Team tournament!

If it's possible to discuss it here, I have a couple of questions:

Is that what you call a couple? ;)

1) Is this a season, a round-robin tournament, or a playoff?

The tournament system will be determined after the approximate number of participants is known.

2) Are there any restrictions on pairing (can players from different Clans or unaffiliated players be paired)?

There are no restrictions.

3) Will the timing of the paired games be addressed? I think that ideally, both pairs should play at the same time; otherwise, the second pair will know all the information about the map.

A ban on communication between teammates regarding a game played by one of them will be established. This relies entirely on the honesty of the players, although no more and no less than playing online in general. And if possible, of course, it is better when the games start at the same time or at least on the same day. But with our workload, this is problematic.

4) What about the choice of Castles? - standard "draft" or something new?

I think it will be the usual draft.

5) In the case of a 1:1 result, what should happen (a draw or an extra battle)?

This will depend on the tournament system.

6) Maybe it would be worth introducing the option for the second pair to restart the same save game, rather than creating a new one (update the guards or change the contents of the chests, etc.) - this would at least introduce some element of the unknown.

I tried it - different monsters are not generated from the same save. As far as I remember from the official game, the contents of the dungeons, magic guilds, etc. also do not change. Only the order of heroes appearing in the tavern changes. But let the experts correct me.

7) And of course, we are waiting for the full regulations: rules, etc.

It will be available soon!

At the request of the players, I am providing a link to the paired tournament of 2006, which I organized on the portal. I hope this will make it clearer what we will face :smile03:
