The 3 restarts in tournaments are to much imo. Especially if the color changes by each restart. Only if both players get very good starts noone will restart, and that happens very rarely. Even above average maps are restarted if you have 3 restarts left.
2 for tournaments is perfect imo. For regular games it could be 2, but less than 2 is also an option.
@misplaced guards: Are we allowed to pass misplaced guards between 2 zones if we have beaten guards between those 2 zones far from where we now want to pass? Meaning guards to the zone are beaten, but not guards to the specific pass.
