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:

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

Many people play Heroes, but FTS wins.

Please register me for the tournament.

Why not organize similar tournaments with a small entry fee? 300-500 rubles, which would go towards rewarding the organizers and judges, and creating 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.
Then, the prize pool could be structured like in poker. Or even better, 20% of the entry fees could go towards the prizes, which would be a good amount. Because, yes, the top 3 will almost always be the same players.

Why does this always happen? Let's say I sold a Castle and a color for a high price, and it's beneficial for me to play 8xm8a; why would I want to restart it? :rolleyes: Besides, I'm also fine with anarchy and having three Castles. :)

Regarding the rules, I've been confused for years: why isn't the Nostalgia template used in tournaments? By the way, you can add 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, for example). And the respected LuckyF also refused. But he was quick to offer criticism of the organizers in this thread.
This reminds me of how, in the comments, people discuss the flaws of a book, and someone, in defense, responds with something like: "You write something like that first..."
But to the point, I wasn't interested in the One for All tournament from the beginning; there are many features that I don't like, so I didn't participate in that thread with comments, criticism, or registration, and I was very surprised when I was offered to judge it. This tournament, in general, is interesting to me, but there are a few provisions in the rules that, in my opinion, spoil it. Why can't I express this with the hope that, if not in this tournament, then maybe in the next one, such suggestions will be taken into account, and I can play in a tournament that is completely interesting to me?
And I'll repeat once again, I understand that there are few organizers, and respect to those who even just take on this task, but at the same time, I would still like to see good implementation in interesting endeavors.

How we love to make ourselves comfortable, so that nothing rubs or irritates us.

Does the fact that you are from St. Petersburg justify you, and thanks to Makarevich, "One day the world will bend to us"?

As one character said, everything you said before the word BUT is worthless.

How much we love ourselves, wanting everything to be comfortable and not rub anywhere.

Does the fact that you're from St. Petersburg and the line from Makarevich's song, "One day the world will bend to us," excuse you?

So, you like it when others are uncomfortable? I don't need to be excused; I just stated the facts here, but you jumped in to play the role of a lawyer...

If there were two parallel grids – like in Blitz-Jebus – SoD and HotA, then without a doubt and without regret, I would sign up for only one of these two tournaments on Only-HL, and that would be HotA.

Well, to be honest, this OZV tournament wasn't interesting to me from the start. There are many features that I don't like, so I didn't get involved in that topic with comments, criticism, or registration, and I was very surprised when I was offered to judge it.

You were invited to judge as the captain of the finalist team. It's a given: if you played in the final of the tournament, it means it was interesting to you.

As for the example with the book – I also don't like the argument like "achieve something first," because everyone is different, and for most people, not writing a book is the best thing they can do for humanity. But it's easier with a tournament, and believe me, any experienced, good player can organize a tournament; they just need the desire to spend their time on it.
