We have allocated enough time for the games, and we will not extend the deadlines. Regarding the unfinished matches – it’s not fair to make everyone wait for two weeks while they play among themselves. Those who find themselves in this situation are responsible; they should have won their games in the main stage.

:eek:
-since this is a significant change to the rules of this tournament, I suggest that this point is adopted only if at least 51 percent of the tournament participants agree with it.
Therefore, I suggest extending the group tournament time by 7-10 days (there won't be that many games anyway), starting on November 3, 2009.

Specify in the rules what to do in case of a tie in points within a group, so that it does not contradict the original rules of the tournament.
I strongly disagree with such a change to the tournament rules.
Playing on an RTA map is almost like playing poker: 60% skill, 40% luck.

Tactics is a completely different kind of game for heroes, and you need to know how to play it... and the tournament on the league is held for such people..
What is being proposed now is similar to forcing football teams, for example, to play volleyball if they have an equal number of points in the group:smile07: Why not? It's still a game with a ball...;)

This will be done not just when the scores are equal, but when the scores are equal and the game is played in a round-robin format, as I wrote. If the scores are equal, then the winner is initially determined by the results of the head-to-head match.
P.S. In football, there is a penalty shootout if it is impossible to determine the winner - consider this not quite football, and luck plays a big role...

Fifth: during the tournament, and not only, I concluded that playing on large maps is also a kind of gamble, and luck plays a far from insignificant role in it.

RTA is a simplified version of the game on a map, although there is no opportunity to lose to neutrals there; and the opponent will not suddenly appear in the Castle from the portal:mad: There is an opportunity to choose, at least from two heroes, there is a tent with artifacts, there are troops (balanced), there is an opportunity to calmly level up your hero to level 20. In principle, there is almost everything that would allow you to use your own experience to play the game! I agree that relatively unbalanced pairs may appear, but it is also determined that the second game will be played in reverse from the first, in principle, you can even hold a draft so that the players can influence which races they play, for goodness sake!

These are two completely different sports, although they are both associated with a ball, by the way, it is also different. If we suggested settling the dispute, for example, with the help of Warcraft, then your irony would be clear to me, but as it is, it's off.
