Yes, there are regulations, but aren't there more dynamic templates than Panic? I'm sure there are many, and if the goal is to surprise with templates and their selection, then go ahead and surprise! ;) The same goes for the "Christmas Tree" – I hadn't even heard of it; it's finally being implemented. Spider, Minotaur – even though they might be criticized as templates, they are still viable. What makes Panic so interesting from a gameplay perspective that it absolutely needs to be included? Is it completely unknown to us? Are there any new strategies involved? The Tournament is good, and the goal is worthy; I would like to participate in such an event again. However, besides the selection of templates, the tournament motivation has completely disappeared.
I wrote all this to say that Dirty took on the responsibility of running the Facebook group (you might not believe it, but there are very few people willing to run tournaments these days) and decided to diversify the tournament format a bit – this is a big plus, and he deserves respect for it! This format, if I'm not mistaken, was announced from the beginning, and no one seemed to object when they submitted their applications, nor did they ask what exactly they needed to play, even though it was clear that in the Swiss system, they would have to play many templates, not just SMK, Jebus, and 8mm6.
And now, Nadir is complaining, saying that they didn't expect this. It's ridiculous. Just turn off your auto-checkers and read the rules.
