DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

In this case, no additional points are needed; the rules are completely clear. Read section 5.10.2 again, and if your case doesn't fit, it means you can't participate in the battle.

If the letter and the spirit of the law don't match, it's customary to change the letter!
