Everything is fine except for the Swiss system tournament. I participated in one on VKontakte, and in 4 out of 5 rounds, I was matched against weak players. As a result, I finished 5th out of 50, which seems unfair. If the draw keeps pitting strong players against each other, causing them to lose points, while repeatedly matching another player against weak opponents, wouldn't it be better to just use a simple bracket system? In a double-elimination bracket, losing two matches in the Swiss system can immediately ruin your chances of winning, and losing two matches in a bracket means you're eliminated.

I completely agree. I think 32 players will participate.

Okay, so I'll create a speed 2 (L-U) map, and I'll also rework the speed map using L-U. I'll prepare all the templates for 160%.

I'm always for 160%! Playing at 200% isn't as interesting because the outcome mainly depends on the random distribution – who gets 5k gold on the first day, and who gets just a pile of wood...

Okay, I changed my mind again, sorry.
I'm making all the templates in size 2, speed, and one more in sizes L-U and M-U.

Gaudin, Swiss system to the trash! What's so hard to understand about this perverted system? It should only be used in one case - when there are a lot of players and the number of games per player is high.

Why complicate things, just do a double-elimination bracket and let's go - IMHO, that's the "most heroic system".

I also vote for double elimination and 200%, in my opinion, it's the best system for a quick tournament.

double! definitely

okay.
Tournament format - double elimination.
Sizes and templates - since there are disagreements, then in the Cherk map, I think we need to make 2 templates, size m-u and size l-u, another template of both sizes.

Added 59 seconds ago
templates for l-u were provided by Javdet, and m-u by me.
Cherk will decide which size you will play on.

there are already enough tournaments for 160 players, but there are 200% fewer games, seasons, and fun events. Maybe we could have a vote: 200% or 160%?
playing at 200% has its pros and cons, but starting from scratch and adding randomness to it also has its appeal.

Will there be a group stage?

And what will the reward be?

200% or 160%?

I'm for 160%...

Summons to the military enlistment office.

Draft notice from the military enlistment office.

What about those who have already been there?

3 more templates.

Since the Swiss system received quick negative feedback and no one spoke out in its defense, I decided to listen to the more experienced comrades and changed the tournament format to Double Elimination.
The draw will be conducted randomly using the Tourney Master program.
In the main bracket, and then in the upper bracket, the first (top) player in the pair receives the red color, and the second (bottom) player in the pair receives the blue color.
In the lower bracket, it's the opposite.
Players will be placed in the brackets automatically, so there is no need to choose a color.
See the attached file

The procedure for the first-round draw will be shown live on February 22, 2012, at 20:00 Moscow time.
I hope to do a stream. If the stream doesn't work for technical reasons, Mikogo will.
Registration for the tournament will be open until 32 people have signed up.
If there are more applicants, they can be added to a waiting list.
I really hope that those who have already registered will not withdraw their applications :)
The deadline for playing in the main bracket (1/32) is until February 26, inclusive.
We will decide on the schedule later. But, I think, one week per stage (1/16, 1/8, etc.)
Approximately, we should finish by the end of March - beginning of April :)
I ask everyone to be organized and not let down their opponents

Regarding the templates used
I would especially like to note the players Javdet and PlayHeroes_HP, who worked very hard on these templates. Let's respect other people's work, friends, and hold the tournament without any incidents :)
A set of five templates:
1) Kite (l - u)
2) Cross (l - u)
3) Speed 1 (l - u)
4) Speed 1 (m - u)
5) Speed 2 (m - u)

The blue player will start the template selection.
In the case of a subjective restart, the color does not change.

Game difficulty - 160%

Reward - a medal for the avatar.
However, I haven't coordinated this with the administration yet, but knowledgeable people suggested that there shouldn't be any problems :)

What are your thoughts, friends? :)

The game's difficulty is 160%

Yay! :D
But overall, everything is fine, I'm curious where they'll put me.
