1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

I wanted to improve upon what existed, not follow the principle of the SOVIET UNION: Break it down and build it anew!

The principle of the Soviet Union wasn't like that; it was: "Workers of all countries, unite!" And it was the democrats who broke everything down. And it seems they have no intention of building anything new.
But that's not what we're talking about. From your emotional message, I've identified two things:
1. We should commend the player "Ta Kotoraya..." for their courage, and perhaps others as well.
2. We need to catch up with and surpass other portals.

Participation, but I could only award the MEDAL OF VALOR to one participant... that's "Ta Kotoraya..."

It wouldn't be a bad idea to base your ideas on the experience of other portals, promote these ideas, modernize them, and create your own unique PRODUCT.
Prorock.

But let's be more specific, especially regarding the upcoming 3v3 tournament.
1. Create certificates for each participant in this tournament. The prize certificates should be original. The rest can be the same (I suggested an option above). This way, each participant will have a memento of this tournament, even those who finish last. Moreover, in this case, you have the opportunity to highlight something special about each player on the certificate, such as "Ta Kotoraya..." for courage, someone else for a good description, etc. The value of the certificates for the top three places will not be diminished.
2. I suggest playing on the medium difficulty level to avoid discouraging weaker players.
3. I will write to you privately (to Prorock and VDV) about the rating system you have adopted, a little later.
