2009 World Championship for Heroes IV Online.

Because not everyone is competent in providing expert evaluations of maps.

I didn't think you would divide participants into competent and not-so-competent. Here are your strange comparisons with equal teams again. Even Dalai Lama has long stopped awarding expert titles. This is what I urge you to do – stop dividing people into the wisest and the rest. Look around, there are very few players.

If you see an alternative method that will be clearly regulated, then suggest it. But not "by agreement" – that's not serious.

I already wrote about it. This method is voting.

Of course, there is. It's called "backyard football." There, they play with two balls, in one goal without a net, and girls and boys of different ages, builds, and degrees of alcohol intoxication play :D Football is a freeware game; change the configuration as you like. But serious competitions somehow adhere to the same rules. But you wouldn't argue that there are simply tons of opportunities for modification, would you? ;)

Really? So, does that mean that next year, the Russian championship, at the whim of Mutko (or whoever is in charge), could be played on the beach? Of course not. Because serious football competitions do not involve changing the rules left and right, choosing the type of soil, the size of the fields, or the shape of the balls. But Heroes allows you to choose maps. Please, stop comparing different things. Everything that can be changed is changed in football. Let's not constantly use the same set of maps in Heroes, as Romanstev once exploited his players in the national team.

...this is a different story, and we are simply not ready for it.

So, you've decided for everyone?
