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:

Please assign an ODD (Online Duel Decider) to finish the second game with Jelen117. I am ready to play at the standard game time.
I'm tired of trying to arrange it myself. I don't get a response to half of the messages, and it's also not possible to schedule the game in advance - the opponent either doesn't respond, or responds a whole day later, or says "I have a lot of games and things to do."
When did the problem arise?
Why are you reporting this 2 days before the end of the round?

I haven't had any problems. I'm playing in only one tournament and always make every effort to play the games on time.
I was hoping to manage it this time as well.
At the moment, we've agreed to continue tomorrow evening.

This is the second game on this save; the score will most likely be 1-1. I don't know when we'll be able to play the third game, as our schedules don't align well. I'm available from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM (Moscow time), and he's available from 10:00 PM (Moscow time). I'm not ready to commit to playing every evening for an hour or two.

The same problem exists with finishing the De_Luxe game - graalzzz. It's just in an even more severe form. The second game hasn't been finished (although the possible outcome of 1-1 after its completion is acknowledged). Since their future opponent, caliban, has no objections, a date is set for August 4th (Saturday) at 17:00 Moscow time for this match. If either player is absent for more than 1 hour after the set time, it will be considered a technical defeat. The minimum playtime is 5 hours. You will start a new game. If you agree to play, you can do so at any time. The winner advances. I expect a report on the game on the 6th. Otherwise, the winner will be determined based on the strength of the kingdom's army: cool: Accordingly, for the Jelen117 - matador pair, I also expect final reports on August 6th.

Thank you for the game.
The opponent played well, and my attempts to turn the game into a late-game scenario were thwarted. Although I had a lot of supports, an elixir, and was building a lot of archers early in the second month (if I had found the money, but I took many Nagas), the opponent realized that the game needed to be finished as quickly as possible. And on turn 144, they attacked with 1600 skeletons, 100 monarchs, and huge stats on Galthran, with +4 speed and +1 HP. That's too much. Thank you for the game, and good luck in the future.

I'm asking the organization to give us a little more time; I'll talk to Kaliban.

The problem is that neither of you wants to negotiate. One doesn't want to negotiate in principle, and the other doesn't want to because of carelessness. One doesn't inform about problems at all, and the other writes about them 2 days before the end of the tour.
It is unclear how much time Caliban will give you, and only he knows. This will all be deducted from his time for the new tour, and he should write about it here. At the same time, the deadlines for the new tour will not be extended for him. These are the conditions.
And I don't know if your opponent is aware of your innovation.
All three of you, state your positions in the posts below by 17:00 Moscow time on Saturday, August 4th.
If there is no clear position, the odd man out rule will apply.

The 1/16 round of the tournament has concluded.

The participants Falcone, Antiplayer, Dima Surma, and caliban have advanced further in the bracket compared to last year's tournament. matador99 has reached the playoffs for the first time, and saneok is a tournament newcomer(!). Furthermore, the current quarterfinal pairings are entirely different.
This also means that there will be a new winner in the XL tournaments, marking the fifth entry in its history.

If players provide accurate information in the reports, the 6LM10a template continues to dominate, although there has been some averaging in the number of games played on other templates.

If players provide accurate information in the reports, then the 6LM10a template still dominates.
It's easy to guess why this happened, even though there are 5 templates in the pool.
