"The Miner's Adventures"

Then I'll add my two cents:)

It's time for Vampire to have his say.

1. The game must be played on a clean SoD version.
2. Preliminary registration should be canceled as unnecessary.
3. The third criterion should be canceled. I'll explain why:

- There is simply no need for the third criterion. Just think of one tournament where the second criteria were met, and there's nothing to say about the third.
- In most tournaments, strong players push for the maximum. The third criterion adds an absolutely unnecessary hassle of resource gathering to the already challenging map.
- It encourages players to use the "save-scumming" method to optimize losses, especially if there is a resource depot on the map, which is almost always the case.
- The absence of the third criterion will further encourage players to "maximize" their results. Even if players have the same results according to the second criterion, it is quite fair to award prizes to both, provided that their playthroughs are different.

1. Perhaps, but what guarantee is there that players won't use "save-scumming"? The organizer won't be able to prove in a dubious battle that the player didn't cheat. And what if the player who came in 2nd or 3rd place does it? I guarantee that there is no organizer who can sit and check each battle of all players 20-50 times. And it needs to be checked! This means that he will miss cheaters, do you need that? I think that with the cancellation of the patch, such cases will increase many times over. Think about it.

2. Quote:

And since we're discussing the rules, explain to me what the sacred meaning is of organizing preliminary registration of participants in an offline tournament? Everywhere, the final save is the application.

If almost everyone who registered actually played, that would be one thing. But that's not the case...

It's very simple:

1) So that participants can see that their save has been successfully submitted, and also that it has been accepted/rejected, and they don't need to contact the organizer unnecessarily, worrying about it.;)

2) Agree, if there is only 1 player in the participant table, there is simply no point in participating, because without a quorum, it is no longer a game.

3) Usually, renowned players who have registered for the tournament send in their saves + create significant intrigue in the game, attracting new and old participants to the tournament with their mere presence.
Example (Fireball, vbn, Qwerty, Dmitriy_AS, etc.).

4) With the introduction of such a table, there was at least some order in the naming of the save file sent by the organizers. Otherwise, they send =34gfd.gm1 and you have to figure out whose save it is.

5) Convenience for summarizing the results by the tournament organizers.

3. There's nothing to remember here, just go to the Tournament Results for 1 topic, and you will immediately see that in almost every tournament, the battle is either for skills or for mercury! This is what mastery is! Showing the same result on the days is already banal (at least in 1), this no longer surprises anyone, therefore, mastery must be proven by the 2nd and 3rd criteria for victory, especially since the rating is now non-linear, and it strongly depends on the place taken! And now go to your favorite HP and look at the latest results for heroes 1, 3 players showed the same result on the days. Victory is determined by all 3!!! And you consider this mastery!?? I don't recognize you in disguise! Is this really you, Dmitriy_AS?
Therefore, I am strongly against canceling the 2nd and 3rd criteria for victory.

4. Now, the most important thing.
In a few days, a vote will be announced on updating the main page of HW!
Several types of skins will be offered! The winning skin in the vote will be the face of the site! After that, the same fate awaits the forum, and for this, we need to clearly decide on the rules for all parts of Heroes.
To date, the issue of 3 remains unresolved. And until it is resolved, the modernization of both the forum and the tournaments will be frozen.
Therefore, such a delicate issue as playing with or without a patch must be decided by the players themselves, and if it is decided to play without it, then it is necessary to think about a system that will allow organizers to check saves responsibly and with minimal time costs!

P.S. The system that was invented on HP is absolutely imperfect and cannot be implemented on our site.
