A question for the HotA Team regarding the reroll rule during bargaining.
http://h3hota.com/ru/rules formulates the reroll rule as follows:
"Before bargaining, it is possible to reroll the pair of towns. Each player may pay their opponent 500 gold to regenerate the pair of towns. If, in the new pair of towns, at least one town matches a town from the old pair, the initiator of the reroll has the right to request another reroll for free. Each player can initiate a paid reroll only once. Any pair of towns may be rerolled for free as many times as desired by mutual consent of the players."
Let's consider a situation. A Castle-Rampart pair is rolled. Player A pays 500 for a reroll; a Castle-Rampart pair is rolled. Free reroll. A Castle-Rampart pair is rolled. Player A can no longer request a free reroll since they have already used it, and will be forced to play this pair with minus 500. Is this how it works according to the HotA lobby rules? Because literally, that is what is written in the rules.
Specifically, in the recently failed match between Helllight and Amilu, the dispute came down to exactly the interpretation of this rule, which is why the game did not take place. Amilu was certain that he could essentially ban a town from further generations. Hell took the position that the right to a free reroll is granted once, and in any case is lost if the opponent takes over the initiative for the reroll.
I recommend formulating this rule more accurately to avoid different interpretations. And provide specific examples, as there are various ways to interpret it here.
On ХВ, this rule is formulated differently:
"Each player has the right once to reroll the pair of towns at their own discretion by paying 500 coins to the opponent. In doing so, the player who paid 500 gold may place a ban on the generation of one of the towns."
That is, any town, by the player's decision, is banned for all subsequent rerolls in that match. And here, no doubts about the interpretation arise.
