One for all and all for one - 2

It is time for the devotees of team battles, where each teammate's game is more important than your own, because the result depends not only on your play, but on the performance of the entire team. This tournament breaks you away from routine games and gives a chance to beat any of your opponents because all participants are divided into baskets according to their HW-rate, skill, and the captain's decision. Welcome to the team tournament.

Each player who wants to take part in the tournament should provide an ICQ number and Skype (advisable).

Team Building (Player Draft):

1. After the list is made, all tournament participants must send a list of captains to the organizer within 3 days. In other words, they must choose among the participants (besides themselves) those who, in their opinion, deserve to be a captain. All captains form the 1st basket.
For example, if 48 participants register, they will be divided into 3 baskets, and each basket will have 16 players. Sending the captains' list also serves as confirmation of participation in the tournament. Those who ignore this voting leave the tournament.

2. After captains are appointed, the rest of the players will be divided into 2nd and 3rd baskets according to their rate at HeroesWorld (Players with a low number of rated games or those coming from other game resources will be evaluated individually).

3. Team building or drawing takes place in the Skype conference.
Here is a link to the chat
(If anyone does not have Skype, this player will be informed by the captain via ICQ)

Captains will take turns picking one player from every basket for their future team.

4. The list of captains will be made according to the number of votes for captaincy in descending order.
Captains who miss the draw will participate in team building automatically; that is, when it is their turn to choose a player, they get the player with the highest rate among the remaining players in the basket.

5. According to this turn, captains will take players from the 2nd basket for their team. Choosing from the 3rd basket works in reverse order; that is, whoever chose first chooses last this time. The other draw will depend on the total number of players.

6. After finishing the draw, during the transfer period, teams must invent a name and an emblem. Team names must not contain information about any Internet resources. If one team is named, for example, ”The Imps”, it is forbidden for other teams to be named ”The Imps-2”

7. Transfers. After finishing the team-building process, there are 3 days to make transfers or player changes between teams. A transfer is available when both captains agree to make it. Captains themselves have no possibility to leave their teams and every team can make only one transfer (in other words, only one player of the team can be changed or transferred)



The Rules of Game Agreements.

1. No later than 7 days from the start of each tour, players must find their opponents and agree on the date and time for starting games between themselves.
- If a game is requested, players should determine a date for its renewal.
2. If 7 days pass and the players have not agreed on a game date, or one of the players does not get an answer from the opponent, you should write to the organizer as soon as possible and provide the message history regarding that specific game. After that, the organizer determines the dates for such games.
3. If one of the players fails to play the determined game without any explanation of the reasons, and the players cannot determine a new date for the game, in such case, the player who failed to play it can receive a technical loss.
4. Players who do not have time to finish their games before the deadline should explain the reasons in the forum topic or send a private message to the organizer with as detailed an explanation as possible the day before the deadline. It is necessary to find any way of warning (help from other players is also possible). The absence of warning is considered a refusal and viewed as neglect of duties or a precipitating cause.
6. If at the moment of the deadline there is a game save (minimum one whole played game week by both opponents), in such case, the last chance to play it is the Obligatory Date of Finishing (ODoF) (or the opponents can finish it earlier). Failure to appear on the Obligatory Date of Finishing leads to a technical loss regardless of the history of problems connected with determining the game, if they do not change the previous technical result.
