You are confusing an online tournament with an offline tournament. What does it mean to play on equal terms once for an offline tournament? How will you check if a player has played the map once or a hundred times? That is, by urging everyone to play the map only once, are you perhaps planning to replay it three times yourself, thereby proposing to remove the equal conditions for everyone, which for an offline tournament sound like this: whoever wants and can replay it as many times as they want. Furthermore, I certainly agree that quantity can turn into quality, but not always, I suppose. However, that is why there is such a thing as map scouting in an offline tournament. In other words, this is an accelerated Walkthrough of the map using the map editor, cheat codes, and anything else you want. Based on this, you plan a clean Walkthrough of the map (here you can only use what the rules of the tournament allow). The better you do the scouting, the fewer times you will need to do a clean Walkthrough to improve the result. Ideally, it is possible that after scouting and completing a clean Walkthrough, you will not have to play the map again. Luck is, of course, also an important factor, but in an offline tournament, its influence is less than in an online tournament. This is what distinguishes these types of tournaments ;)
