Dear forum members,
The Tournaments topic was opened on August 2nd; it initially contained the following provision:
"In the group stage, players will play one game on each of the templates." This is my idea, and some experienced forum players are not refusing to assist in its implementation. During registration, only one person expressed dissatisfaction, which served as a basis for voting in the topic. As can be seen from its results, most supported these changes. Therefore, before the start of the tournament, this provision did not change.
Regarding Hota – my message #12 in this topic from August 2nd; during registration, no one raised objections. Initially, there was no point about Hota in the regulations, but the players themselves asked to add it. The voting results were in favor of Hota.
The first tournament on Hota was held in March 2015; therefore, using this version in previous Новичок tournaments was simply impossible; now, it is relevant.
Regarding your objections in the tournament topic after its start: this is nothing more than spam; participants may not notice informational messages regarding the tournament; therefore, I ask you to stop. If you have any objections, please contact the АК (Administration Committee).
The tournament regulations contain the following provision: "The Regulations and Rules for conducting the tournament will not be changed during the tournament." The tournament has started; the participants did not express any objections to the rules; therefore, I will not change them on my own initiative. If the members of the АК decide that the new features are unnecessary, I will make the necessary changes at their direction.
I would like to add that any changes can be either positive or negative, but until they are tried out, it is not worth drawing conclusions. During the Novichok winter-2015 tournament, it was already suggested to hold a Novichok tournament once a year. If everything remains as it is and nothing new is tried, which will primarily be interesting for its participants, the Novichok tournament – an official regular one – will become a tournament that used to be on ХВ.
Having a desire to make changes to the REGULAR ХВ Novichok tournament and not having the opportunity to make changes (lack of time) in the standard way - discussion, voting, making changes, it was necessary to enlist the support of at least most of the members of the Administration Committee; otherwise, this is an adventure. Holding a tournament on Hota is something else entirely. That is, on a site where ALL tournaments are held on SoD (Hota or VT were only played by mutual agreement between both players), beginners play on Hota? There should be SoD available upon request from at least one opponent.
I am writing to the АК with a request to investigate and, until a decision is made by the АК, I believe that starting the group stage tournament is IMPOSSIBLE!
Весна 2013.
