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)

Guys and Girls, I see that there are abuses regarding the mandatory time rule, so this rule is canceled starting from the 2nd round, and a default rule is introduced: if you can't agree on a game within 2 weeks, both players will receive a technical loss. I don't want to deal with your squabbles in a tournament with 100+ participants, honestly, those who want to play will find the time.
In exceptional cases, if there is a language or cognitive barrier, write to me, and I will try to help you find a time that suits both of you.

What kind of abuse could there be here? The mandatory time was announced before the start of the tournament; if you signed up, be ready to play. Those who are not ready will receive a technical loss; what's abusive about that? :smile32:

What kind of abuse could there be here? A mandatory time was announced before the tournament started; if you signed up, be ready to play. If you're not ready, why is that considered abuse? :smile32:

Let me explain: there are some particularly cunning participants who can play at different times, but first, they ask their opponent when they are available. After receiving the answer – that they are available every day except Saturday – they suddenly say, "Oh, I can only play on Saturday," and want a technical defeat for their opponent. Isn't that abuse?!!

Can you give a specific example of the abuse? How could anyone "abuse" such a wonderful idea?
It's sad. The first tournament was where almost all the scheduling problems were resolved at the Regulations stage, and then, after only one round, it stopped? :confused:
Kobra, I'm sure that providing any tool for scheduling will create controversial situations (or rather, it will highlight them, because controversial situations already exist objectively), but how did you come up with the idea that it's better to give technical defeats to both players, including the one who was ready to play? :smile32:

I already wrote that for those who can't agree in any way, I can assign an odd time, and if one player writes to me that they are always ready to play, and the other disappears or doesn't respond, then, of course, this is interpreted in favor of the first player. Don't worry, common sense hasn't been canceled :) it's just that the mandatory time on Saturday night is canceled, and complete freedom is given to agree on any time during these 2 weeks. I don't want to name the players right now; many already know who they are.

Well, it's all within the rules, so what's the big deal? :D
The real question is: why sign up for a tournament with a mandatory time on Saturday if you can't play on Saturday? :rolleyes:

In the Regulations, as I understand it, it was previously stated that in this case, the player who was available on the first Saturday would have the right to choose the time for the next game. (At least Dirty mentioned this in his post in this thread recently).
And if, as you wrote, the other opponent can play at any other time. How can they suffer? :eek:

I asked for a specific example that actually happened, with all the relevant details. Names aren't even necessary in this case. In the example you provided, there is neither abuse nor even a problem.

Well, everything is within the rules, what's so special about it? :D
The real question is: why sign up for a tournament with a mandatory time on Saturday if you can't play on Saturday? :rolleyes:

And why sign up for a tournament if 20%+ of participants withdraw even before the first round? These are all rhetorical questions, and I hope that the Tournament Committee (when it wakes up or comes back from vacation :D) will solve these problems soon. It's better to have fewer, but reliable participants.

I asked for a specific example, with all the significant details, as it happened in real life. Nicknames are not needed in this case. In the example you provided, there is neither abuse nor even a problem.

Does anyone else think the same? Maybe I have problems with logic, I want to know :D

It’s better to have fewer, but reliable participants.
That’s a utopia. This is a gaming community, which means that almost everyone here is, in one way or another, unreliable and lazy. At least half of the community is unable to plan their lives for 3-4 days ahead. So, solving the scheduling problems in a way that no one is inconvenienced is simply impossible.
The question is, which group will the regulations protect – those who are actually capable of planning and coordinating, or those who don’t care about anything in life?

However, I’ve been thinking about it for the last hour or so, and you’re probably right about canceling the mandatory first Saturday. :D

You really need to attend the next meeting; you'll see that it's not like that. Most of the people I know personally have other activities and jobs besides Heroes, and for many, it's a hobby, albeit a lifelong one. :)
I guarantee that there will be "rabbits" who will try to play and won't avoid the game, so get your logs ready; we'll be digging through them with KoFD. :D
This is already progress. :smile12:

I support Cobra. I will also get technical support in the first round, as I can't play specifically on weekends right now, but I can play on five weekdays – yes. It's a pity.

Everything was going well at first, but it turned out there was only one road and the opponent was already running right at the exit of it. I collected hives and found 2 Dragon Utopia in a nearby treasure zone; I gathered quite a few ducks and took them easily, which gave me stats and an air book. The game had momentum, but the opponent decided to surrender.
Thanks for the game.

At the start things were going fine, but it turned out there was only one road, and the first opponent was already waiting at its exit. I collected the hives and near the treasure zone found 2 Dragon Utopias; I gathered quite a few dragons, easily took them, and they gave me stats and the Air spell book. The game was going well, but the opponent decided to surrender.
Thanks for the game.
I confirm.
Played the 1st week well, took the castle, a couple of secondary heroes, and found a Griffin Conservatory with 1 angel. But from the 2nd week on it was a dead end and a series of mistakes.
Thanks for the game!
