Pit for LM

We haven't had a topic on "General rules for online HoMM3 tournaments" yet.
What I would like to discuss:
1. General rules for organizing and running tournaments. The rights and obligations of both organizers and players, as well as their mutual respect. I believe that the responsibility for the successful conduct of the tournament should lie not only with the players but also with the organizers. The powers of the organizers. Who grants them? Or do they simply take them on their own? Are decisions regarding the conduct of tournaments discussed collectively or only within a narrow circle? Here, we should also discuss, make more correct and specific, and supplement the rule from StickyFingaz.
2. Issues of judging tournaments. Our organizers participate in most of their tournaments. I believe it is necessary to involve an authoritative player who is not participating in the tournament to resolve controversial issues that arise in games involving the organizer. Such situations have already arisen and escalated into scandals. And in general, an additional authoritative opinion would not be superfluous.
3. Developing an algorithm for player behavior in case of rule violations or suspected violations. This is a very important issue. Many players do not know what to do in a controversial situation and vent everything on the forum. Again, scandals.
It is necessary to stipulate the severity of the punishment for violating the rules. Is every violation punished with a technical defeat? Or is a replay possible?
It is especially important to focus on controversial issues regarding violations of the fair play rule. It seems to me that if a cheater is not banned, then at least somehow inform everyone that this user was caught cheating, so that situations like the one we had in Times of Year do not occur, when a cheater, exposed in the fourth game, registered with us less than a month later and continued his activities. There were suggestions about indelible signatures... It would also be good to discuss the indivisibility of rules into "gentlemen's" and "ladies'" rules; after all, rules are not toilets. And it would be good if an avatar with a professional photograph of a professional model does not affect the enforcement of the rules.
4. In this topic, we could also discuss awarding bonus points for tournaments in the ranking if an alternative ranking is adopted as the main one.
5. Issues of participation, selection, and conduct of inter-portal tournaments.
6, 7, 8 ...
Tournaments are not yet a very common thing for us. It is unlikely that the topic will generate much discussion. Of the tournaments currently running, only BestofHW has gathered a fairly large number of participants. But for the future, I believe these issues are important to discuss. I hope that vbn, Dirty_Player, ewgeniy, Javdet, and other active members of our forum will show interest.
It seems that we have always had an open policy of discussing and resolving issues...
I reiterate the importance of a universally open approach to resolving such issues on our forum...
I believe that the issues raised concern all players, so even ordinary players have the right to influence their fate.
