I don't see anything wrong with having a preliminary sign-up. If the organizer wants to and has the time to maintain a preliminary table, why shouldn't they? But since the suggestion has been made, in the near future we'll try running Tournaments without a preliminary sign-up, and see what happens.
I can tell you right now what will happen – there won't be unnecessary whining like "this Tournament is great, please include me" and "oh, I didn't make it – I had problems in real life, there's a lack of communism, and, in general, I have worms, they're really bothering me, but you're here with your Tournaments." Why create posts for lazy people?
There was a Tournament, for Heroes I or II, I don't remember exactly, where 1st and 2nd place were determined by the 3rd criterion (mercury) between vbn and Alex_R. This doesn't mean that I, for example, am against removing the 3rd criterion. Everything needs to be weighed, although this issue, like the issue of preliminary sign-up, is not so critical. The main thing now is to determine the fate of the patch. Although, I think it's already clear what awaits us on heroesworld in the future. ;)
But for me, the issue of the third criterion is important, and in general, it is important for those who participate in Tournaments more than once every six months. Who needs overly complex Tournaments? Or are you saying that most people don't pay enough attention to the third criterion? Even if that's the case, why is that? Because completing the Tournament itself, paying attention to the second criterion, is already a hassle, and we're adding a third one to completely exhaust the poor guy. Clearly, there is no need for a third criterion. As I've already noted, after reaching the maximum on the first two criteria, I start focusing on the third. Do I need that? No. So, who does this third criterion benefit? No one, it's just there for the sake of it. This is, at the very least, the wrong approach. Therefore, we remove it.
