Posts from Let's organize a tournament.

Proposed format:
1. A themed, race-based round-robin tournament for 16 players (I think there are roughly that many active and reasonably skilled players in the community).
2. Each participant plays only one pre-selected race throughout the tournament; mirror matches are excluded. A total of 2 players participate in the tournament for each race.
3. The race selection process is as follows: participants send a list of races ranked by preference to the judges. A total of the top 16 registered participants are selected based on their ranking on the portal. Participants with the lowest ranking on the portal have priority in race selection (results from tournaments this year can be taken into account). This way, 16 people are selected, each assigned to one race – the rest are backups.
4. Based on the results of the round-robin tournament, the strongest race is determined by the sum of the games played by the two players who played that race.
I look forward to your comments.
p.s.: Those who are not interested in this idea, please do not clutter the thread with your thoughts. ;)
So far, two people are interested: me and Noom.

I suggest that those who are interested in the idea of playing 7 games with one faction in a tournament with the TE mod should subscribe here. The tournament format and registration will be announced after November 17, depending on the number of interested participants.

Author, create a separate thread for this tournament; this thread is not quite about that, you seem to have gotten lost.
"Who is stronger" has ended, and in this regard, I propose we think about the next tournament. Proposed format:
1. A themed race round-robin tournament with 16 participants (I think there are approximately that many active, more or less skilled players in the community).
2. Each participant plays only one pre-selected race throughout the tournament; mirror matches are excluded. There will be 2 players for each race in the tournament.
3. The race selection is done as follows: participants send a list of races ranked by preference to the judges. The top 16 registered participants are selected based on their ranking on the portal. Participants with the lowest ranking on the portal have priority in race selection (results from tournaments this year can be taken into account). This way, 16 people are selected, each assigned to one race – the rest are backups.
4. Based on the results of the round-robin tournament, the strongest race is determined by the total number of games won by the two players who played that race.
I look forward to your comments.
I'm ready to participate if everything is okay.
8 people are enough – 1 person per race (each will have 7 games) – a kind of fun, themed blitz tournament.
The fact that some races will be dominant is irrelevant; it depends on skill and randomness, and you can "compare strengths" in the current league tournament.
Oh, the bait has been set :)

The fact that some factions will be stronger is not a big deal; it depends on skill and luck, and you can always "compare strengths" in the current tournament on the league.
By the way, Alex and I discussed it and reworked the formula – we’ll make an announcement this evening in a separate post for discussion and registration.
Eight people can gather without any official organizations, discuss everything among themselves, and have fun playing against each other. Let's not forget that the resource is publicly available, and discriminatory tournaments that restrict someone's participation for any reason are not right. In principle, this also applies to Nooma's idea to organize a tournament for exactly 16 people, taking into account the rating of a friendly, but not decisive, resource. Therefore, any suggestions for the structure of new tournaments are undoubtedly useful and needed, but I repeat, the tournaments should be publicly accessible.
What's wrong? Is there nothing wrong with the participation restriction in some of the 3s tournaments on this resource?

Overall, I like the idea of a tournament, an analogue of the favorites in 3s.

forgot to add that I only have a week available.
1. The proposal is to hold a team tournament with 8 teams, with 1 player per faction, similar to the format of a chess olympiad. Therefore, the number of participants must be a multiple of eight (8, 16, 24, or 32).
2. In each team, players receive a conditional number (first/second/third "board"). In a match between teams, the boards play against each other according to their number: first against first, second against second, and so on.
3. Team assignments should be based on personal preferences (each player, when submitting an application, sends a list of 8 factions, arranged in order of preference for participation in the tournament). During the draw, it is highly desirable that teams consist of players with different skill levels.
4. As a result, the tournament will consist of 7 rounds, regardless of the number of participants. The ranking in the tournament table will be based on the total results of the games.
This is approximately how it would work – in my opinion, it's a convenient format for a quick, themed tournament.
In short, Alex doesn't want to create a separate thread, so I'll write it here:

P.S. Maybe it would be better to consider options based on the actual number of participants, rather than trying to fit the number of participants to the tournament format.
P.P.S. Regarding my second question, I think it will be impossible to find a solution for Solomonov. That's why we had to abandon tournaments with a rigidly regulated format in favor of group stages with playoffs. I don't know, maybe you've already sent out an email to all interested parties; if not, it's better to do so. Some people don't visit the forums at all, or they visit very rarely, even though they have accounts here.
The answer was given - "there are enough" players to replace anyone.
