The_, what do you think about strengthening the concept of "home advantage"?
There are even more options than we've discussed so far. The player who has home advantage could be given the following rights:
1) Choose a map template (or gain an advantage during the map selection process - for example, by having a way to influence the selection, like choosing 5 out of 3 options).
2) Choose the color.
3) Be the first to place starting units/choose a castle/castles.
4) Choose the time limit, including a chess clock (but, for example, not lower than the time limits specified for the templates in the tournament regulations).
Of course, this needs to be handled carefully, because a rigid choice of map template combined with the right to choose castles first could be overpowered in skilled hands.
But giving additional opportunities to compete on their home turf against a top player is also interesting; this is also part of the Champions League.
