One for all, and all for one!

The following changes have been made to the regulations:

4. Regulations:

Stage 1: Group stage - In the tables, the color is used for the first games, and in the second games, the team colors are switched. - Games in the groups are played in a round-robin system in 2 rounds (each team plays each other twice). - 12 days per game. - The top 2 teams advance to the next round. - The main criterion for advancing from the group is the number of points scored (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss). If several teams have the same number of points, the following additional criteria apply (in order of priority):

a) Head-to-head record between the teams. b) Total number of wins. c) Head-to-head record between the team captains. d) Total number of wins with the blue color. e) Berger coefficient. f) An additional game between the team captains on the balance map, M - 200%, 4 minutes. g) Random draw.

Stage 2: Olympic-style playoffs Games are played until 2 team wins, and the loser is eliminated from the tournament.

In the final, the teams play until 3 wins. If the players in the final have a strict time limit and there is no opportunity to play that many final games, they must inform the tournament organizer about this situation.

This was done to: firstly, ensure that everyone is on equal footing. secondly, to increase the number of games so that everyone can play a sufficient number of games before being eliminated in the group stage. Of course, this meant sacrificing the double elimination format in stage 2.

I will add the team emblems later.

Good luck to everyone in the games.

To Kilgor:

1) Can I play against opponents from multiple teams at the same time, naturally within my own group, or do I have to finish playing against one team before I can play against players from another?

You can play against anyone, as the number of games in the groups has been increased.

2) Regarding the selection of maps. What is the correct way to do it:

The correct way is: b) The opponent provides a choice: 8xm12 8xm8a diamond i.e., the opponent chooses the desired map from the group.
