I. Rules and Templates.

1. Game Version. The tournament will be held on version SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod of the latest current version + HW_rulez 1.38 (when a new actual patch is released, this rule must be changed).
2. The main innovation! All XL templates used in the tournament (five): 8mm6a,8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a(8xm8b), Spider.
will be placed in one file-template rmg.txt. Players use this file when generating the map, which includes all XL templates without template labeling (it won't be visible when viewing game information).
In the game it will look like this:

Download and unzip the zip archive (at the bottom of the topic) to the root folder with the game (8xm8b was used instead of 8xm8a).

3. Castle selection: random pair + trade.
The host generates a pair of random castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins as compensation to the opponent. If at least one castle is repeated during regeneration, that same player may (but is not obligated) request a free regeneration until a new pair of castles appears.
4. After trading for a castle, there is a trade for color. To speed up the negotiation process, the red color starts the bidding in the table.
5. The total number of restarts is 3 days, i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113.
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast.
8. Guild Hall rebuilding option enabled.
9. Library in "Tower" allowed.
10. Timeframe for one game – 2 weeks (explanation for those who need it: you must adhere to the gameplay schedule – 1 game every 2 weeks; if you started a game with an opponent, then the time frame for this game is 2 weeks; if the opponent ignores or refuses to finish the game within the specified period without valid reasons, you have the right to demand that an ODD be assigned; in case of non-appearance, the opponent receives a technical defeat).

II. Regulations

Stage 1 – Groups

Two players with the highest number of points advance from the group.
In case of equal points, places are distributed according to additional indicators (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. If it is impossible to determine which players will advance to the playoffs based on previous indicators, the players will be offered a scheme for transition games. At the moment, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that develops in the groups at the end of the stage.

Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0; draw – 1 point (counted at stage 211+ at the discretion of the organizers).

The group stage ends on June 6, 2018
(no saves or replays will be accepted, results will be posted based on submitted tournament reports)

Stage 2 – Olympic System

On June 21, 2018, the playoff draw will take place.

Two players who took 1st and 2nd places from the groups advance and are randomly distributed into the bracket.
Games in the playOff stage are played according to the bо3 system (3-4 weeks).

III. Organizational Issues

1. The tournament starts on March 29, 2018, registration for the tournament is open until March 26 inclusive, up to 24:00 Moscow time (March 27-28 - determination of the final regulations of the tournament, group draw) 16 groups of 7 people = 112 people
2. The tournament is official.
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. Tournament host – rebellious (ICQ 345870761), organizational issues and media support – YaR (ICQ 287407342).
5. Tournament judge – Dima Surmay (ICQ 263293484).
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Media coverage of the tournament will be provided by player YaR – organization of mutual streaming of games and video reviews. Registration for the tournament means consent to use your streams to popularize the tournament.
8. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal under his avatar and a ticket to the FB tournament :smile20:

It would be interesting to hear the opinions of Rebel and Dirty themselves, as the host and judge – are they willing to consider any reasonable suggestions regarding the Regulations? There are basically two main scenarios: 1) There were no candidates to host the tournament, and Rebel volunteered to do it as is, following last year's rules, without much thought. The main goal is to hold the tournament. In this case, we just "smile and wave," and "thank you that (the tournament) is alive" (and sober FTS has already written everything :D). 2) There were candidates, and Rebel was chosen as the person who is willing to think more than the other candidates. There is hope for this because there are words like this:
March 27-28 – final determination of the tournament regulations
In this case, it even makes sense to come up with something now, before the registration ends.

Are you starting another group stage again?
What's wrong with the mini-double elimination system (2 wins to advance)?
It's much better than forcing unmotivated players to use certain tech trees in the third round!
Unmotivated... you mean to say that all players who sign up for a tournament are capable of winning it?
Many players, including myself, participate in tournaments to have the opportunity to play with players they wouldn't normally get to play with during regular tournaments!
On average, 1 person from each group drops out, often due to problems or circumstances, which is not surprising, as Heroes 3 tournaments are breaking all records for their duration.

Yeah, not only is it another tournament with a long, boring, and unnecessary group stage, but there's also a random element in the playoffs, with best-of-one matches for аж 2 rounds, which already makes participating in it not very appealing. And now, they've added another random element with a random map, and it doesn't matter that the cost of castles varies greatly depending on the map.
It's all very sad, despite my love for HLKAs, I definitely don't want to participate in this.
Isn't there enough tournaments for top players?
It seems like every other tournament is for the elite... let other players have a chance to play the game, instead of being eliminated after the first loss.

Regarding the random map selection, I wouldn't mind if there was at least a choice or a draft/trade system for the players.
