Posts from Discussion of the format and rules for the upcoming Third Tournament of Elements.

You're being selfish, Alex. You came up with rules that suit you, and to hell with everyone else. If they want to play, they can; if they don't, they don't. If stronger players don't want to play, let them not play; it's better for us anyway. Sorry if I offended you, but that's the impression I'm getting.

The rules were created specifically for strong players who were tired of the standard maps – permanent bans on Dungeon and Necropolis, for example. And playing 50% of the matches on the Labyrinth map also got boring.

Due to the lack of a quorum (spectators) and the rules and format of the tournament not being finalized, the draw will be postponed until tomorrow at 22:00 Moscow time (10/19/14). I ask Kirill to edit the rules and format by that time, and that no one be late!

I still don't understand what the template selection process will be: as I suggested (we draw from 2 options for each game) or how else?
Regarding the tournament format: I understand it's a Swiss system with double elimination.
Regarding the registered participants: I understand that everyone participates.

Rules were posted in the tournament thread. Write what's wrong or share your suggestions; otherwise, I'm tipsy :D.

What Swiss system are you talking about? I clearly explained everything in my last post. Anyway, I'm fed up with this. Play however you want, I'm out.

I'm ready to host a tournament! Kila, write to me on ICQ if you're interested!
