Greetings!
I AM BACK, I hope you didn't wait too long!!!:)
My opinion is as follows - THE VALUE OF ANYTHING IS DETERMINED BY BOTH ITS QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INDICATORS!
Of course, given the lack of resources of our Tournaments participants - the idea of awarding 5 nominations across 5 difficulty levels TURNS OUT to be misplaced.
If we had about 50 people (i.e., 10 people per slot) - then this tournament would have been a completely INNOVATIVE step! Each participant would have SIMULTANEOUSLY had a greater chance of winning (it wouldn't be 50 people per slot, but 10) and NEVERTHELESS felt the true spirit of a tournament and COMPETITION!
I believe VDV forever wanted to take exactly that step.
Considering that 17 people have signed up - I can say with FULL CONFIDENCE (100%) that NOT EVERYONE will make it to the end.
Which means the purpose of such a large-scale TOURNAMENT is lost.
We aren't reaching the numbers yet...:(
And based on the lack of the quantitative indicator, it is in our power to correct it with QUALITY!
To be honest, I didn't initially dare to completely dismantle VDV forever's concept with 5 nominations, although I understood that it would indeed turn out to be INCOHERENT in many ways, and hardly like a tournament - MORE like a distribution of consolation PRIZES!:):):)
I am a practitioner and an experimenter by nature, so I didn't jump into criticism, but simply decided to make it slightly more COMPETITIVE - and avoid a situation where only 1 person is represented in a nomination.
THAT WAS EXACTLY WHERE MY IDEA WAS AIMED!
I wanted to take what we had and make it better, rather than following the SOVIET UNION principle: break it and build it ANEW!
The main goal VDV forever set for himself was to create a large-scale and comprehensive (ANNUAL) tournament.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ORGANIZING A TOURNAMENT OF SUCH AMBITION on our forum is simply impossible right now!
Most forum participants do not take TOURNAMENTS seriously.
If the thought of the many PROBLEMS we might face has finally reached the consciousness of many of our objective participants - THEN THAT ONLY PLEASES ME!
We will solve them now, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE WILL SOLVE THEM TOGETHER!!!
Regarding the difficulty LEVEL - I can give you MEN an example that will make you all feel ASHAMED!!!
As is known, all tournaments are often held on the hardest level. And many established players could have taken part in them, BUT there was only one participant I could distinguish with a medal of COURAGE... that is "Ta Kotoraya..."
Despite the fact that she, as she admits herself, plays "not very well" - she is still worthy, alongside the PROS, and tries to participate in many tournaments... knowing that she won't win, and knowing that it WILL NOT be easy... and maps always at 200%!
I WOULD DISTINGUISH and REWARD HER FOR THAT ALONE!
SHE IS A VERY ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, unlike many!!!
VDV forever wanted the best - but he really went too far (BUT WE APPRECIATE ALL THIS!!!), not noticing that there are 2 big problems on the forum - which serve as a barrier for its participants.
As already mentioned, these are:
1. A Final and Unified Rating System.
2. A clear and organized tournament schedule.
I will not describe these points in detail, as they have already been mentioned more than once...:(:(:(
If you want, we can raise these issues again - AFTER ALL, THIS CONCERNS BOTH THE WHOLE FORUM AND EACH OF US INDIVIDUALLY!
In any case, I can say with confidence that these 2 problems will be SOLVED no matter what (because we can't get anywhere without them!!!)... it's only a matter of time - AND THAT DEPENDS LARGELY, FIRST AND FOREMOST, ON US!!!
WE CREATE THIS FORUM, ITS LIFE AND CULTURE WITH OUR OWN HANDS! AND IT IS IN OUR HANDS TO MAKE IT WORTHY AND, IN MANY ASPECTS, THE BEST!!!
It is not shameful to rely on the experience of other portals for your ideas, to promote these ideas, modernize them, and obtain your own creative PRODUCT.
