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

What Noom said: Round 1 is a pure Swiss system, from round 2 it's a Swiss system with the elimination of players who have lost twice.
In a pure Swiss system, there will be no elimination; we just need to determine the number of rounds.
I'm fine with this option too...

I'm in favor of this tournament format: a pure Swiss system, with more than 9 players; otherwise, a round-robin tournament. I've already written my rules.

P.S.: Kirill, maybe you should stop torturing yourself? The player correctly stated that the rules should be written first, then registration. Otherwise, we can discuss it endlessly. Noom can't participate; it's a pity, but what can you do? Vip, Igrok, and Vitaly don't want to participate in the tournament according to the written rules – that's their choice; we'll do it without them. Even if only 6-7 people remain. At least we'll be playing, instead of complaining that something is wrong.
