I can't find the "New Report" button.

The tournament start date was set to August 22nd. I've corrected it. Regarding the controversy in the tournament: HotA has been added as an optional version, and if both players agree, I don't see any problems with that. Regarding templates: It's like in the army – if we served for 3 years, why should you only serve for 2? And why should you serve for only 1 year? I initially thought it was about tradition and so on, but then I changed my perspective. Now, most newcomers come from streams because they enjoy what's happening. It just so happens that you rarely see 2sm4d(3) on any stream these days, and not in tournaments either. The fact is, CM is losing its popularity, whether that's good or bad. I personally find this template repulsive. Therefore, it's logical that trends change, and the tournament rules should also evolve, so I'm generally in favor of introducing a draft. The other question is: which templates should be included in the pool? But that needs to be considered during the process of creating the rules for regular tournaments.

Regarding different templates, I think that overall it's not a good thing; it's better for a beginner to play just one. This is important, for example, so that they don't get confused with the rules when they have little experience. But I highly doubt that this one template should remain CM.

Overall, I agree; I think we can even leave 3 templates for the draft in the group stage.
