Is a fan-made balance training session necessary?

Here, the initial plan was to master Balance in order to prepare for international matches. This is a completely different task, in many ways the opposite of casual play.

I don't see any contradiction; the goal is being achieved... potential members of the future team (PMT) will naturally separate themselves (mainly based on points scored and their attitude towards the games).
Others will play for fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. Moreover, even if someone from the PMT plays casually, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be less prepared for the inter-resource competition.
The most traditional and common way of learning in any field is repeated engagement with the subject (with various local goals).
The first approach involves quickly covering the main points of the entire subject being studied... there are many examples, such as quickly reading a book.
The PMT goes through this stage even before the tournament starts, by studying the scheme, reading reports, and generating offline/online scenarios. Forcing everyone to do this is what constitutes the "circus"!

1. I vote for the 2nd scheme, "fan club," with the prospect of doing this for the main templates. After all, it is often seen in ICQ status or on Metroland: "I'll play Balance," "I'll play 8mm6 TE," "I'll play Panic":smile01:
2. I'm FOR "Chinese" rules:smile01:
3. a system of point counting, etc..."Purple":smile01:
