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:

I created the HL tournament the way I wanted to see and play it, and whether to participate in it or pass it by is YOUR decision! And criticizing people who organize tournaments out of enthusiasm is not a plus for YOU.

I myself am a big fan of improvements, but I think we should thank Scorpiona for organizing tournaments for both Люб and HL.

If Scorpiona sees the tournament this way, then there is no need to overcomplicate things.

Those who want to improve things should organize and run their own tournament as they see fit.

In fact, BO-3 is a questionable event; unlike BO-1, it would require allocating a month and a half for each BO-3 round.

According to the Regulations, I will write down what I personally consider important.

I really liked the idea of a fixed schedule for rounds in the Favorites. I would like this to be the case here as well, if there are large groups (6+ people). Sometimes it can be a bit stressful, but overall it helps protect the group stage from being postponed until later. Moreover, deviations from this schedule within reasonable limits are allowed in practice.

I agree, it's convenient, and I think it's good for everyone except those who are lazy.

Why does this always happen? Let's say I sold a castle for a high price, and the color scheme benefits me – why would I want to restart it? :rolleyes: I'm actually fine with anarchy and having three castles. :)

Regarding the regulations, I still don't understand: why isn't the Nostalgia template used in tournaments? By the way, you can add a Russel-mix to it now to make it more balanced.

Taking this opportunity, I wish the organizers good luck in finding good judges to replace Dirty. I was surprised that many skilled players refused to act as judges in the One for All tournament (but Cobra immediately agreed). And the respected LuckyF also refused. But he quickly figured out how to criticize the organizers in this thread.
Yeah, why isn't Nostalgia used?

Why not organize similar tournaments with a small entry fee? 300-500 rubles, which would go towards rewarding the organizers and judges, and to create a prize pool. I think this would solve many problems: it would address the issue of finding organizers, and participants would be more responsible, and sponsors would be more interested.

And here's another, much more significant feature regarding the Regulations.
If there were two parallel grids – like in Blitz-Jebus – SoD and HotA, I would undoubtedly and without regret choose to participate only in HotA, as I wouldn't have time for two such tournaments on Online-HL.

Regarding the prize pool, everyone wants to play, but they understand that many people don't have a good chance of making it into the top three, and they probably wouldn't want to sponsor it. As for the entry fee for the host, that's a good idea, and I've been thinking about it for a while, but there's a problem there too: people often criticize and have complaints about the hosts anyway, and if they pay money, there will be even more complaints.

Everyone can play, but not everyone can win. More precisely, everyone can win, but not everyone will be able to.
