[/U]Regulations of the first Tournament of Honor.
1. The tournament is held in three stages. The duration of each stage is 40 days...
3. The competitions are held on maps of size M and L ...
5. A player may submit as many winning saves as he has managed. thus, the number of submitted saves can be from 1 to 3.
1. 40 days is original... kind of a weighted average ;)
3. Also interesting — in the poll there weren't even any M-sized maps, but I'm for it
5. from 0 to 3 ;)
Regarding map scouting and the use of "tried-and-tested" maps... So you want to give out some maps that have already been played through N times, which some people know inside out? And those who don't know them will fumble around like blind kittens without even having a chance to scout the map? And is that truly Honorable? I personally don't know what "tried-and-tested" maps you want to give us, but I haven't played Heroes III in a long time and I think I've never laid eyes on your maps. Therefore, if such maps are used, then in order not to violate the game rules and not to scout the map, I will simply refuse to participate in the tournament!
As a suggestion, I see three ways out:
1) All maps will be created by the organizers specifically for the tournament from random maps.
2) Players will be provided with the map file so they can see what is where (ignoring the slight advantage of those who have played such maps N times and know how best to play on them)
3) Allow map scouting by the rules.
Moreover, the first point still doesn't quite correspond to honor, since the organizers are participating in the tournament, and they will know what the map looks like...
Sorry if I'm being harsh, but IMHO this point could very strongly come into conflict with the spirit of the tournament!
I want to emphasize once again that what bothers me even more is not the organizers' knowledge of the maps, but the introduction of "tried-and-tested" maps that some have played many times, while others have never played at all...
