An attempt to organize a team tournament between countries!

You underestimate the power of ignoring, and the captain only needs to play 2 games a week, I don't see any problems. It's just that what you consider help for countries with 2 players will be commonplace in others; you're just creating a loophole in the rules with these nuances and unwillingness to clarify them... okay, think about it yourself... but I would suggest you consult with someone with a lot of experience in organizing Tournaments to solve these kinds of issues (for example, Dirty_player).

If Dirty were a more available person, we could do all the Tournaments with him, create regulations for them, and so on. I already bother him periodically, and I apologize for that. And now, with the recent events... some players clearly aren't focused on Heroes right now.

Regarding ignoring – no one is immune to it, of course. But forcing the captain to step down isn't a problem. The problem is finding a replacement for him. And in Russia, the issue isn't completely resolved yet. If Korea doesn't get in touch, or Hungary ultimately doesn't confirm, we might see a separate Siberian team or a division into Western Russia and Eastern Russia, for example, if there aren't any other teams. It's in Russia that the biggest problems with player availability are emerging. Also, many probably have roots in other countries – for example, it would be quite possible to assemble an Israeli team if there's enough desire.

I was even considering a format where large teams couldn't repeat players. But after your comments, I've finally leaned towards common rules with the allowance of repeating a player in the last game – like in card games. It's still too early to rebel – we need to see the final list of teams.
