An attempt to organize a team tournament between countries!

When going through templates, I considered the Diamond option — it is the closest to what is needed. Of course, games on it often last exactly 4 weeks, and there have been cases of dragging on up to 2 months. For example, take the last Mirror tournament:
27.08.2017 LuckyF (Blue, Inferno, Ignatius, Ignatius) def flate (Red, Inferno, Nimussa, Gundula) Mirror Diamond 146
30.09.2017 =Lizard= (Blue, Inferno, Octavia, Crag Hack) def Dave_HUN (Red, Inferno, Fiona, Krellion) Mirror Diamond 146
24.01.2018 Dave_HUN (Red, Dungeon, Das, Das) def MikeM (Blue, Dungeon, Damacon, Damacon) Mirror Diamond 141

These games fit within the limit, but barely even at the TOP level. It is clear that no one can guarantee that a game, even on an M-map, will be played in 4 weeks. I am also considering Mininosta as a last resort. Diamond and Mininosta are templates that can be played in one sitting, but with a high probability a streamer-commentator will stream such a game for an entire day. I will repeat again — if there are streamers willing to spend that much time, I am ready to allow such templates without issue. And I myself am ready to stream such templates if needed.

Regular Jebus Cross is already on the list, and the Mirror version is present separately.

The question of testing truly strong players sounds utopian. From personal communication with a number of "dads", I can say that only a few agree to spend a lot of their time in a short period for someone else. I am open to suggestions.

The shortage of streamers forces us to cut game time as much as possible. We have already shown how three tournaments (even 14-32 players) can be covered even by one person — but not in the live broadcast mode. Here everything is different.
Well, specifically regarding that game of mine on mt_Diamond given as an example — firstly, the generation turned out not very typical for mt_Diamond and was really inconvenient for contact; secondly, I completely threw the game away to zero on 121, basically due to a mistake and unfamiliarity with the template (I didn't notice that the trees became 100+ from the pandora's box), which also naturally lengthened the game :D
And regarding tournament coverage and the limited number of people willing to do it... Wouldn't it be better to not strive to cover absolutely all games by worsening the quality of those very games due to very questionable templates, but instead focus on some more key games? Besides, teams will drop out towards the end, and it will become easier.
