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:

...According to what rules did I end up in the second bracket, and approximately Yan-Vas in the first? I would like to know.
If we analyze it in detail, the rating is just an indicator. If there are indeed 6-9 top players, someone has to fill the remaining slots. The results of the previous tournament of this kind were also taken into account.

That's why we are theoretically ranked.
First, confirm your 3 reports of losses, and then we'll see which bracket you fall into :D

GG, thanks for the game. The Ultra Chocolate failed me; no matter how hard I tried to ruin it, I couldn't. 5 Cons, 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Lizard external dwellings, Wystan with three stacks at 111, Dimension Door scroll at respawn, shackles in the treasure. On turn 127, a level 5 dwelling appeared, and then I see my opponent dive into the treasure adjacent to my respawn. I was one move short of reaching him on turn 127, but I caught him the next turn. 9 Angels, 30 Ducks against 200 Skeletons and growth easily carried it. Wystan and Tazar showed good growth.

gg, thanks for the game. The ultra-chocolate [ultrashokolad] gave out, no matter how hard I tried to ruin it — I couldn't. 5 cons [conservatories? consult the game context], 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 external dwellings of Lizardmen, Wystan with three stacks at 111, a Dimension Door scroll at respawn, shackles in the treasure [tower? location]. On 127 the 5th tower [vyshka] went up, and then I see my opponent dive into the treasure [trezha] adjacent to my spawn, I was one move short of reaching him on 127, but caught him on the next turn. 9 angels, 30 dragonflies against 200 skeletons and growth easily pulled it off. Wystan and Tazar showed good leveling.

My team consists of Amster, me, and Bubuch, which I think is a pretty decent lineup compared to other teams.
Do you really want to play 5 rounds against only beginners?
I didn't sign up for this tournament for many reasons, mainly because most of the groups aren't very interesting (and also because of the general template file, of course). I think you're actually quite lucky in that regard.

It's no secret that hosts have been able to edit random map generators (RMGs) since the technology was introduced. Back in the day, they even played with chaos rules, where there was one RMG for three templates. Why is this issue being raised specifically in this tournament? :confused: Well, if someone is willing to cross the fine line of cheating, nothing stops them from watching streams, editing templates, cracking passwords, etc. In the past, they even played without passwords.

Added after 30 seconds

Why not in the third game? :confused:

To gain an advantage from modifying the text file for a specific template, you need to understand something about generation. I think most people, like me, don't understand anything about it. Therefore, although this possibility theoretically exists in any game, in practice it is difficult and the risk of being caught is much higher.

In this specific case, the situation is significantly different. You don't need any knowledge of generation to simply change the name without touching the template. As far as I understand, it is extremely difficult to detect this, if it is even possible - the template is generated absolutely correctly.

I want to believe that there are some ways to detect the use of this trick that are not widely known. But will someone who knows check the generations after the game? I doubt it...
