"Newcomer - 2018. Winter"

6. Questions regarding the acceptance of relatively experienced players or those with an earlier registration date on heroesworld will be considered by the organizers in consultation with the Tournament Committee.

Did the Tournament Committee allow Patriot, with 270 games played, to participate in his third novice tournament? For Mori (who took 4th place 1.5 years ago) and Scotty, this is also their third tournament. What's the point of having requirements for participants if none of them are followed?

Why has the regulation changed so drastically? What's the point of playing in a group if 4 out of 6 (5) people advance to the playoffs? And in the playoffs, it's a single-elimination best-of-1 format? What is this nonsense???

Where is the standard bracket with best-of-3 in the upper bracket and best-of-1 in the lower bracket?

The most harmless mistake: Mercurial is listed in groups 3 and 4, while The_Sonic is in groups 1 and 2.

I implore the members of the Tournament Committee to address the organization of the regular tournament.
