Tournament Format: Several divisions of 14-16 players each (depending on the number of participants), meaning 13-15 weeks to complete a single round-robin competition (one round = one week). We plan to have 2-3 divisions.
League Category Distribution:
Option 1: A draw will pair up participants, and matches will be played until one player achieves two victories.
Option 2: Groups of 3 players. The first-place player advances directly to the "top league," and the third-place player goes to the "lower league." The second-place teams will compete for the remaining spots in the top league.
Both options are relative, as they heavily depend on the number of participants.
It is also possible to seed the participants, dividing them into newcomers and "veterans." Seeding is interesting because it increases confidence that the forum's veterans will not drop out.
Rules: There will be significant restrictions on heroes. Should we also impose restrictions on castles? I suggest not, but for the Conjuration faction, we should impose a significant restriction: disallowing the use of the Armageddon spell due to its 99.9% win rate with that tactic.
Maps: Fixes become tedious very quickly, so there is a good reason to use random maps. Here's how they will be created: The participants in a match create a random map using the standard method. The red player creates the map, and they are determined by a draw. Each player will have the right to 2 restarts due to unforeseen circumstances (inability to leave the castle, lack of a road, etc.). A restart is possible during the first week of the game. The map is completely random. Another option is that each player plays with each castle; in nine out of ten games, they must play with a castle that they still have available. After the game, the castle is removed from their active roster. The remaining games are played randomly. The player can decide for themselves before each match whether to play randomly or with their active castles.
Also, please submit your preliminary applications to participate in the tournament. The tournament is planned for mid-September to early October.
