Let's organize a tournament.

But do newcomers even know what TE is? If it's not played in tournaments, how will they know how to play it? They're not excelling in the game as it is, and introducing an unfamiliar mod will just confuse them even more...
That's one thing.

If the goal is to learn TE, then introducing this "virus" (in my opinion, any idea that deviates from the original is an additional "infection" for the brain) is fine. In that case, everyone should play on TE, and it would become a kind of qualification for upcoming major tournaments specifically on TE. But even then, it's necessary to bring in players from previous TE tournaments to help the "lower-ranked" players.
That's another thing.

Therefore, the main thing is to decide what the purpose of the tournament is. If the goal is to identify a winner, use the original version. If the goal is to train players for future, higher-level tournaments, use TE.

Too bad Offa isn't here.
