It's a good idea, but it will be very difficult to understand if the majority is in favor, as many people simply won't respond.
Ultimately, I'm not against it, because the templates were chosen based on the principle of the most frequently used ones in all tournaments, so as not to disadvantage anyone, because the ultimate goal of the tournament is to identify the champion among champions, in the most equal conditions.

Moreover, there is no need to change anything. So, a simple balance is stated in the regulations.
I don't think that any player could have read it as the balance for M200, just because Skirmish M200 is listed next to it, separated by a comma.

I wanted to ask the tournament organizers to describe the situation when players in a group have the same number of points – how will the player who advances be determined?

By the number of goals scored away from home, of course!

1. Berger coefficient (calculated only based on the results shown in the group).
2. Head-to-head result.
3. Points scored in the game carry more weight than technical wins.
4. Currently, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that arises in the groups at the end of the stage.

Please register me for the tournament. Is this now considered an application? Guys, please, no bureaucracy, it's unnecessary right now.

Now, yes. "Bureaucracy" is invented for convenience.

A miner with an angel and earth elemental was ready to crush everyone in his path, but his opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

I confirm. After all restarts were spent, I got a map with no hope. Adjacent areas were swamp + sand, and all blocks were shooters or higher-speed monsters. The army was reduced after each battle and finally killed on a block with 40 orc chieftains. Thanks for the game.

I can live with a lower rating in your eyes, just as I can with a higher one :)

Okay, then it's all good, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it :)

We chose all the restart options, and in the end, we played a game of chance. I got luckier, thanks for the time!

I played "at home". I picked a random map, expecting to play red Castle against blue Necropolis from the draw, but my opponent surprised me by taking Castle themselves. We started playing. First, 111 went to the opponent, then there were 3 of mine in a row - one in the Dungeon, one at Stracker, and one at Stracker in the Dungeon. Then another one from the opponent, and finally we started.
111 - Fast roads, up top, 4 roads total, Fairies for speed boost, revealed the watchtower under the Castle, ГО - Gold, there's a Griffin Conservatory. Respawn is average in size, not many mobs, but no blocks either. 2 Bone Dragon external dwellings and 1 Zombie external dwelling. Ran Clavius along the upgrades. There's Isra. Set Mysticism 1.
112 - Lost 20 Bone Dragons to 90 Bone Dragons with Clavius, but then rescued a prison with Calth and Serena and 34 Gremlins, which turned out very useful. Converter.
113 - Isra breaks a portal for 20+ Nomads, lost the remnants of the chaff and 15 Bone Dragons. On the other side, Stone Golems and Cerberi, so I turn around. About 100 Bone Dragons. Graveyard at home.
114 - I build Vampires, Clavius kills a horde of Zombies at one of the two exits to the grass. A problem appears - no Sulfur anywhere. Clavius with Earth Magic and Tactics.
115 - Reveal watchtower on a secondary. Rampart, Stable next to the town, there's a Necklace of Swiftness and a Griffin Conservatory. A bit further, a Dwarf Cottage is visible. I capture the town, it has a Tavern, return the army, take resources with Isra, build Necromancy. Build Citadel.
116 - Moandor finds 3 Sulfur and 2 Dwarf Cottages on the grass. The first one, revealed earlier, is behind Serpent Flies, and the second one is behind Basiliks with Boots of Speed next to it. There's a Marketplace in Rampart - I trade for 3 Sulfur and build Liches.
117 - Upgrades to Cavalry finish in the Citadel at home. I bring the army to Clavius, take the Dwarf Cottage behind the Serpent Flies, 20 with Haste, it's a tough fight, -30 Bone Dragons, though 20 were returned. Earth EXP. Elves in Rampart.
121 - Cavalry and Liches arrive, I kill a crowd of Ogre Magi for a Berserkers' Den + a Chain Lightning scroll, 200 Berserkers. Then I break through the Basiliks, spend the night in the Boots of Speed in front of the Dwarf Cottage.
122 - Max Dwarf Cottage, excellent! I sit in Rampart to replenish mana. I check a Griffin Conservatory on the grass, it's Min. I take it with Isra, bring an Angel to boost Clavius' speed. I find another Griffin Conservatory on the grass.
123 - Clavius takes a Naga Bank level 3, then goes through the Stable to the second bank and the Griffin Conservatory on the grass. Upgrade Grand Elves.
124 - Bank is Min, Griffin Conservatory is Min. Well, not bad either... I head back home. I break through with Xi to the second grass secondary.
125 - I take another Rampart, pass the army to Tante, take a level 2 Griffin Conservatory on the dirt, -4 Liches. 4 Angels from 3 Griffin Conservatories, not great, but acceptable. I hope to get Wisdom on Clavius at level 12, run to level up on the Angel on Stone Golems, but Wisdom isn't given, apparently it had been offered earlier. I get Pathfinding.
126 - Upgrade Cavalry at home. I gain another level with Clavius, get Logistics. I boost speed through the same portal on the Stone Golems, it's a couple of steps from the ГО. The army takes a Min Dragon Fly Hive.
127 - Upgrade Bone Dragons. I gather the army into a fist, 1+450 Bone Dragons, 4 Angels, 5 upgraded Cavalry, 6 Vampires, 20 each of Walking Dead and Dwarves, hit the ГО. 14 Golden Dragons fall with the loss of the chaff, 40 Bone Dragons, 1 Angel, and 1 Cavalry. The road is very long, even with 3200 movement points I can't reach the town.
131 - I take the opponent's main, run to take their grass secondary, I think about the Dragon Utopia found on my grass. On my turn, the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!

Control is our "everything".
Thanks for the game.

The opponent took all the restarts, I had 1 left, a good surrender, a Shakhtar appeared, Troglodytes for 100+, I immediately break the Dwarf Cottage 15... then I ran around training, at the end of the week I captured the Castle of the purple player, killed the scout hero of the red player, on day 123 I break the maximum Griffin Conservatory with a Gre stack with a loss of 14 Troglodytes, then a Dragon Fly Hive falls on day 8 and I do reconnaissance, leveling Gunnar well, on day 125 I ran out to the red player and a surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!

It happened.
Thanks for the game.

After considering the templates, I came to the following conclusions: - A player who fundamentally doesn't want to play with the M200 template is practically trapped; they either risk and keep the M200, or significantly limit themselves in terms of black magic (this applies to away games). - Indeed, 3 out of 12 templates of one type, which differ quite significantly in gameplay from the others but are similar to each other, reduce the variety of templates. In light of the above, instead of a 200% balance, a balance of L-U 130% is introduced. I apologize to the players who have already played with the previous pool of templates. The tournament is young, and some aspects are not immediately apparent. In any case, everything is being done to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable game; I ask for your understanding.

We chose all the rematches, and in the end, we played a game of chance. I was luckier, thanks for the time!

I couldn't beat the AI, I confirm.

In light of the above, instead of a 200% balance, a 130% L-U balance will be implemented.

And I never doubted for a second that the 130% L balance, as the default, was the right approach, and I'm sure my opponents shared the same opinion. Here's the new generation, they don't know the standards! :D
