Developing the regulations for OFB and FB tournaments.

Last year was a kind of experiment; they wanted to have one castle each, but people objected, and they ended up with something in between. I think the rating threshold of 1800 is quite absurd. For example, people put in some effort during a season and managed to get a rating of 1800 for a while (for registration purposes). Then, of course, the rating naturally dropped because it no longer reflects their actual strength, given that the pool of players between 1700 and 1800 is quite varied, and there are many strong players.
Also, the OFB (Official Fighting Battles) draw is completely random from the first round. If you're constantly talking about the rating, then at least make the draw for the first two rounds based on rating. And then allow the person with the highest rating to participate in the OFB. In the OFB, withdrawals are very decisive; don't come up with nonsense. Sometimes, a withdrawal decides everything for the top spots in the final rounds, but if your opponents withdraw, you practically have no chance.
Currently, the FB (Fighting Battles) also doesn't attract enough strong players due to the quota. And regarding the system, you could create 4 groups (16 players) that are balanced based on the same rating and their achievements. 8 players advance, and then, as always, a double-elimination bracket follows. That's where you can have best-of-3 and best-of-5 matches, etc.
