Frankly, it's not clear. What specific actions will be allowed when an opponent is detected? I would at least list the main allowed moves, such as blocking, or clearly define the prohibited ones...
What is the minimum number of participants that advance to the playoffs? How will the pairings for the playoffs be determined: based on the position in their group, for example, when forming 2 groups? By random draw? Or some other way?
I disagree with the technical restart due to the map creator's fault. Such things should be excluded, as the map is reviewed in advance by the person who generated it. A blocked dwelling can significantly affect the balance of power.
Regarding the point about viewing upgrades, artifacts, etc. If there is a time limit, it puts the judge in a disadvantageous position compared to the opponent during that viewing period.
Regarding the additional game, playing a three-player game doesn't seem right. The game is initially designed for 2 opponents, and here there are 3. You can simply "gang up" on the 3rd player by default, and you don't even need to coordinate... The Berger coefficient doesn't take into account the rating from previous tournaments; only the win/draw against a stronger player in the current tournament matters. By the way, why isn't a "draw" result provided for in the group stage?
The video answered all these questions.
1) You can do everything except attack the opponent's hero in that turn.
2) This depends on the number of registered participants. Currently, there are about 8 +/- people.
3) Samvan, if I remember correctly, paid attention to the fact that if this happens, it's purely his mistake, and therefore the map is restarted. If it were possible to always eliminate all errors, we would live in a perfect world.
4) I don't think this is a serious issue for what is essentially a beginners' tournament.
5) Oh, I was wrong here. I must have also missed this during the stream. If it is impossible to determine a clear winner, there will be a battle royale.
6) This was also answered in the video - this is a tournament for beginners and amateurs - there are no pros with a lot of tournament experience, and therefore there is no point in using the Berger system. And somewhere in the comments, Remix wrote that the goal of the mod is to lower the entry barrier for tournaments, which suggests attracting beginners and amateurs. In the future, perhaps, the Berger system will be used if this tournament continues.
