects as you were supposed to. Since Web of Knives
recruit counter-removal is mandatory, you usually can (and must) remove the
counter even if you forgot to do it at the appropriate time. If practical
(ie, not too much has happened in the game), you would back up to the time
of the mandatory effect, perform it properly, then continue with your turn
from the point of the error. If backing up isn't practical, it's up to the
judge to decide how to handle it (which is true of the general case too -
technically, any time a play error is made in a tournament, it is the judge
who must correct it; players aren't authorized to reverse time on their
own).
From the VEKN Judges' Guide on "Procedural Error - Misrepresentation":
-----------
Definition:
A player is considered to have committed this infraction when he or she
unintentionally misplayed a card or a game rule.
Philosophy:
This penalty assumes an unintentional action on behalf of the player. If the
judge believes the misrepresentation was intentional, see section 160 -
Cheating. When the error is noticed and no significant game actions have
taken place, the error should be corrected. If any significant game actions
have taken place (such as moving to the next player's turn) it may be better
to leave the game undisturbed or impose some other game sanction (loss of a
pool, for instance) since players have made play decisions based on the
present state of the game. It is important that the player committing the
infraction receive no benefit in the game for doing so.
Penalty:
Caution.
