The Final Battle 9

I expected something interesting in the rules of the General Battle this year, but in reality - it's a standard Cradle with a standard choice of towns. Forget about the fuss over skirmish :D. Most likely, if skirmish, SMKA and anarchy are played at all, it will be in games that decide nothing =)
I had my own idea for the General Battle:
1) Establish a list of game templates for voting (no Mirror templates) (about 15+ of such popular templates).
2) Hold a closed vote among participants, where each player submits 9 templates they want to play in the tournament.
3) Based on the voting results, 9 templates that received the majority of votes are selected for the tournament. The voting result is published in the tournament thread.
4) A tournament bracket is formed, where everyone plays each other once, with a fixed color for the players.
5) A template is set for each round (the template is not repeated twice).
6) Based on the game round, the template for the round, and their color in the game, players submit to the organizer a list of towns for each game round (towns are not repeated). After receiving information from all players, this information is added to the tournament bracket.

I see this tournament as a battle of the strongest players of the last six months, who play on all templates with any towns.
This is just my IMHO, don't throw stones. Perhaps the option will appeal to the players and the AC and will be taken into account when forming the official tournament rules on the site.
