All proposed changes are being discussed because I am not ready to include them in the final regulations without the approval of the players, the sponsor, and the team that will be assembled to run the tournament.

I take into account the opinion of each of you, as the criticism is well-reasoned. Some are also sending their comments in private messages. Some don't like that there will be a SoD (Sudden Death), others that the game is being played without rules, and still others dislike the format itself, etc.

The sponsor pays and orders the music, of course. But he is open to dialogue, and just as in the previous tournament, we managed to convince him to make some changes, I think we can do the same this time – he will agree to some changes without any problems. The tournament format is still a bit rough.

The main thing is that, with the changes made:
1) We gather a quorum of teams and players.
2) We assemble a team that will be ready to participate in running such a tournament (I can't handle such a large tournament on my own, at least if I am the only one, it will be very long).
