For a very long time, I wondered why there were no streams from Saika, until I saw a link to this thread on the forum.
I read it, scrolled through, and was very surprised. I request that Scorpion be REMOVED from judging in this tournament and ALL subsequent ones, due to violation of the rules and tournament regulations. The arbitrary removal of a player from the tournament bracket, which contradicts the rules, must not go unpunished. On page 1 of the rules, it is clearly written that if a player is admitted, they play. If an error was made in the decision to admit a high-level player to a beginners' tournament, rules for their removal should be described. No such rules exist. In such cases, judges should follow the rules, shouldn't they? A man's word is his bond. But, as everyone knows, that doesn't apply to Scorpion.
So, the judge broke the rules, and everything was swept under the rug. Is this NORMAL on your ХВ?
Added 2 minutes later I am quoting the rules from page one because, knowing female cunning, I assume that another point will "unexpectedly" appear in the rules soon regarding the case with Kilgor. Scorpiona
tournament "Новичок-2012. Winter"[/SIZE]
Greetings to all Lovers of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, future participants, and fans of the traditional "Новичок" tournament. I hope the new season will again please us with good games and new discovery players:smile02:
This is our traditional, already sixth in a row, tournament for Новичок. We do not have a precise and strict definition of who a "новичок" is. This tournament is for those - who only recently realized that you can play the favorite old game Heroes over the internet, - who only recently found out that they aren't the only one who can easily beat computers and that it's not so simple with a real person, - who recently started playing with more than one or two heroes and building chains...
We do not invite fathers and grandfathers, we don't want to see clones, and besides, would a medal obtained in such a dubious way have any value for a strong player?
The main goal of the tournament is to get to know each other and gain experience in communication and gaming.
Participant Requirements 1. A Новичок is considered a player registered on our forum or another gaming resource for no more than one year. 2. Players who have longer playing experience but wish to play in the tournament will be considered on an individual basis. 3. Already sufficiently strong players, who have shown good results in any tournament, are not allowed to participate. 4. A tournament participant must have at least one game in the season according to HeroesWorld rules (can be played after registration). This is necessary to ensure that you can technically play online and have an understanding of World's rules. In separate cases, this criterion may be waived (if the player is known on other gaming resources and plays successfully there) 5. Players registered on the forum after the opening of the "Новичок-2012. Winter" tournament undertake to play a test game with an authorized person to determine their skill level. 6. Organizers have the right to refuse registration to anyone if they believe there are valid reasons, without public explanation of the reasons.
Applications are left in this thread. In the application, specify: 1. ICQ number for contact; 2. convenient time for playing; 3. when the first online game was first played; 4. if the participant came from another gaming resource, they must write where from and their nickname on that resource.
Organizational Issues 1. The tournament is official and regular. 2. Tournament organizers, leads, and judges - Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983), Pit for LM (ICQ 471401475), Gomunguls (ICQ 499978341), GoD (ICQ 291656338). 3. The tournament is based on the Rules for organization, conduct, and participation in HOMM3 online tournaments, Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal rating tournament. 4. For each game played, participants must submit a detailed report and confirmation (also detailed) in this thread. Only in this case is the game counted. 5. All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied by me to the topic "Reports of online games and their confirmations. Season Winter-2011-12". That is, duplicating reports in the season thread is NOT necessary. 6. It is necessary to make and save daily saves of all games until the end of the tournament. 7. Based on the results of the tournament, a "Winner of Tournament Новичок-2012. Winter" medal will be awarded under the winner's avatar.
