1. How do you determine the order of template selection and castle choices based on the table?
2. How is the color determined in the game?
3. The template is chosen by crossing it out from the list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish (standard, with the HW_rules_mod patch and a difficulty of 200%, you can play a mirror match if both players want, Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in red in the table starts crossing out templates.
4. Castle selection... In this tournament, castle selection will be "optional," meaning there is no specific rule. If you want to play as Necropolis, feel free; if you want to play as Dungeon, go ahead. BUT... you cannot play with the same castle more than twice in the tournament (if this rule is violated, the player will be penalized; if it happens again, they will be disqualified).
The red player starts the castle selection. If the players want to play with the same castles, they must agree on who will play which castle. If they cannot agree, they will play with random heroes.
This point is not open for discussion; if it doesn't suit you, don't play.
