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:

There is a reason. The round time has ended. The pair did not play. These are two players, one of whom remains active in the tournament thread and in the dialogue with the judge.
The other is not, and this is a fact known to the judge.

As for the opponent, he didn't write to me - neither in ICQ nor in a private message...

The second player is out because he essentially ignored the tournament and the judge. L - Logic.

There is a valid reason. The round time has ended. The match was not played. These are two players, one of whom remains active in the tournament thread and in dialogue with the judge.
The second one does not, and this is a fact known to the judge.

The second player is out because, in reality, they have given up on the tournament and the judge. L - Logic.

What if Caliban is holding the opponent hostage, simulating their online presence and preventing them from withdrawing?

what if Caliban is holding his opponent hostage, simulating his presence online and preventing him from unsubscribing?

in that case, Toga has every reason, as compensation for the time spent in the Admiral's brig, to demand that the victory in the CIS region be reassigned to him.

If we delve into the depths of logic.
The first (an experienced player already?) reported the fact after the event (the end of the round), and the second one is completely silent. That is, there are grounds for both. We are not engaging in cannibalism, especially since there is another problematic pair. The information from the first post has been accepted, but it has not been verified because there are no logs. I assume that the second one might suddenly appear and say that they had no correspondence with their opponent. And then both would be out.
And we can give bonus points for activity in the thread (increase their reputation) if anything.

I apologize to the participants and organizers of the tournament; I was forced to withdraw. A number of urgent matters have taken me away from the game for a couple of months. I immediately informed my opponent, but I apparently made a mistake by not posting it in the tournament thread as well.

I quickly gained full control and took the castle with a Grand Mage from my opponent; he wandered around for a bit and decided to surrender. I had assembled the AOTD (Artifact of the Titans) and my army was stronger. In the utopia where I wanted to go, there was a Knight. Thanks for the game!

I saw the opponent's Tower town through a scouting overview and immediately understood they were building a Mage Guild. When their resources suddenly ran low, I decided to attack. Luck smiled upon me since, during the starting phase and without mana, there was Ciele with one bird and artifacts. The opponent had great potential — the map was well-scouted, there were many Dragon Fly Hives and conservatories with a built Town Portal. Overall, everything worked out well! Thanks for the game!

After all my rests and two from the opponent, a spider was rolled. A quite pleasant layout with a bunch of cool heroes (Necro Nimbus, Gunnar, Ciel) and good road connectivity. I started going Necro since there were many necro-guards. In the middle of week 2, Ciel reaches level 2, gets Earth Magic, and after trading unnecessary artifacts in the converter, I promote her. I take the green one - a double. Griffin Conservatory 1 is taken with 140 bones. On my 117, I see the opponent on my respawn - moreover, he appeared suddenly because there was a block of 10-19 groups of eyes that I hadn't broken through. A turn before that, I placed Castle in the town since I planned to set up bears. I ask the opponent to save his own first and then load, as we were playing with OH. He naturally takes my main. I had a chain of several heroes near the town, so I cut two of his heroes in the chain to slow him down by a day and deprive him of reinforcements. His money situation was extremely bad, unlike mine, where Ciel experted Earth and dismantled a 4-piece Nagash set. I plan to double mana in the Dungeon village and, depending on the opponent's actions, either attack him or take Griffin Conservatory 2-4. But the opponent rushes me, cuts my pawn, and puts himself in a vulnerable position. His army is small since reinforcements from the new week didn't happen, and Aislin is almost out of mana. A surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!

Not a bad map, had plenty of gold and 2 pike dwellings so I didnt restart, even though no might heroes and fortress ai. On day 6 I bought crag and started leveling him up, took +2speed and then really tough fight in maxi cons 122. Almost 100 halberdiers did very nice damage and griffins got only 1 morale so I survived with 17 halberdiers. On this same turn I scouted center with Caitlin and stumbled upon Aislinn with some fast units. This was key moment because I forced him to retreat and I took control of the map, because blue had bad roads. Thanks for playing!
