M-200% No. 7

The question regarding the chess timer is almost resolved :) I am very pleased with the community's agreement on this matter. As for the fastest tournament and turns lasting 30 minutes, well, you know what I mean... the only question is which chess timer to choose. Regarding restarts, various opinions have been expressed (increasing or decreasing them). Previously, it was always 112 + restarts based on mirror matches + restarts due to the lack of a path to the secondary resource (on balance) + restarts due to blocked paths. Personally, I think this is quite sufficient, as the guards are very weak, and it is almost always possible to find an advantage in other areas. Of course, if you have a bare respawn point and only archers with griffin fakes as guards, and you start with a pikeman and a pot on your head (you monster ;peka:), then you didn't restart properly and should have acted more carefully. However, on the other hand, restarts on M-200 take very little time. In general, the question remains open. External market. The eternal question =))) This time, it will most likely be banned by default, but you can play with it by mutual agreement. Regarding starting with 2500 gold. The question has been written to Baratorch, and I hope he will answer soon. Also, the question of the tournament duration is interesting. A little history. The first tournament was played with 16 players, and the tournament lasted 2 days - in the end, there were no withdrawals, as I kicked everyone's butt. The second tournament was already with 32 players, and the tournament lasted 3 days; there were withdrawals, mistakes, etc. Then, the number of participants exceeded 64, and the duration of the tournament in the losers' bracket was also 3 days. Naturally, there were withdrawals, unfinished games, and technical issues. So, I am leaning towards 3-4 days for the tournament in the losers' bracket. 4 days can be considered a bonus for the summer. Everyone needs to rest, but we also don't want to delay the tournament. And finally, I'm flying on vacation tomorrow, but I will basically have internet access, I don't promise that I will answer, but I think I can guide the discussion in the right direction. When I return (in 12 days), I will open the registration, and as they say, we will reveal our strategies and go into battle. All the best :kawai:
