Posts from Let's organize a tournament.

Especially for those who prefer a structured approach, I suggest starting a tournament on December 1st.
Rules: standard random map! Factions: determined according to the 1-2-2...2-1 scheme. Load times: default 0 (since most people want that), but adjustable by agreement. Otherwise, everything will be as usual.
Open registration on November 7th and create a discussion thread.

Tell me, what's the problem? I could say the same about the topic of the tournament itself. I will assign the appropriate status to these topics.

[/U]There is now an option to coordinate the tournament plan for next year, let's do that, like in the league. Spring tournament for 3 months, summer, autumn, and again the final one. Let the spring and autumn tournaments have standard rules, for the summer one we can come up with original ones! Then December-February we can hold the final 2017 tournament using the playoff system, with the top 16 playing!

Regarding the seasonal tournaments. Let's try to start a seasonal tournament on March 1, 2017. Maybe some new players will join in.
But at first glance, there won't be much popularity, since there is a seasonal tournament on the Portal with automated reporting and rating calculation systems.
On HeroesWorld in 5, unfortunately, no one wants to maintain the rating for now, since it is not automated and the rating hasn't been updated for, I believe, 3-4 years for sure.
Ideally, perhaps the formula needs to be revised, and someone found who will handle this on a serious and ongoing basis.
I consider it impractical to run a new rating from scratch, and also unfair towards those players whose rating has been formed since the release of 5 and the mass interest in this game online in 2007-2009.

Vitaly, remember our intra-clan seasonal tournaments; we could essentially use them as a foundation in terms of rules and conduct regulations.
But again, the issue comes down to rating calculation...

In other words, the problem is that we need to calculate the current rating for today, right? And automating the future rating isn't difficult, since automation already works in the section for the third game, right?

We will calculate the rating based on the last 4 tournaments, with the weight of older tournaments decreasing.
Since the decisive tournament of 2017 will take place after 4 tournaments, there will be no problems with the previous rating, and in future tournaments, the rating will not be so important, except for the final one!

P.S. Kirill, get in touch. Move the tournament and report topic to the top of the important section; I'm having trouble navigating here.

I don't understand why it's a problem to calculate the current ELO with a shift, as they do in tennis.
