Why bother? Vitaly has already suggested a clear option: everyone plays each other in a round-robin format, we count the points, and award 1st and 2nd place. The only thing I would ban is draws, so there isn't a situation where a draw suits both players (because I'll be the first to agree!).

I see one major drawback in this system...

I have to agree, with this system there will be at least a few unnecessary games. I vote for bo5 semifinal series then bo5 finals. If that works for you, let me know.

The "Illumination" format has a drawback: the luckiest player will win. In the game, this aspect is somewhat balanced when everyone plays against everyone else. And here's another suggestion to further level the playing field: play without prisons and scouts in scouting. That would make it more interesting.

Dave's suggestion involves fewer games, and the chances of easily making it to the top 2 are higher. "Illumination" is, let's say, an average option. Although I also agree that we should play "everyone against everyone." They say there will be a number of insignificant games. I don't think so; the players and the level of competition here are too high to play carelessly. Personally, even if I lost 2 games and lost all chances of winning prizes, I would play the 3rd game with full dedication, just for the sake of prestige.

Regarding dungeons – I'm for it. Regarding scouts – I'm against it because then you would also have to ban specialists with 4th-level magic, and so on.

You just didn't find Beatrice at level 30 appealing... in the center. But I did! And I didn't even need to buy more heroes to scout. This immediately destroys all notions about the Zekral, when some noob from Castle with useless skills shows up there.

Overall, this thread is turning into nonsense... let me propose my version - a tournament for HotA, h3dm and MT Jebus Cross, each player plays 1 game on each template against every other player, prisons banned. Entry fee - 2000-3000 rubles per person. The winner gets 66%, 2nd place gets 33%. If we get 5 or more people, I'll create a proper thread.
