Group stage.
The group tables and colors are in the second post of the thread, along with brief explanations. The group stage lasts for a month, until January 31st. There will be 4 games. 16 players will advance to the playoffs. For any questions, please contact me via ICQ or here. Post your reports here as well.
I would like to draw your attention to some important points:
1. Properly format the report header (there is an example of formatting in the Rules; if something is unclear, you can ask). I strongly urge you to write the nicknames exactly as they appear in the tables, no matter how complex or beautiful they may be – shortening or altering them is strictly prohibited! The easiest way to avoid mistakes is well-known: ctrl+C / ctrl+V
2. Try to treat your opponent with due respect, even if you don't want to for some reason. This is just a game, but chivalry and honesty are valued in this game as much as cunning and skill.
3. Don't forget to make daily saves. Remember that they are necessary in case of an unforeseen controversial situation.
Good luck to everyone and may you have exciting battles
