Once again, regarding the maps. For half of the participants, the tournament will last for two days. In case of a delay in one match, not two pairs can start playing (as might seem logical to those with little experience in running tournaments), but only one. Some of the matches, especially those involving the undisputed favorite of the tournament, Dust, may take place on May 3rd and 4th. And no one prevents the opponents in these matches from agreeing to play on any maps, including the ones mentioned above. Thus, at least two matches can be played on 7 Lakes, Winterland, etc.
Regarding diplomacy and other ways of joining forces. This is our first, and possibly the only, tournament. Its legitimacy largely depends on the Rules. Therefore, the Rules must be identical to those that have been refined over the years on the best websites. The current rules were written by the main favorite of the tournament, Dust, in 2008. The only change to them is the ban on the Sphere of Anti-Magic.
Regarding changes to the rules, I would like to remind you that, by mutual agreement, participants can play according to any rules. So, everything is in the hands of the opponents.
Regarding the AI races, I will join the opinion of the majority. I see a compromise as follows: "The AI races are determined by mutual agreement between the opponents. If no agreement is reached, the AI races are not chosen (random)."
