But you were the one who asked for clarifications regarding a "specific rule." Now you're complaining that there's too much text?
Terms that never caused problems for experienced players are unclear to newcomers. The majority of questions come from newcomers, and they understand the rules better than many of the "pros."
Also, at your request, I added screenshots illustrating the rules. Now do you think they're unnecessary?
Previously, there were rules for 2v4d3 in the season and differences for other templates and tournaments,
Yes, and there were many requests to first create general rules and then rules for specific templates. I did that, and it took me 3 weeks. And now it's still not good. I won't redo it.
Also, I would put the rating calculation, report format, and individual templates under spoilers – it would be much more ergonomic.
Well, maybe you'll take over managing the season then? Today, I came to the forum at 7 am and answered questions in ICQ until 11 am. And as the rating administrator, it's important to me that people submit reports according to the template. I don't want to rewrite hundreds of reports and chase after everyone. When I started including the report format in all the topics, the percentage of incorrectly written reports decreased. Therefore, I won't hide anything that isn't interesting to you personally.

I can't please everyone. Everyone has their own suggestions and believes that their suggestions are the best and most reasonable. I have to think long and hard and analyze everything that all the players write, not only on the forum but also in private messages. I have a separate text file with various suggestions – it's already 20 pages long.
Add – subtract, cancel – introduce, simplify – complicate... There are as many opinions as there are people.

And that's despite the fact that, as a player, I personally don't really care what rules we play by.
