Right now, I see the parallel tournament as having three winners.
The "Novice" tournament is meant to be an introductory one, so new players can familiarize themselves with the rules and the tournament structure, etc. But here, they have two brackets, different templates, rules, and versions.
Experience has shown that two tournaments a year is a lot. Therefore, having two different tournaments a year (one on Soda, and one on HotA) seems like the optimal solution without unnecessary complications.
