New Year's Duel Tournaments. Regulations, Rules.

So... the first option was more popular, which is not surprising, as it has been refined for ages on the League. :)
I assume that everyone who didn't vote agrees to play with whatever is chosen. But if you still have suggestions or want to vote for one of the presented systems, please write :)

For now, the first option is in the lead:
2 battles
the score can be either 1 - 1 or 2 - 0.
One point is awarded for each won match.
Castles are random.
Then, several players advance to the next stage.

I will try to describe the second option in more detail:
each player plays 5 battles against each other.
The first two battles are played as in the first template, that is, both are random.
3rd battle: a mirror match of the second battle
That is, if in the second game, red had Haven and blue had Magic, then in the third, red will have Magic and blue will have Haven.
4th and 5th battles are already with a draft.
Two or four players can advance to the final. Again, this needs to be decided.
I will also describe the draft options later and present them for selection. :)
So, I described it again:smile04:

by my all-consuming will...

On 07.01.09, the final system for the first stage will be chosen. Approximately around 0:00 Moscow time.

Until that moment, you have time to find me and, with the help of nails, a hammer, and a hot soldering iron, persuade me to change the system :)
