They are on the League. The website will be up by the time of the draw.
Let me explain why I suggest this format.
Disadvantages of the group stage + knockout:
- Uncontrolled rounds, games proceed "on their own" – this leads to complacency and major delays;
- Gaps in the tables – this severely damages the tournament's image;
- Very long duration;
- In the playoff (knockout) section, very strong players can be eliminated by chance, almost without having time to play against serious opponents. That is, the most interesting section of the tournament for half of the playoff participants ends immediately. As a result, you struggle through the groups (searching and agonizing) and are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, having barely played – it's frustrating.
We need to decide on the map voting. 7 days or until the start of the tournament. If until the start of the tournament, it should be open so that people can practice. I don't really like the openness because it encourages manipulation and collusion, but if there is no other option, we can have an open vote until the start.
July 1: Publication of tournament materials, maps selected by the organizing committee, opening the possibility to add/withdraw judges or maps, opening registration for the championship.
July 7: Blocking the list of maps and judges, start of map voting.
July 13: Completion of map voting, publication of the final list.
July 20: Publication of the draw results.
August 13: Start of the championship.
