"Three-Wheeled Bicycle" Tournament

Tournament "Three-Wheeled Bicycle"

Another cool idea for a tournament has emerged. But who knows, maybe there will be fans of perversions and new sensations?

The games are played with three players on a modified Jebus Cross template for three players (one zone has been removed, and the sizes have been changed).

Settings: L-U, 160%, 4 minutes

Tournament system: Double Elimination. The first player to surrender or lose out of the three is eliminated from the tournament. The second loser goes to the lower bracket. In the end, 3 players remain - the winner of the winners' bracket, the winner of the losers' bracket, and the player who took 2nd place in the losers' bracket final. The final match is played among them. This system requires a number of players equal to 3^n, i.e., 9 or 27.

I think playing by these rules is quite interesting, as the optimal strategy becomes much less obvious. (For example, is it more beneficial to fight for control of the central treasure, or to sit back and watch the opponents fight and kill each other?)
