Please register me for the tournament. 346-047-955

ps: Considering that after all the restarts, there is a possibility of a completely unplayable map appearing, is there a possibility of generating pre-balanced maps created by the tournament organizers? This would eliminate scenarios where a weaker player wins against a stronger player purely due to the map layout.
Here's an example of what could happen:
1) One player has 1 road to the main castle and a 3-4 day detour on an unpaved road to the road leading to the opponent.
2) The other player has 3 secondary castles.
I had such a map yesterday. With this layout, even with a slight advantage in skill, it is impossible for the first player to win.
Pre-balanced maps can be uploaded directly to the website before the battle, of course, this requires the presence of 2 players and the organizer. With this arrangement, the strongest player will truly be determined. Random victories will be eliminated.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

1) In the past, 28 people participated in the novice tournament, i.e., there were (6+5+4+3+2+1)*4+4+2+2=92 games

2) Considering that some players are not yet able to identify playable matchups, and others will take the opportunity to create an overpowered setup for themselves, there may be 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36 possible castle matchups.

3) Generating several maps of one type (taking into account possible restarts, frequently used heroes ending up in jail, flawed generation, etc.) will take at least 1 hour.

4) In total, we have 92*36*1 = 3312 hours of the organizer's personal time.
Let's assume I can spend 5 hours a day on this noble cause...
3312/5= 662.4 days, i.e., 2 years

I hope I explained it clearly enough :)

In general: you have 2 legal restarts to understand that the map is bad. Use them wisely. Of course, if you are looking for an easy win, you risk getting a bad outcome. Plus, there is also restart 116, which can be achieved in almost 50% of cases.

Correct behavior during the map selection and restarts is also part of the skill
