The Final Battle 7

Imagine if the organizers told chess players before a round: "Today you will be playing the Alekhine Defense." :)

Here, imagine that I played in such a tournament.

A full-fledged tournament should have a variety of templates, and the templates and factions should be chosen by the participants themselves.

No one owes anyone anything, understand. In this OFB-FB tournament, my position was that the most versatile players should advance to the final, players who can play on all templates and with all factions, and not just "Castle-Swamp on Jebus." And this concept fits perfectly with the idea of Best. Perhaps I went a little too far somewhere, but I always take my mistakes into account.

The portal had a good system:
1-5 advance to the next round, 6-7 playoffs, 8-10 elimination.

This is a bad system. As a result, the lineup for the next tournament consists of almost the same people who played in the previous tournament, and as a result, people get tired of playing with the same people, so the tournament eventually fizzled out.

In general, Yura is right, we need to come up with some kind of bonuses for 4th-5th place. I'll think about it.

Players just have to show some respect to the other players when they join.
