Favorites, into battle! - 11.

At the moment, the arguments for all the main ideas that have been discussed in this thread are clear, except for the new template. It seems that nothing will be included in the Tournament Regulations (as default rules), not even Tant. Currently, a majority of 2/3 has not been achieved; in private conversations with experienced players, less than 50% voted in favor, and I was considering going ahead with changes to the ХВ rules only if there was an overwhelming majority of around 85%. A clause will be added stating that if any changes are made to the seasonal ХВ rules during the tournament, they will also apply to the tournament. Agreements between players by mutual consent have always been allowed. At least the idea of nerfing Necromancers by 20% for those who don't like the "Necrofest" was brought up, which might not have occurred before. Now, some players know that this is an option and can suggest it to their opponent by mutual agreement. The rest, which is already clear, remains to be added to the final text – as mentioned above in this thread. I propose we revisit what this topic was originally created for – the regulations outlined in the tournament thread. And perhaps you’ll notice something else that hasn’t yet received attention. If nothing significantly new emerges, the final version of the Regulations will be published on the night of December 6th-7th. There will then be another 8 days to allow emotions to subside and calmly review the final result. Regarding the new template, Russell has provided basic information. Those interested should take the time to look at it and test it themselves, including the railway variant. Additional positions for hosts and judges remain open.