Tournament Regulations 1. Tournament dates: January-April 2012. Start January 9, 2012. 2. Traditionally, the tournament will take place in two stages - group and playoffs. 3. The draw and current results will be at the beginning of this thread (second-third post). I. Group stageis played on template 2SM4d(3). By mutual consent, a game can be played on any other. You play rounds in any order, depending on how you agree with groupmates. If there is an opportunity and desire - you can even play everything in a week and then wait for the results of others. The number of groups and places in a group will be determined upon completion of registration. Attention: technical results will be assigned for all games not played on time. The main criterion for advancing from the group is the number of points earned (1 point for a win, 0.5 for a draw, 0 for a loss). If several players earn the same number of points, additional indicators come into play (in order of priority): a) Berger Coefficient b) Head-to-head encounter c) Group completion time d) Place in seasonal rating How many players advance from the group will be determined after registration ends. II. Playoffswill proceed under the Full Double Elimination system. The system is similar to an Olympic one, but a player is eliminated after losing twice. Examples can be seen in the last two seasons At this stage, we will play by choosing templates via elimination from the list: 2sm4d(3), 8mm6a, Jebus Cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Panic
Rules 1. Game version. The tournament is held on game version СОД 3.2(4.0), by mutual consent WT. 2. The tournament is conducted according to the seasonal rules for template 2SM4d(3). 3. Disputed points, if any arise, please discuss them as much as possible outside the forum, i.e., first contact the organizer via ICQ. The judging decision is made based on seasonal rules, basic logic, and gaming ethics. In any non-standard situation, the organizer takes responsibility for making a fair decision. To resolve disputed situations, players provide daily saves and ICQ logs. 4. During the tournament, the rules and regulations will NOT change. All changes and additions will be made before January 9. 5.Templates At the playoff stage, the template selection is carried out by elimination from a list of 5 templates: 2sm4d3, jebus Cross, Panic, 8mm6a, mini nostalgia. The blue player starts crossing them off. /Example: Blue : 1. Panic Red : 2. 8mm6a Blue: 3. 2SM4d(3) Red: 4. Jebus cross This means we play on the mini nostalgia template.
Description of template 2SM4d(3) here. Rules for 2SM4d(3) completely coincide with the seasonal rules
Description of template 8mm6a here. Differences for 8mm6a: - Map settings: XL+U, 2 humans + 6 computers, difficulty 160%. - Restart due to slow roads. Taken at the request of at least one opponent immediately after map generation. - Allowed to move from respawn to respawn without breaking through shifted guards. - If a computer's castle has level 1, 6, or 7 upgrades in Conflux or level 4 upgrade in Necropolis, it is forbidden to upgrade your own troops of these levels and hire the upgraded version of creatures. If the Necromancer Amplifier is built, upgrading vampires is forbidden, and additional skeletons do not need to be dismissed. - Dimension Door can be used 2 times a day with expert air magic.
Description of template Jebus cross here. Differences for Jebus cross: - Standard map settings: size XL-U, two players, no water, monsters - strong, difficulty 160%, turn time limit – 8 minutes. - Restart at the request of a player whose only road leads to ГО. - Restart at the request of a player who lacks a road to the central treasure zone. - Restart due to slow roads. Taken at the request of at least one opponent immediately after map generation. - Using "Angel's Wings" and spells "Fly" and "Dimension Door" when moving from one zone to another is allowed only if the guard between them has been broken. - In case of bugged passages between zones, passing to a neighboring zone is possible only if ГО to the center has been broken from both zones. - In Necropolis castle, Galtran can be chosen as the starting hero.
Description of template Mini-Nostalgia here, and a detailed scheme here. Differences for Mini-Nostalgia: - Map settings: L+U for 8 players (i.e., with 6 computers). It is also possible to play as two people; then neutral castles will be in place of the computers. - To avoid double-builds, the choice of castles for computers is made by players alternately, one at a time. The blue player starts the selection. There should be no repetitions or matches with player castles. Before starting the game, the host assigns the chosen castles to the computers. - It is allowed to run to neighboring respawns past shifted guards (except ГО), as computers ignore shifted guards and furthermore, breaking through a passage to a computer is much easier than taking its castle from it.
Description of template Panic here. Differences for Panic: - Standard map settings: size L-U, humans - 2, computers - 0, no water, monsters - strong, difficulty 130% (rook).
