We invite you to take part in the qualifying tournament for the main online tournament of the year, FB-11 :smile03:

I. Regulations and Deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using a "Swiss" system

The tournament starts on July 28 at 21-00; the draw is at 20-30 on the Dirty_Player channel. Registration is open until the start of the draw.

The time limit for one round is 2 weeks — this time, awards and techs will be issued without delay. Thus, draws for subsequent rounds will begin on time!!
Players must agree on a common game time themselves; judges will base their decisions on the attempts and desire of both players to play. In case of extreme stubbornness from both participants, a mutual tech-loss will follow, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw to reach an agreement. If no one can agree at all, keep the judges informed; in exceptional cases involving a language barrier, an ODD may be appointed. If one of the players fails to appear at the scheduled time, the second player must write to the organizer or judge, and this will be the primary argument when issuing a tech result.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 5 players advance to the final part, but under certain circumstances (such as tie-breaking for places, a player who reserved a spot in FB withdrawing, etc.), the lead organizer has the right to expand this list. (Having the right does not mean they necessarily will — for the particularly meticulous demagogues :) )

The organizer reserves the right to change and supplement these regulations. If the AC adopts any changes to the rules after the start of the tournament, they will automatically come into force in this tournament starting from the round following the current one. (Changes will not apply to games already in progress)

Attention all participants! Anyone who has unconfirmed reports 1 week old or older at the time the tournament starts will not be admitted — registration will be denied. Please check current tournaments and the season for debts here: http://heroes3stat.tk/unconfirmed/

II. Rules and Templates.

upd. 12.08.17: two tech-losses result in the participant's disqualification from the tournament and a likely miss of the next tournament.
upd. 04.08.17 0. Rebuilding is allowed and must be enabled on all templates. Regarding the library by default — it is allowed only in the starting tower. Anyone who started a game under other rules finishes according to them. From the second round, these rules apply by default
1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0)+latest HD-mod+HeroesWorld Rules 1.38, connect via hamachi (if it doesn't work, then TeamViewer). By mutual agreement: WT, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version, even WoG :D
3. Template selection. I believe a good player should be able to play on any template, so different templates will be played in the tournament, most likely all 9: :smile03: The list is as follows: h3dm1, mt-diamond, anarchy L+U 160% trade, skirmish M-U 200% all random, Jebus cross, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, 8xm12a, and Spider. The distribution by rounds will be random for greater interest. :)
4. Castle selection. Randomizer + trade. Regeneration of a pair of castles is permitted for 500 coins. The blue player first states their desire/lack of desire to keep the current pair. Then comes the same-color trade.
5. Rules for playing on h3dm1 and mt-diamond (computer castles are random). Read carefully before starting the game. By default, these specific rules will apply.
a). Timer 21+8-30+1-15. It is permitted to pass by shifted guards onto any lands. Only medium roads. Trading. First, the castle is determined. Each participant has the right to ban one castle before generation. The blue player first states their desire/lack of desire to ban a castle, after which in HW-Rulz mode, those castles are banned and the random 1-castle generator is launched. The game will be played with this castle.
b). Trading also occurs for color and the right to choose the hero (therefore red-rush is allowed). Each player has the right to cross out 1 hero before the trade for them begins (they may waive this right), then trading for the hero occurs (when starting with Conflux, we trade just as we do for other castles), followed by trading for color. If a banned hero arrives at tavern 111 of any player with troops — auto-restart. The rule breaker gets a tech-loss. The hero must be declared to the opponent immediately after generation (for slowpokes :D within 10 seconds after start)
c). There is 1 subjective restart and objective restarts (restart due to block (inability to leave the castle) or a severe generation bug) — this is discussed between players; if no consensus is reached, the player has the right to save and contact the judges once (this applies to all templates), but please do not abuse this right as it drags out games. Objective restarts are taken no later than 112.
d). It is forbidden to steal anything other than resources and chests by passing shifted guards, or to visit objects (except mills for resources and gold, as well as boosters for increasing movement points) that do not have their own internal guard.
e). The main rule — game ethics and respectful treatment of the opponent. For violation of this rule, including on streams, sanctions against the violating player are possible, up to a ban from the tournament.
7. Skirmish is played m200 according to standard rules:

/topic/10593/

Additions: restarts total two days. Who starts red first is determined by a coin toss. Roads 1-2 (slow and medium). Players have the right to change rules by mutual agreement, except for the template being played.
Coin rule: The player who wins the draw has the right to choose the starting color in the first generation. For this, the HW Rules "Flip a Coin" option is used; the one who guesses the resulting number has the right to choose the starting color.
8. Before the round deadline, the winning player must write a report, and the loser must confirm it — those who fail to follow this rule are not admitted to the draw for the next round!
9. 3 points are given for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points earned. In case of equal points, additional indicators apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head match
10. In the last two rounds, draws are forbidden at the players' request!!!

