By the way, the total won't be 48.

There was a typo: 12-16-10-10, I've already corrected it.

Fireball, could you describe the battle with the rusty dragons, and also, could you provide a save file with this battle...?

The tactic is very simple: huddle in a corner, generate buffs so that the additional acid damage occurs less often, and wait for one lucky hit. That's it. The second rusty dragon is killed in online mode.

:) Fire, I understand that it's difficult to catch up with you in the overall standings of the Kanigam tournament, but still, why were you awarded 101 points for the eighth stage, when the rules state that you cannot receive more than 100 rating points for a stage? Was it a typo?

Fire, I understand that it's difficult to surpass you in the overall standings of the Kanighem tournament, but still, why were you awarded 101 points for the eighth stage, when the rules state that you cannot receive more than 100 rating points for a single stage? Was it a typo?

No, it wasn't a typo. The VK is calculated using the pure AlexeyPanka system, and it includes a bonus for progress compared to the first round, which I personally disagree with. Look at the 6th stage; Alex R received 106 points for it. However, the rules have been adopted and are not subject to discussion, except perhaps for next year. I hope that this bonus will not become decisive.

No, it's not a typo. The rating in the VK group is calculated using the pure AlexeyPanka system, which includes a bonus for progress compared to the first round, and I personally disagree with this. Look at stage 6; Alex R has 106 points for it. However, the rules have been adopted and are not subject to discussion, except perhaps for next year. I hope that this bonus will not become decisive.

Ah, I understand. So, the rating rules published by VDV are still in effect outside the framework of this year's Kanigema tournament, and the calculations for the Kanigema tournament itself are based on the AlexPank system this year. However, the overall rating for all games this year, including the Kanigema tournament and other official tournaments, will be calculated according to the rules published by VDV. I also agree with you that it would be better to calculate the rating using a single system for both the Kanigema tournament and other official tournaments next year. This will reduce the workload for the calculators and the confusion in the minds of the participants.

Ah, I understand now. So, the ranking rules published by VDV are still in effect outside of this year's Kanighem tournament, and the ranking for this year's Kanighem tournament is based on AlexPank's calculations. However, the overall ranking for all games this year, including the Kanighem tournament and other official tournaments, will be calculated according to the rules published by VDV. I also agree with you that it would be better to use a single ranking system for both the Kanighem tournament and other official tournaments next year. This would reduce the workload for the calculators and minimize confusion among the participants.

Yes, you are absolutely right. And I agree with you, gentlemen, regarding the bonus.
