Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament.

1. The Tournament is held in 10 stages.
Stages 1 and 6 - Heroes 1;
Stages 2 and 7 - Heroes 2;
Stages 3 and 8 - Heroes 3;
Stages 4 and 9 - Heroes 4;
Stages 5 and 10 - Heroes 5.

Perhaps it would be worth establishing that

The first round is the "Sword Round," where preference is given to playing as the Warrior Castle.
The second round is the "Magic Round," where preference is given to playing as the Magic Castle.

This would be more interesting, as I think.

3. The Tournament is held based on the speed of completion.
Criteria:
-) completion time;
-) the sum of the hero's parameters, INCLUDING the equipped artifacts;
-) the amount of mercury.

Perhaps the last two points are unnecessary, as they limit the types of possible maps and tournament tasks. But the first point is definitely relevant for better convergence of the rating according to the AlexeyPank system.
It is necessary to highlight the point about "Awarding prize points." In short, I suggest simply reworking and supplementing the very first post in this thread.

Organizing committee.
VDV_forever, Kamikaze, Qwerty, Ley, Lu4ik, Lord Vampire, Fireball (we add).

I am, of course, flattered by your opinion, but there are no objective reasons to include anyone other than the organizers and representatives of the administration in the organizing committee. Unless a decision is made that the committee should include a representative "from the players," chosen from among last year's winners. But I'm not sure if this is really necessary.
