Question 1 - what are the names of these two topics? Hall of Fame, Portal of Glory? Blacklist, Board of Shame, Dungeon, List of Goats, or something else?
Portal of Glory – resonates with the name of the neighboring resource, in my opinion, Hall of Fame is better.
Regarding the negative. Board of Shame – won't work if a person starts cheating, loses their conscience, then they are indifferent to shame. Dungeon – players of Dungeon will be offended. List of Goats – incredibly accurate and good, but we are, after all, a cultural resource. I will vote for Blacklist – unobtrusive, not offensive, but immediately clear.
[Question 2. Do you think the Tournament Organizer has the right to refuse to accept an application from a user WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE REASON? Or based on the fact that the applicant does not play in the season?/QUOTE]
No. Let's say, I don't play in the season (and never have, unlike tournaments - I just don't have time), so I should also be refused, and several other people who have been working on the forum for a long time, who cannot play constantly. And newcomers should be given more chances. It is possible that they may drop out of the tournament, but that is not scary, because…
- if it's a Swiss system, then the maximum damage from their non-participation is a plus for someone in the 1st round;
- if it's a group tournament, then a correct seeding of players is simply needed, because I remember how in one tournament three newcomers who don't play against each other ended up in the same group. And if there are three experienced players in the group, they will somehow survive the absence of one.Question 4. How much time do you usually need and is enough for 1 tournament game?
It depends not only on the players, but also on the organizers. At the beginning of the year, several tournaments were running simultaneously, and one of the players said that he was participating in 5 tournaments at the same time. And all of them were going smoothly precisely because the players were overloaded. A well-composed schedule of major tournaments on the resource is simply necessary, where the main mass of players is involved. Those who want more tournaments can participate in small tournaments, which are only welcome (mini-champs with new ideas are very useful, like a breath of fresh air).
Ideally, 1-2 major tournaments should run simultaneously: a player who plays little will choose only one champ, a player who plays more – in case of failure in one tournament, he takes revenge in another.
It is important that there are tournaments and that they are held regularly.
Question 5. Do you agree in advance about the tournament match with your opponent and when do you start doing this? Or do you wait until the last moment, and then try to catch him on ICQ?
I think it's good manners for people to immediately start agreeing with their opponent about the game. If this does not happen, then there is a small flaw – unwillingness to play, a demonstrative disrespect for the opponent, fear of the opponent's skill, hope to earn a plus without playing.
In my opinion, a player should simply send his opponent something like: "Ready to play the game in the tournament, write when...", and the sooner, the better.
[Question 6. What decision should the organizer make, in your opinion, if the players delay the deadlines for the round? Should he set a time for them and monitor their attendance on ICQ? Or simply assign technical defeats to both? Or another situation: a player appears on time, starts the game, and after 20-40 minutes reports that he has urgent matters and needs to postpone the game. Maybe a rule should be introduced - if there was an agreement on the game, then play for at least 2 hours?/QUOTE]
The organizer has nothing to do but catch the players. I also tried to do this when players did not play in team tournaments, and it was a Sisyphean task. If the players didn't want to play – they didn't want to.
If only one person didn't want to – then the other, who wanted to play, announced it on the forum. Let's say, if a player writes about his desire to play at the beginning or in the middle of the allotted time, 3-4 days before the end of the round, then it is clear who wants to play. The referee can set the game time on the forum.
However, there are cunning people who wait until the last moment, and then rush to the forum: like, there are two hours left until the end of the round, and there is no opponent. And he demands a victory for himself.
Such people – should be punished without mercy, if a person cannot confirm that he wrote to his opponent on ICQ not on the last day and did not inform the referee – minus to both, both are not worthy of the word "Victory".
