It would be interesting to hear the opinions of Rebel and Dirty themselves, as the host and judge – are they willing to consider any reasonable suggestions regarding the Regulations?
I like the idea of a random map pool. It's not clear why this is only for the playoffs and not for the entire tournament. Our organizers are strange; they admire the map selection system in a "charity" tournament, but at the same time, they are annoyed by the random map pool here (which isn't that different). In general, we need to try something new so that the brain works at least a little, so that people rethink the strength and value of castles and colors, and choose restarts more carefully, etc. It would also be good to have a couple of new map pools instead of 8x8, that would be great!
The only thing: I ask to be removed from the position of judge, as I will not be able to pay attention to the gameplay. Or leave me as a judge, but add other judges, and contact me only when the judges cannot figure it out themselves and an additional outside perspective is needed.
