Play-Off
The tournament system is Full Double Elimination. Losers in the upper bracket move to the lower bracket, where the games are played until elimination.
Rules.
Games are played until 2 wins. The time limit for one round is 2 weeks.
The colors in the bracket are for the first game.
The map is chosen by picking from the list: 2sm4d(3), 8mm6a, Jebus Cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Panic.
The blue player starts the selection process.
Blue indicates the player who starts picking the castles, and red indicates the player who chooses the color.
In the second game, the players switch colors. The map and castles are picked again.
If the result is a tie (1-1) or a tie in one of the games, a third game is played on the 2SM4d(3) map. Castles are random. In the third game, the colors are the same as in the first game for the first generation. Then the colors switch after each subjective restart.
If neither player wins 2 games, the series continues, and subsequent games are played similarly to the third game - map 2SM4d(3), random castles, color switch in the first generation and after each subjective restart.
Does everyone know how to pick maps?
Ask any questions about the rules now. What is unclear?
Players who take first place receive a small bonus in the first round - the red color.
It could have been written like this:
Players who take first place give their opponent a small advantage in the first round - they play as red.
Or it could have been very simple:
Players who take first place receive the red color in the first round.
The fact is that with this regulation, there is practically no difference in color. Tanya and I thought about this for quite a while.
One of the significant advantages of the red color in our tournament in the first game is that blue starts picking the map. That is, red chooses from the remaining two. However, in the second game, the colors switch. And in the third game, the map is fixed.
You can read about other advantages and disadvantages in other topics. In our tournament, participants play with red and blue colors equally.
At one time, I was interested in the question of how decisive the color might be. I analyzed the statistics of tournaments on different maps. Experimentally, an approximate equality was obtained - a difference of 2-3%, sometimes in favor of blue, sometimes in favor of red.
