"only XL-5"

[/CENTER]

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 ideas regarding the Regulations?

There are basically two options.
1) There were no candidates to host the tournament, and Rebel volunteered to host it as is, following last year's rules, without thinking too much about it. The main thing is to
hold it. Then, "we smile and wave," "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 these.

Then, it even makes sense to come up with something now, before the registration ends.
Rebel is the person who carried the entire burden of organizing and scoring the tournament for two seasons. And if I miss a season of my tournament, I trust Rebelius specifically!!!!!
I created the HL tournament the way I wanted to see and play it, and whether you participate in it or pass it by is your business! And criticizing people who run tournaments out of enthusiasm is not a plus for YOU.

Are the Tournaments not enough for the top players? It seems like every other Tournament is for the elite... Give other players a chance to play the game, instead of being eliminated after the first loss.

We can express the same idea in a different way. Indeed, every other Tournament provides an opportunity to have fun in the group stage without the fear of being quickly eliminated – Favorites, Newcomer, Mirror-Jebus, Game of Thrones, One for All. Every other one, seriously! There are already quite a few of these Tournaments.

The question (which, just in case, I'm not the one raising :D) is whether Only-XL should be like this, where even players with 1800+ rating have a good chance of getting into a grueling battle that lasts into the second month, and newbies like me almost always end up in this super-late game because they simply didn't have enough skill to win earlier. :smile05:
And the question is whether it's necessary to make an already difficult and exhausting Tournament even more exhausting. After all, it's still a Tournament, its goal is not to "play to the death," but to identify the strongest player; you can simply play in the season or in a fun game.

On the contrary, I suggest that if the discussion is not needed, stop all the chatter immediately by stating once that it is useless; no one will listen to it anyway.
It's just that the phrase from the Regulations that I quoted about March 27-28 leaves the door open for discussions.

Learn to enter the door politely! And offer constructive suggestions, instead of being rude to the organizer.

Alphein, if we follow this line of reasoning, then the tournament name is incorrect year after year. Because the templates here are HL+U, not just HL. It's the same as saying "upgraded archers," "zvonit," "Belarus," etc.

Just reread what I wrote.
The constructive suggestion was that Rebel/Dirty should share their opinion regarding the discussions about the Regulations.
There was no rudeness at all. You don't need to perceive every phrase as sarcasm directed at you, or as a reproach. It can also be taken literally. The sarcasm was directed at those who started discussing the regulations without first finding out if this idea even has a chance of success.
If there are any remaining ambiguities, I suggest clarifying them in a private message.

P.S. Lizard, I didn't understand what connection there is to what I wrote. I suggest not continuing, or, if it's something important, then also start with a private message.

Those who are unhappy, just move on... But in general, the idea of using only the xl template is great!
I see that no one wanted to invest in the organization, but there are plenty of critics... That's not good, gentlemen :(

Are there not enough tournaments for top players? It seems like every other tournament is only for the elite. Give other players a chance to play the game, instead of being eliminated after the first loss.

How does this relate to the fact that after a long (4 months) and, in many ways, very predictable group stage, there are only 2 best-of-one playoff rounds? Or did other players play with the "elite" for these 4 months, get eliminated, and now the "elite" can just flip a coin a couple of times before moving on to a more reasonable stage with best-of-three matches, since the deadline is approaching after these preliminary 4 months, right?

I'm responding to the comment about the group stage tournament. This stage is important and interesting in its own way. + There are 100+ participants in the tournament, so having the minimum number of players from each group advance to the next stage of the playoff tournament is the ideal option in the shortest amount of time. At the same time, the participants choose a convenient time for the game and the opponent (the method of controlling this stage remains open for discussion).

Best-of-3 is being discussed with the tournament organizer.

P.S. Based on the results of the HL tournaments, the winners can by no means be called "winners by coin flip":smile20:
