Guys, maybe it would make sense to use the OFB (One-For-All Battle) scheme from Heroes of Might and Magic III?
City selection:
"Each participant in the tournament will play one game for each city.
After registration for the tournament is confirmed, the participant must send a list via ICQ or a private message on the forum, which will contain information about which city and on which map the participant wishes to play. The cities listed in the list cannot be changed."
Eight maps = eight factions. Eight rounds of a Swiss-system tournament; a round-robin format is not essential for this setup.

The list of templates decreases after each game for each player. A standard draft is made from the remaining list. The list of templates is replenished after it is exhausted.
The Factions are submitted to the judge before the tournament; in this list, the participant indicates which Faction they will play against a specific opponent. Depending on the number of participants, the number of repetitions of the declared Factions is limited. The judges, who are also participants in the tournament, exchange their lists with each other.
What is unclear?

Yeah, but this is written in the discussion thread, not in the rules themselves. The section on factions is unclear; for example, it doesn't state the number of factions a player can choose, and this can only be understood indirectly.

Also, it's unclear: if I choose Orc against a player, and they choose Orc against me, do we both play as Orcs?

Also, it's unclear: if I only have the Summer template left, and my opponent has already crossed it out, what do I do?

P.S. If there are 2 judges and they both participate in the tournament, who should I send the picks against them to, the other judge? I understand sending the list to the first judge, but the picks against the other judge to the second judge?

I also don't understand what to do if, for example, I only have the summer template left, but my opponent has already crossed it out?

Great, the tournament has started, and questions have arisen! But before, nobody cared.
In this situation, there is only one solution: don't play against this player for now, or remove them from the full list, and it will be like a second round based on the templates. I wrote about this problem before... Well, in general, people are reasonable, we'll come to an agreement.
P.S. It seems that the judges simply don't understand this problem, which may arise!

....

Still, at the beginning, is the draw made from 16 templates or 8? For example, I have Letos, Mask, Labyrinth left, and my opponent has Mask, Labyrinth, Crown. Will the draw be Letos, Mask, Labyrinth, Crown, or Letos, Mask, Labyrinth, Mask, Labyrinth, Crown?

Regarding this point, I can suggest a simplified draw option.
If the opponents have a non-empty set of common, unplayed templates,
draw from that set – purely to speed up the inconvenient procedure.

And if the unplayed templates of the opponents do not intersect, then draw from
the combined set of unplayed templates.

Example 1: Non-empty intersection.
Player 1 has not played: Mask, Letos, Labyrinth
Player 2 has not played: M3, Labyrinth, Raduga
We have a non-empty intersection = Labyrinth = we play Labyrinth (of course, there may be more intersections, and they will need to be "drawn")

Example 2:
Player 1 has not played: Mask, Letos, Labyrinth
Player 2 has not played: M3, Sun, Raduga

There is no common intersection, we draw from the list =
Mask, Letos, Labyrinth, M3, Sun, Raduga

Simple, clear, and fast :)
