Rules for Heroes of Might and Magic III online tournaments on HeroesWorld.

Thank you all for your support; there has been a lot of feedback here, in ICQ, and on the forums. This means that our players are interested in this topic, and we need to continue.

To Nagan-4. Special and huge thanks.

VI. Organization and conduct of Interportal Tournaments (IPT).

I can help with the development.

To be honest, I was secretly hoping for this, but knowing how busy you are, I was hesitant to ask directly. No one knows the intricacies of this better than you. And I can't imagine another captain for our team.

Regarding the Appeals Committee. I completely agree with

And here's another reason why such a committee is needed: to interact with the forum administration.

I will add this to the Rules as the first point.
VII. 4. The Appeals Committee is responsible for:
a) interacting with the forum administration;
b) advising users on tournament rules;
...

If a cheater is caught in a tournament, then that's it, they are banned from tournaments and the hero community... I think a simple ban would be a fitting end to a cheater's career on the forum. There's no need to play games with them.

+1. And even +100. This is the opinion of the vast majority of players. But when there was a discussion about this recently, we were told that the forum is not only for games but also for communication. Maybe the cheater wants to communicate? We can't ban them... That's why cases like the one in the Autumn Seasons happened, when a cheater caught in a 4-player tournament cheated with us a month later because the information didn't reach us. And why is the cheater, who was recently banned with so much difficulty and loss, now openly and brazenly claiming that he cloned himself and returned, and there is no reaction? And why were no actions taken against the second cheater caught in the season? And why did they remain in our ranking? What good are ranking points for winning against a cheater to honest players? And what's the point of playing in a tournament if you're sure your opponent is cheating? This isn't a season – I play with whoever I want. And why, even when everything is clear as day, are we told: provide 100% proof, which, apparently, can only be a cheater's sincere confession, then we might wag our finger at them, say "tsk tsk" and deduct 50 penalty points? And I didn't come up with these questions – players are constantly asking them... But they don't get an answer... And here's the result:

I read our forums, and cheaters openly mock on the forums, not even hiding.

And another result – honest players can't stand such mockery and simply leave...
That's why I suggest other forms of fighting, to somehow protect players from humiliation and bullying.
