The main thing is that they don't start playing against each other. :rolleyes:

It would be interesting to have a challenge like this:
Any number of people register, all these players create new accounts and, starting from scratch, must reach a rating of, say, 1000+.
The first to reach the rating wins a prize.
And for all games, a report is written in this thread with a +/- points difference, so there is no cheating.
That would be interesting and competitive.

The following considerations stopped me:
1) No one will want to create second accounts and spread themselves thin.
2) Having 2 accounts creates the temptation to eventually transfer ratings.

Unknown players will not be accepted into the competition. And only demonstrably honest players will be accepted. Moreover, cheating is not profitable for another reason: in case of suspicion or hints, the organizer will not offer such a prize on a regular basis.

The idea is that everyone is already in the same conditions - some have already accumulated a rating, others have not. Skilled players must go through this path and fight for the TOP1. 3 prizes have been announced for the rest of the year. The time frame is sufficient. And it's not about the prize - it's a nice addition, but about making the TOP of the ladder more realistic (relevant to skill). This also applies to SOD.
But I specifically started with HotA so that there would be no bait - everyone knows that I don't play HotA myself. But most (if not all) of the TOP players I know play it.

What's the point of registering for this tournament? If Drakonin, who didn't register, ends up getting a higher score than FTS or Szopa666, will you not award him the prize because he didn't register?

As I understand it, the competition starts with participants using generic names, and from a certain point onwards, the competition for the prize is held only among these participants. That's how I understand it.

I invite Dima DD, Dirty, Frish, and Yar to help with organizational support as volunteers, with the status of Tournament Committee.

We could create an analogue of the SoD Facebook group if the sponsor is interested (for about 8 people).
Where the winners of the Heroes tournaments + a few top players from the Lobby would participate.
I think this would be more interesting and engaging than a head-to-head race in the lobby, where you can inflate your rating without playing against the top players...
And in the proposed option, the top players will battle each other in the final stage.

In the end, I didn't understand what the rules are, etc., but it's not important to me (there are only a few such players). I'm signing up.
