Well, the Clan War has ended; those who haven't read it can check out the results here:
/topic/4308/
The tournament was generally successful, but there were some drawbacks, the main one being a severe shortage of players – we didn’t have enough for 8 teams. This happened because many players don’t join clans and even don’t want to join them.
It so happens that our forum has two groups of people. The first includes a significant number of long-time members for whom the words “clan,” “Clan War,” and “Grail” are pleasing to the ear. They built up the reputation of the forum, so they treat new developments on the forum with caution. They respect the traditions of the forum.
The other group doesn’t join clans, doesn’t understand the clan movement, and doesn’t want to understand it. They are only interested in the competitive aspect of the forum, playing against opponents. And this is not just new people on the forum, but also part of the old guard.
Based on the interests of both groups of players, striving to involve the best forces of our resource, I propose a project for a new team tournament.
In the first division, clans and players who are members of these clans will play.
For example:
1. "Homo Homini".
2. "E pluribus unum".
3. "Order of the Phoenix".
4. "The Guardians of Illiar".
Perhaps we can put together a СНК (Council of Northern Kingdoms) team. The clans included in this alliance experienced a severe shortage of players, but they are quite capable of putting together one competitive, fully staffed team. Maybe others will join too. If there are 5 teams, that would be good. Clans will compete for the championship in a round-robin system. The two best teams advance to the next round.
In the other division, the principle of forming teams is somewhat different – based on territorial affiliation. We could have teams from St. Petersburg, Moscow, the Tambov region, Ukraine, made up of strong players from the forum.
Another couple of teams could be formed from players who don’t belong to major Heroes centers, mixed teams. Although if these teams include such players as Invisible, Decontaminator, or Loy, they can give any top team a run for their money. In general, if we get 5 teams in this division as well, it will be great.
They also play each other in a round-robin system, after which the two best teams advance to the next round.
As a result, two teams from each division go to the final tournament. Then it's simple: semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals play in the final.
This way, we can take into account the interests of different groups of players while preserving the traditions of the forum, its clan structure, and the interests of tournament players.
Now about the timing. Initially, I wanted to suggest October-November of this year. But people are suggesting starting already in May.
The Clan War has ended, Loy’s tournament has ended, and a couple more tournaments are ending. Summer shouldn’t bother the players. Not everyone goes on vacation in June; many will stay home. If someone does leave, we can make a replacement with a new player or a player from an already eliminated team. After all, we are gathering the best players from the resource, serious people; we will come to an agreement.
Rules – standard for random games.
That’s all for now; I’m listening to your suggestions. I welcome any help in preparing this tournament. I hope for the help of clan leaders, СНК, and just initiative-minded people.
