Current analysis of offline tournaments.

I decided to analyze the current state of the offline tournament scene. I'll start with the general situation... In 2008, 10 tournaments were held (and 1 more was in the endgame). And what do we see? 127 participations (70 participants) across 10 tournaments, which averages out to exactly 12.7 people per tournament. Not a very high attendance... let's be honest. - But the most discouraging statistic is for HOMM3 (that is, the most playable version of all):eek:. Also, the absolute anti-record belongs to the last tournament for the third game - 8 people. The average for HOMM3 is 38 participations (21 participants) across 4 tournaments, which is 9.5 people per tournament. This is also the lowest figure of all. And yet, almost half of the portal's tournaments were held for HOMM3 (4/9 = 44.4%). - Let's move on to the first game... 2 tournaments, 24 (9 and 15) participations (17 participants). In total, 12 people on average per tournament. - Now, the second game. Here, things are more or less normal (at least, they were before ВК2) - 40 (11+19+10) participations (32 participants, meaning only six out of thirty-two played in two of the three tournaments, and only one participated in all three tournaments). In total, 13.3 people per tournament. - No HOMM4 tournaments were held. IMHO, this is even worse :( - And finally, HOMM5. Although only one tournament was held, the attendance was amazing... 25 people - the absolute best result of 2008. And I'm not afraid to assume that the next tournament for the fifth game will attract at least as many participants. And now, a summary of the data. Total 127/10=12.7 HOMM1 24/2=12 HOMM2 40/3=13.3 HOMM3 38/4=9.5 HOMM4 0/0=0 HOMM5 25/1=25 I think there's something for the organizers to think about! Sincerely, always yours, Kamikaze!
