1. General rules for organizing and conducting tournaments. Rights and responsibilities of both organizers and players, as well as their mutual respect. I believe that the responsibility for the successful conduct of a tournament should lie not only with the players but also with the organizers. The authority of organizers. Who gives it to them? Or do they simply take it upon themselves? Are decisions regarding the conduct of tournaments discussed collectively or only by a narrow circle of insiders? Here, we should discuss, make it more precise and specific, and supplement the rule by StickyFingaz.
Well, tournaments are such a thing: if an organizer decides to hold a tournament, they have every right to dictate their terms, and it is up to the participant to decide: play or not play.
Of course, there should be a system of penalties, for example, for a "poorly organized tournament" or "delay/disruption of a tournament by a participant".
The rule introduced by StickyFingaz may be good, but he had no right whatsoever to introduce it and state that it applies to all HeroesWorld tournaments, because in essence he is just a forum dweller and nothing more!

2. Questions of tournament judging. Our organizers participate in most of their own tournaments. I consider it necessary to involve an authoritative player who is not participating in the tournament to resolve controversial issues that arise in the organizer's games. Such situations have already occurred and have escalated into scandals. And in general, an additional authoritative opinion would not be out of place.
I consider it necessary to create a so-called appeals committee, for example, of 5 people who do not often take part in tournaments but are at the same time sufficiently authoritative players (e.g., vbn, scorp, etc.), who can look into a controversial issue and make a decision (possibly by voting) that is not subject to discussion!

3. Development of an algorithm for player behavior when rules are violated or a violation is suspected. This is a very important issue. Many players do not know what to do in a controversial situation and spill everything onto the forum. Again, scandals.
It is necessary to stipulate the severity of punishment for violating the rules. Is every violation punished by a technical loss? Or is a replay possible?
Particular attention should be paid to controversial issues regarding violations of the fair play rule.
Again, the determination of fair/unfair play could be entrusted to the same committee. A cheater could be marked, for example, by making their nickname a color different from other users and the administration (e.g., orange).

4. In this same topic, one could discuss the awarding of bonus points for tournaments in the rating if an alternative rating is adopted as the main one.
Well, maybe we just need to drop the extra zero in the table that currently exists, and everything will be fine.

5. Questions of participation, selection, and conduct of cross-portal tournaments.
Here everything depends on the timing of cross-portal competitions; sometimes there is simply no time to conduct selections. I think the option with voting is fine!
