Discussion of the format and rules for the upcoming Third Tournament of Elements.

I will only play if it's a round-robin tournament with a strict adherence to the established format; otherwise, I'm out.

If that's the case, I'll also take a break until the new year. Kirill, please remove me from the list of participants.

OK.
I will always do it this way: I can't tell you what to do and what not to do.
I try to make everyone comfortable in the tournament, but it turns out that I'm the one to blame for even trying to organize a tournament among people who, as it turns out, don't even want to play...
It's unpleasant. :smile05:
Well, I'm not going to cancel the tournament.
In any case, by the end of the day, the final version of the tournament scheme and rules will be determined.
I ask that all registered participants express their opinion on the proposed tournament schemes within this timeframe:
- 1st option: Swiss system with the application of the Buchholz coefficient,
- 2nd option: full double-elimination system,
- 3rd option: a combination of the first two options.
Also, if necessary, notify the judges of your withdrawal from the tournament. If a registered participant does not declare their withdrawal from the tournament and simultaneously leaves it during the tournament, they will be excluded from the next official HoMM V: Tribes of the East 3.1 tournament (regardless of whether it will be with or without the use of the Tribes of the East expansion)
