I am participating, of course. Although I'm not counting on victory.
But one question: how will Grails be counted? According to the old way, or will the system of the esteemed AmberSoler be adopted?
I will calculate the rating according to three systems (we'll decide later which is better):
1 - Iron Axe system (non-linear, depends on the result. There is no aging in this tournament);
2 - oscillator from AmberSoler (non-linear and linear components depending on place. There is no aging in this tournament);
3 - oscillator + bonus depending on the player's rank in the rating (my system).
But besides the tournament standings, rating points will also go into the portal's general standings!!!

Since neither the Esteemed AmberSoler nor anyone else has introduced obvious advantages over the existing system, I think they should be credited according to the old system, as everything is accounted for there!
Also, taking the old system into account, all associated prices for artifacts, magic, units, etc., are being considered and corrected where possible.
In the near future, all participants of the Best of the Best tournament will be credited with grails and points according to the system existing within the framework of the experiment.

Regarding the rating, I completely agree.

P.S. I think we should soon open a contest for the best map on www.heroesworld.ru for Heroes 3 for the year 2007!
