Posts from New Year's Duel Tournaments. Regulations, Rules.Auto-translated
The first player chooses a Castle for themselves and names three (or four – we need to think about this) Castles against which they are willing to play with their Castle. The second player chooses from the proposed options. Then they switch.
Let's stick to four, if necessary.
Second option.Primus
For each of the two players, a list of all available starting factions on the map is written. In total, there are 2*8=16 positions. After that, the players take turns crossing them out until each list has only one uncrossed faction – these will be the factions they play. At the same time, you can cross out both "bad" factions from your list and "good" factions from the opponent's list. The sequence of crossing out is as follows: 1-2-2-...-2-1 (that is, the first player crosses out one position, then the second – two, the first – two, ..., the second – one).
Third option.
Each player takes turns crossing out a Castle until only 4 remain.
Many thanks and triple honors to Lord Vampire for inspiring me to write the third option!!! Oh Lord! You are a genius! And of course, thank you to everyone from whom I so shamelessly "borrowed" the ideas:smile36:
It is also possible to assign a separate method for each stage All suggestions are welcome. The choice of method will be made by midnight on 01/10/09. If necessary, I will make the decision myself.:smile04:

Who will give it to you themselves?))) As we can see, the first draft for the first stage isn't suitable, as it only includes one battle with a Cherk. So, either the second or a super-genius third option:) of course, I'm for the third option))) and regarding being a genius, yes, I am))))))))) for the playoffs, option 1 can be used. And option 2 can be saved for dessert. That is, for the final and the battle for 3rd place;)

Quote:If two players claiming a ticket to the second stage end up with an equal number of points, then an additional battle is held between them.
I would replace it with: ... points, the result of qualifying for the next stage is determined by the games played between them. (Everyone against everyone three games, no draws possible, that way there's an order of magnitude less hassle)
The first player chooses one of the castles. Then the second player. Therefore, 2 castles are inactive. You can leave 3 castles... or 5... or even all 8... but I personally stopped at 4; if you don't like it, suggest how many can be left. :)

Hmm... let me think... I'm still in favor of resolving controversial situations through gameplay; if there's so much randomness here, it could have just been bad luck in a head-to-head match. ;) But I might change it.

Since there is only 1 turn, the first player has an advantage, and I didn't really like the 3rd option; the 2nd option is more balanced. I'm for the 2nd option.
Regarding the third option, shouldn't we just keep marking until only 2 Castles remain? That way, there will be one marked Castle, and everything will be fine.

I understand that we have decided on the specifics of how the games will be conducted; the second option is indeed the most balanced. As for the draft, my opinion is that the second option (a quote from Primus) is the most optimal and, most importantly, has been proven in practice. This scheme was used for the drafts in the last two online tournaments, and no participants expressed any complaints about someone being in a better situation because they drafted first or second.
Well, here it is :) I'm not that much of a genius after all :) And what's the difference between the second and third game? Is it that you can create your own factions and have two of them?

how will the winner be determined if the battle ends in a draw, with all units on the battlefield destroyed, or if the hero only has undead units remaining at the end of the battle?
Everything has been added to the first post. Those who were so eager to start competing with each other can now begin. I will finish the rest this evening; I probably won't bother you with any more questions.

Ah, yes. What about the situation when two identical factions are randomly selected? In that case, the mirror match wouldn't make sense, right? Should you immediately restart the game or make the second battle also random?
