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:

Why don’t we use a ranking system for the draw? Like in football or tennis. The best players should meet in the final stages of the tournament for the sake of the audience.

And what is the absurdity? Too many ones? - Or maybe too few? They also had to be from groups number 1 and 11.
What difference does it make to the winner?
Eliminate the competitor in the bud or cry over the defeat at the end? And they also played against each other in other tournaments, and not so long ago. Should this have been taken into account too?
But you could have enhanced the tournament experience for the player kamukag3e by filling the free slot yourself. And then you could have noticed that there have been no preferences for 1st place in the group in the tournament for a long time. And on the other hand (a recent example), look at how Liverpool and Real reached the Champions League final.

The absurdity is that the longer the intrigue in the tournament lasts, the better. And here you are pitting two favorites (who also took 1st place in their groups) against each other in the very first round.
And what does it mean "could have enhanced the tournament experience for the player kamikadze"? Are you suggesting that I, who didn't play in the group stage, should just jump into the playoffs?:smile04:

The draw based on ranking was used in the group stage, as is also done in sports. After the group stage, for example, in the Champions League, the first-place team from one group plays against the second-place team from another group. In our case, the first and second places were mixed.
Last year's Champions League finalists, Juventus and Real Madrid, met in the quarter-finals, although nothing prevented them from meeting in the round of 16 (immediately after the group stage, but unfortunately, both teams only finished second in their groups).

The absurdity lies in the fact that the longer the intrigue lasts in a tournament, the better. But here you are pitting two favorites against each other (who also took 1st place in their groups) in the very first round.
And what does it mean to "enhance the player's experience for a kamikaze"? Are you suggesting that I, who didn't play in the group stage, should just jump into the playoffs?:smile04:

Read again what you wrote :) The first sentence.
Suggest playing Bo5 with Mizrael within a week? It will be as easy as Blitz’s passage.
Favorites are favorites, but three of them were eliminated along the way. Another one squeezed in.

But separating the winners of the groups is quite reasonable. But suddenly they got worried when fate affected the viewers or something else.

‼‼ Important information.

I decided to double-check the draw once more since there was manual work involved. An error has been found. It has been corrected. There are changes in the 4th and 5th pairs from the top.

How the draw was made.
This is a screenshot of the randomizer result.

Perfect leveling of Craig and Aynan + bird external dwelling in the side treasure zone + Dragon Utopia 2-slot with Speaker's Hat + fast Town Portal in the Tower same-game decided the outcome of the match in my favor. Thanks for the game!

‼‼ Important ‼‼

I was asked which group the player free belongs to. ;)

A proposal for players who have played (or started playing) all the required group games and have 9 points.
These players are Ihromant, Mercurial-, twaryna, Dima Surmay, and Georg_.
The idea is a mini-tournament consisting of semi-finals and a final, with the winner taking the position of player free. If everyone agrees, one player will be randomly selected. The matches should be played as quickly as possible. Please let me know via private message or here. I will draw the pairings immediately.
