It's all because the rules don't clearly define what a "newbie" is. Who is a newbie? A player who has just started playing and doesn't yet know many of the tricks and nuances of the game, unlike an experienced player. In Heroes, all these tricks are about building money-generating structures, breaking through blockades, and moving around the map. Experienced players should be filtered out based on these categories. For example, taking a Consulate on day 150 in the second week – how experienced is a player who can do that? Essentially, this is the most significant element of the game.

If it's stated that it's a tournament for newbies, then newbies should be playing. Otherwise, the meaning of the name is lost, and the selection criteria become subjective. In short, take everyone and don't worry about it!))))))))))))))
