Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online Heroes of Might and Magic III tournaments.

With a more balanced lineup in Favorites, there could have been a truly terrible situation where all five players in a group would have scored 2 points each...

And I also didn't like that out of 5 people, only 2 advanced. After losing the first two games, interest in the tournament and the games practically disappeared. And no one fought for 3rd place in the group anymore. Perhaps, it would have been better to send the first-place winners (8 people) directly to the final, and have transition games between 2nd and 3rd place. This would have smoothed out the difference in level between the groups a bit, and the players would have been more motivated.

Maybe some kind of MKU fix, like a "boomer," could be adapted for this?

And what should I do in Seasons? You can't just settle scores on Jebus, the arena, or a specific map...
If I can somehow attach a rating to Favorites, then that's completely irrelevant here...
