1) Maybe instead of Classic we could have Default minus Khalifate? Or you could just call it "Old Default".
2) I think it would be nice also if the stated goal of the tournament tournament is not just balancing Khalifate but also improving the balance of Default era generally. I'm not an MP expert personally but having been around for a bit, specced my share of ladder games and spoken to some top tier players, I think one could argue that Knalgan vs Undead, particularly on a map like Sulla's ruins, is not significantly more balanced than the matchups with Khalifate right now.
