regular "Sergeant" tournament

The time allotted for the first test run has passed; everything is going smoothly, and we are ahead of schedule. There are no technical issues, and none are expected in the near future. Regarding the current situation: In the first group, a strong and well-matched lineup has emerged; no one has avoided defeat, and the competition is fierce. In the second group, Mizrael is emerging as a clear leader with 3 wins out of 3. In the third group, the "dark horses" (conditionally) are just starting to compete, and I predict that things will get very interesting. In other words, the main battle is yet to come. Regarding the award badges: I am reporting that there is active correspondence with Pete, and the designs have already been approved. The work is in progress. As a reminder, all changes and additions will be made in posts 1 and 2 (in blue).
