TeamViewer – live draw.
Все в ней нулево и кукольно.
The selection process is as follows: the player who is first in the pair starts the elimination. Eliminating 1 template costs 500 coins. At any time, you can refuse to eliminate (say "pass"), then the opponent eliminates as many templates from the set as they wish at the same rate, after which their opponent chooses a template from the remaining ones.
For example: Mee vs FireToSky
FireToSky starts eliminating:
mirror Jebus (additional template for Mee) - 500
Mee: - pass
FireToSky: -8xm12a - 500 coins
FireToSky: -8mm6a - 500 coins
Mee chooses a template from the remaining two, receiving a 1500 coin advantage.
Whose opponent (see the highlighted part) chooses the template?
How many templates can be eliminated at most? "As many as they wish" or no more than 3 in total?

I've made a slight adjustment. A player can discard all templates except one if the opponent forfeits.
It's logical to assume that the player who forfeits will ultimately choose the template.
What merits does a player who forfeits first and refuses to pay for discarding deserve to receive the free right to choose, or even an additional payment? Their opponent should have the right to pay to complete the discarding process. Otherwise, the purpose of such a system is unclear.
What merits should a player, who passes first and refuses to pay for the Cherk, receive to get a free choice, or even a bonus? Their opponent should have the right to complete the Cherk for a fee. Otherwise, the meaning of such a system is unclear.
It makes perfect sense: the second player can eliminate all three temples that are unfavorable to them and leave only two "preferred" temples for the first player to choose from. 1.5K for this is not too expensive. It only makes little sense when players specialize in the same thing, but in that case, the draw decides. There should be an element of chance in sports.
In general, for clarity, I suggest adding the following phrase to the rules (if it aligns with the organizer's intention):
"The drafting continues until 4 templates are eliminated or both players decline to continue drafting; in the latter case, the player who passes first chooses a template from the remaining ones."
It makes perfect sense: the second player can eliminate all three temples that are unfavorable to them and leave only two "preferred" ones for the first player to choose from. 1.5K for this isn't too expensive.
In general, this system of paying for a ban can only be justified to encourage players who are versatile and play different strategies, forcing players with a narrow specialization to pay for their chosen strategy. It's not meant to introduce unpredictability into the strategy selection process.
From this perspective, it makes sense to give the final choice of strategy to the player who pays for it.
This only makes sense when players specialize in the same thing, but in that case, the draw decides. There should be an element of chance in sports.
In this case, it's pointless to have any kind of ban when you can simply agree on a strategy beforehand.
Thank you for the game!
I don't know how Artem did it, but on the mirror map at turn 113, he was on my side: it seems like this should be prohibited. He didn't respond in chat or to calls. In short, it's up to the judge to decide.
Yes, in tournaments where they started playing this template, there was a rule: "On the 1st week, you cannot move to the other side, so there are no rematches due to this."
Here, this point is not reflected in the rules. But references to the host are inappropriate, because firstly, the players added this template themselves, and secondly, the host immediately warned that he is not familiar with the intricacies of mirror maps.
Therefore, it is necessary to either discuss such issues with the opponent before the game, or to ensure that everything is clearly stated in the rules at the beginning of the tournament. For example, the issue of shifted guards was also not always resolved unambiguously.
Cobra was most likely genuinely mistaken, intentionally moving to the other side at such an early stage of the game. I looked at the rules of the "Mirror for a Hero" tournament, where he is participating - there is also no mention of this in the rules.
If we approach this formally, in order not to continue the game, it would be logical to do a rematch, since there is also nothing said in the tournament rules about its absence. And then you can normally discuss the rules.