11. Roads for templates:
Jebus cross - only fast
skirmish - slow and medium
Mirror and Mirror-Diamond - only medium
Anarchy - all roads
HL+U - only medium


12. On all templates, using the grail digging acceleration bug is forbidden.

III. Organizational Issues
1. The tournament is official and regular.
2. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament Lead — KobRa icq#(286406830), skype#(kobrarr),
whatsapp, viber, telegram (number in PM)
Tournament Judge and Co-Lead Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
Assistants — we'll manage on our own.
4. For each played game, participants must submit a report and confirmation
5. Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon first request by the tournament leads or any member of the AC.
6. Disputed points, if any arise, please discuss outside the forum, in PMs. For a resolution, you must contact the Lead or Tournament Judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. An appeal against the Judge's decision can and should be submitted to the AC, rather than starting a flame war in the thread — it will be immediately deleted and penalty points will be assigned.
7. All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread.
8. The final part of the tournament will be held using a round-robin (or group) system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other game resources are invited to the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are permitted (applications will be considered on an individual basis).
3. Recently registered players are not admitted to the tournament (exception — active players from other game resources; applications will be considered on an individual basis).
4. Players with a "Black Mark" (ЧМЧ) have no right to participate in the tournament. If any player is given a Black Mark during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who have repeatedly "blown off" tournaments may be rejected.
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without public explanation of reasons.
7. The Winner and 2nd-3rd place finishers of the FB-10 tournament are NOT admitted to the qualifiers (Gomunguls, Amster, LuckyF)

Why was it so difficult to wait a few more hours and properly adhere to the tournament rules regarding registration?
If the organizer wrote:

And even if the organizer uses clause
at any time that is inconvenient for them,
then where is the published, reasoned decision of the organizer about this?

And why does the judge announce the closure of registration instead of the organizer?
Why does the judge interfere in what could be called non-gameplay processes, i.e., exceed their authority?
Why is it so difficult to follow the rules of a civilized community and stick to previously made decisions, changing things without valid and substantial reasons?
Remark: Even if natural disasters are expected, an event is postponed to a later date in a civilized society, not earlier, right?
Respect players and yourselves.

Rebellious, you forgot to quote the most important part!
P.S. In general, I'm not surprised. Instead of calmly registering on any day during the almost month-long registration period or quietly sending a message via ICQ asking to extend the registration, you choose to create trouble on the forum and stage a scandal out of nowhere. And this is not the first (or last) time. Why do you need to do this? No one can understand! Is your soul craving to resist the system, or are you trying to live up to your nickname? (Translation from English: Rebellious - The One Who Rebels)

Well, 100 or 102, it doesn't make a difference for a Swiss-system tournament... I understand if it were 128 or 64... but this is just a nice round number...

Why, tournament after tournament, do you write down the rules, then change deadlines or something else in them, and then blame the players for dragging things out or waiting? If you set registration deadlines, stick to them clearly. This is a sign, this is a showcase. It’s so easy to follow it, but at the last moment you ruin it.
Expressing it in your language, Dirty made trouble primarily because he exceeded his authority and decided what would happen based on some kind of premonition. He created a problem out of thin air, violating everything possible.
Neither Dirty nor you were online in ICQ – who should I contact?
I will always cause a scandal if, due to stupidity or incompetence, the hosts or organizers allow violations and mistakes, especially with an unfair slant. And there's no need to see yourselves as gods; instead, accept criticism adequately. This is a natural mechanism – when one person makes a mistake, another corrects it, as much as possible. So that they don't become complacent and see the obvious.
Well, since we've moved on to nicknames, although this was quite predictable, now that there are no arguments left, look at your original nickname – are you really a snake and a loser? Or look at Dirty – did he deliberately provoke a dirty situation?

p.s. Regarding point
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
, as far as I understand, this point was simply copied from other regulations without any ulterior motive. There is no such ban in official tournaments; ask Dirty.
I submitted my application on time, and according to the rules, my post was correct.
And in the next post, I wrote a comment because I scrolled up the page and saw Dirty’s contradictory post about closing registration.
In any case, I would have written it, because I strongly dislike it when an organizer changes registration deadlines or doesn't clearly state them.

I would ask other moderators to move the discussion to the forum section.
As for the matter at hand, I usually have my ICQ on during weekdays and set it to invisible mode. My Skype contact information is also provided, as well as other ways to reach me, such as a personal message on the forum. The comment about "celestials" is funny. I offered to host a Tournament because there were no other volunteers, and the deadline was approaching. You still haven't explained why you waited until the last moment...?) For some reason, critics (there’s this type of player) see their “contribution” to the development of the Heroes community only in criticism; when it comes to specifics, they immediately disappear! And meanwhile, there is a catastrophic shortage of hosts.

As you said, it was copied from previous OFBs!
Here are the proofs: /topic/11318/
/topic/10883/
This means that everyone agrees with it because this point serves as an obstacle for players who often annoy other players and organizers.

I submitted my application on time, and my post was made according to the rules.
In the next post, I wrote a comment because I scrolled up the page and saw Dirty's contradictory post about closing registration.
Anyway, I would have written it because I strongly disapprove of when an organizer changes the registration deadlines or does not clearly state this moment.

Well, that’s what I’m saying – even before waiting for a response to your registration (most likely positive!), you immediately posted a critical message. So tell me, why do organizers need such a headache?

I register within the deadlines specified in the regulations. What am I doing wrong? But you change them on the last day.
Why write somewhere else and to someone else to sign up for the tournament if there is an official, current, and most efficient way to register through a special button? Which is what I did within the stipulated time.
I would have helped organize this tournament too, but I had some doubts...
I gladly help Tanya run her tournaments. There is efficiency, relevance, and clarity in covering the events; they register everyone, and there are even no real disputes that are resolved quickly without problems for either side.
As you put it, copied from previous OFB!..
Here’s proof: /topic/11318/
/topic/10883/
This means everyone is happy because this clause serves as a barrier to participation for players who often spoil the mood for other players and organizers.
So, it was also copy-pasted there.
In a conversation with Dirty (specifically regarding his refusal to let me register for some unofficial tournament, even without providing a public explanation), he told me that in fan tournaments, organizers can refuse, but not in official ones, except when there are objective reasons. And spoiling the mood is not a reason for refusal; it's just a reaction of people close to a choleric temperament. Well, then one should keep their nerves under control if they are an organizer. And one should refer to facts and actions, not to their emotional reaction.
