For the first tournament, the main focus will be on the participation of the players. That is, for example, Gynnar, Alex_R, Dust, Catch, Captain, Brennan, vbn, PReDS, and others say: we will play. We want to play the first tournament before March 31st, so that it will be more fun to summarize the results on April 1st!
I say: no problem, great, play, we will do everything as planned, we will find a host, and we will also come up with a formula for the ranking, if there are any options for the formula - great, if not - we will take it from the third Heroes tournament. vbn will help us with the table, I hope.
All for the joy of our dear and respected players!
Regarding the formula for the ranking, the rules already state how many points each player receives depending on whether they win or lose, and how many times they have already played against the same player. We can either leave this as is or introduce a new one (since the current system makes it disadvantageous to play more than 2-3 times against the same player, and given that there are not many players for the second game, and when there is an opportunity and desire to play, it may happen that the same player is available for several days, so this restriction sometimes hinders things). Also, the fact that the same number of points are awarded for winning against Deep Mike, for example, and a newcomer who has just started playing the second game (although now, with zero online play experience, the ranking and strength of all players will be 0 by default). In general, decide how the ranking will be calculated, either like on the Portal, or something else...
And regarding how to get more players involved, it would be good to come up with some kind of original prize ;) (like a funny inscription in their profile or something original in their profile). I personally don't care about the prize, but for many, this will be an incentive, since the activity of players in the second game (judging by the Portal) is currently zero...
