What if we did this? In the highest league, only the winners of major Tournaments held on our forum and the winners of the seasonal ranking would constantly play; the rest would qualify through a qualifying tournament. Looks like I've remembered everyone. Alex R, Uran, Pit are the winners of official seasonal online Tournaments, even if they were on fixed maps, initially organized by Adelaide and now by Evgeny. I don't think anyone doubts the skill level of these players. Dudj, Invisible are the winners of major Tournaments held this year on random maps, even if they are not official, but they attract a decent number of players. Scorp, Vitalik, Dubrovin Pavel are the winners of the seasonal ranking. That is, people who, in one way or another, have entered, albeit a small, but still, the history of our forum, who have put a lot of effort into winning, because you can't succeed without effort. Maybe I forgot someone... Let's say, 2-4 places can be played in a qualifying tournament, that is, new players can also qualify and play in the highest league, but the core will be made up of those who raised the online presence on our forum with their victories. If Stinger or Paladin win the highest league, well, let them, they will also train ours. Explanations... 1. What to do when the number of deserving people exceeds ten, when there are new Tournament winners, new seasonal ranking winners? We can hold group Tournaments, like the Champions League or the Libertadores Cup in football. 2. Will it turn out that in a year or two, the deserving people will lose their skill level, and instead of the highest league, it will be a gathering of has-beens? No, Uran, Alex R, etc. play little, but look how. We won't be ashamed of them for the next year or two, and it doesn't make sense to look further. 3. What to do if one of the champions refuses? Take the next ones from the qualifying tournament, or give a green card to someone from the experienced players, like Mizrael or vbn. 4. 10 people playing in a round-robin system - is that 9 rounds, is it too long? Yes, it's long, so it's worth dividing them into two groups of 5 people. Two go to the semi-finals, the winners of the semi-finals play in the final. The winner in the end will rightfully be the champion of champions of our forum, we will award him the title of "first sword of the forum". P.S. Respected Vik wrote that it is not necessary to copy someone else's experience. In general, if the experience was positive, then it should be adopted. There was a lot of interest in that Tournament on the forum. Another P.S. Give the Tournament organized by Javdet the status of a qualifying tournament for the highest league, let's say, 2 places qualify for the highest league. Because we are unlikely to be able to handle two Tournaments right now. The forum is only being revived, the number of forum members has decreased. People are also recovering from the New Year and waiting for Christmas, we won't be able to get much out of them.
