Posts from Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes. Auto-translated

It is still necessary to establish clear definitions: when a tournament will be considered rated. Therefore, I propose the following numbers:
Heroes 1 - 5 people.
Heroes 2 - 7 people.
Heroes 3 - 10 people.
Heroes 4 - 5 people.
Heroes 5 - 10 people.
For the third one, the limit could be raised even further, as it is the most popular part. Tournaments like these can already be considered rated; the representation will be quite sufficient.

We still need to establish clear definitions: when will a Tournaments be considered a ranked one? The proposed figures of 2-4 people (depending on the version) are clearly too small. For example: I organize a Tournaments. I don't inform anyone about it. I quickly prepare a starting save, even intentionally with flaws. Obviously, no one wants to play in such a Tournaments. But! I invite two or three friends, we play through this Tournaments together, and there you have it, a free ranking. This is not right. Therefore, I propose the following figures:
Heroes 1 - 5 people.
Heroes 2 - 7 people.
Heroes 3 - 10 people.
Heroes 4 - 5 people.
Heroes 5 - 10 people.
For the third game, the limit can be raised even higher, as it is the most popular part. These Tournaments can already be considered ranked, and the representation will be quite sufficient.

First of all, it is necessary to clearly separate OFFICIAL TOURNAMENTS – with prizes, ratings, and rules – from UNOFFICIAL, fan-made tournaments without taking all of this into account.

to VDV_forever: I agree with you, but with a small caveat...
In my opinion, fan tournaments should award rating points, provided that certain restrictions are observed, because if we don't award rating points, we might end up with no fan tournaments at all...
Sincerely.

I also support Kyle on this issue, with a slight reservation. In official tournaments, both rating and gameplay should be taken into account, regardless of the number of participants (even if only one person plays). And in fan tournaments, the number of participants should be taken into account to recognize this tournament as both a gameplay and rating event.

Thank you for your support.
I just don't think we should award Grail points for fan tournaments! Let that be the prerogative of official tournaments! Otherwise, they won't be distinguishable!
And official tournaments should be more significant...
Sincerely.

Fan tournaments are designed to train both novice players and novice organizers; they can also have a positive impact on various experiments.

Why, if a strong fan tournament is organized this month, can't we allocate Grail points to it? After all, Grail points are meant to reflect the activity of forum members in the life of the forum – that is, someone organized a tournament, someone played.

Let's remember why we need grails... We need them to build a "doll," and then the player uses this doll to compete in the "Best of the Best" tournament... The BB tournament is official, therefore grails should also be awarded from official tournaments! And the rating reflects the strength of players on the portal, therefore it should be awarded in both official and unofficial tournaments....
Respectfully.

Let's remember why Grails were initially given – not only for participation in official tournaments, but also for contributions to the portal, such as mapmaking for mapmakers, writing for content creators, and so on. Or am I wrong? If so, then participation in fan tournaments and their organizers should also be rewarded with Grails.

If Grails will be awarded ONLY for participation in official tournaments and for writing walkthroughs, and nothing else, then I FULLY agree with Kyle.
Otherwise, the suppression of fan tournaments is unfair.

In my opinion: Grails should only be awarded for Tournaments!

Let's define what distinguishes an official tournament from an unofficial one. Otherwise, we'll be arguing about nothing. I propose the following definitions:
1. Official tournament - conducted by members of the portal's administration. Held regularly (a strict schedule must be established). Recognized as valid with a minimum of 3 participants (so that it is a tournament, not just a game for one). Players receive rating points and Grails for participation according to established rules.
2. Fan tournament - conducted by any user on the portal at any time. Recognized as a rated tournament if a quorum is reached:
Heroes 1 - 5 people.
Heroes 2 - 7 people.
Heroes 3 - 10 people.
Heroes 4 - 5 people.
Heroes 5 - 10 people.
Grails are awarded at the discretion of the organizers, but with the agreement of the administration (a certain amount is allocated by the administration for each fan tournament).
In this case, we will get a well-structured system, without contradictions.

2. Fan tournament - can be organized by any user on the portal at any time. It is considered a ranked tournament if a quorum is reached:
Heroes 1 - 5 players.
Heroes 2 - 7 players.
Heroes 3 - 10 players.
Heroes 4 - 5 players.
Heroes 5 - 10 players.

Let's clarify:
At the same time, it must be approved by the portal administration. :smile16:
This is to prevent tournaments organized by, say, a Warlock...
Sincerely.
