December 7, 2018. Changes and clarifications to the Tournament Regulations.
1. A clause has been added to Section I.
13. In case changes are made to the standard rules of the HeroesWorld Portal during the tournament, these changes may also be applied to this tournament for games that have not yet started; further announcements will be made in both tournament threads.
2. Simultaneous turns.
Clause 10 of Section I has been changed to:
10. All BO3 matches in the upper bracket (Transition Stage and Playoffs for first places in groups) and lower bracket matches starting from the quarterfinals (top-12) - simultaneous turns on all maps 117.
The timer for games with simultaneous turns is standard plus 1 minute added to the first digit of the timer for each day of simultaneous turns.
Previously:
Simultaneous turns starting from the quarterfinals in both brackets; there were no rules regarding the timer.
3. Berger coefficient.
To avoid misinterpretations, a formula for calculating the Berger coefficient in this tournament has been added to Section 2.
BC = 3*P3 + 1*P1, where:
BC - Berger Coefficient of a specific participant
3 - The number 3 represents the points awarded for winning this tournament
P3 - Points3 - The sum of points scored by those against whom the participant received 3 points
1 - The number 1 represents the points awarded for a draw in this tournament
P1 - Points1 - The sum of points scored by those against whom the participant received 1 point
Whether it was a technical result or not will not matter.
4. Reports for technical results.
Clause 15 of Section 3 has been amended.
If a game has started, a report is only written in case of a technical victory for one of the opponents. In case of a technical draw, no report is required.
5. Principles of group stage seeding.
Changed back from tournament rating to the original method.
The group stage seeding will be based on distribution into tiers using the current HeroesWorld rating (left column - overall). Individual adjustments may be made taking into account significant tournament results.
p.s. Of the discussed ideas, consideration of only one item remains unfinished – adding the
8mm/6lm mix map instead of 8mm6a (author - Russel_lDHl) to the pool.
There hasn't been enough time to test everything that was planned; it is scheduled to be completed within the next 2 days.
No other substantial changes to the Regulations are planned.
