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 were chances if they had given Dimension Door immediately after Town Portal—then I would have intercepted the opponent's Mage Guild, but no miracle happened and I didn't want to get involved in a low-prospect late game. Thanks for the game!

The semi-final matches are approaching, or rather, the semi-final. Since one finalist has already been determined. The tournament newcomer, saneok, completed all his matches ahead of schedule, although he advanced from the group stage due to the withdrawal of the favorites from the tournament, but he then defeated worthy opponents.

One match has not been completed. There may be a slight extension of the deadline (no more than a week) for it, with the agreement of the player De_Luxe, which would affect his games.

A date for the replay of the second game between HellLighT and Dima Surmay is set for tomorrow, Thursday, September 6, 2017 at 18:00 Moscow time.
The game must be played for at least 5 hours. Failure of a player to appear or a delay of more than one hour will result in a technical defeat.

An interesting decision from the tournament organizers, who unilaterally scheduled the ODD (Overdue Duel Day) on a weekday without asking the player about the time... I can't play at that time, but judging by my conversation with my opponent, he can only play then... well done, this is more like a punishment than an ODD. :smile12:
p.s. Please schedule the ODD for the third game; I am available on Friday and Saturday until 2 PM Moscow time and on Sunday after 2 PM Moscow time.

I keep looking at how some organizers appoint ODDs (Overdue Date Declarations) and I'm amazed. Sometimes an ODD is appointed simply after chatting with one of the players, and sometimes not even after talking to anyone... To appoint an ODD, you need to at least ask both sides who and when they can play, while also looking for a compromise. There are clinical cases where one of the players has disappeared, but the organizer still appoints an ODD – that's just outrageous. Some players have started to abuse ODDs. After disappearing for a week, they show up towards the end of the second week (sometimes on the last day) and ask for an ODD!! As if they couldn't coordinate (forgetting to mention the reason). And what? Maybe it will work?

There are individual cases where opponents communicate with each other, and then one of them asks for an ODD at a time when they know the other cannot play.

Maybe it's worth simply writing down the procedure for appointing OD dates in the rules? Then neither the organizers nor the players will have any questions.

Maybe it would be helpful to simply include the procedure for appointing a Designated Defender in the rules? That way, neither the organizers nor the players would have any questions.
That's a good question, but I don't think it's straightforward and requires a separate discussion. Personally, I don't see a universal solution at the moment.

P.S. And what does ODD stand for? "Really want a Defender from the first building"?:D :D

Currently, there are no reports for 11 games. Pairs for which I have no information are highlighted in bold.

Grizvald vs Huanito - game started
Montt vs herolwy
Dust_HL vs twaryna - game not started and, judging by all, will not be started
rebellious vs =Lizard=
ProtosArchon vs Vladimir_Ospa
bubuch vs sonic111

kamukag3e vs Alin - there is a request for a reschedule
Blitz vs MoxuTo - game started
u2noob vs alkaposha
Los vs Toganash - game started
Vinceras vs o1dboy79

I remind you that today is the last day to submit complaints about opponents and requests for reschedules. At 10:00 PM on Sunday, August 5th, the draw for the next round will be made.

That's a good question, but I think it's not simple and requires a separate discussion. Personally, I don't see a universal solution yet.
But one is needed; otherwise, imagine a situation where, on the last day, all 11 pairs that haven't played in the group stage request a reschedule, and the organizer has to manage and coordinate all 22 players? In my opinion, there should be a clear rule: either both players suggest a convenient time, and if it doesn't match, the organizer schedules the reschedule at the most convenient time for the majority - which would be an evening on the weekend.

I have all the recipes for handling any situation in Online Duels (and they have been tested in practice many times) – whether it's for organizers or players – write to me in a private message, and I will answer specific questions if you can't come up with a good solution. You decide for yourselves if this is really the best option. In all cases, I proceed based on the principles that both players should be in equal conditions, and both players should clearly and unambiguously offer enough time to play the game. In addition, I am always ready to question my own ideas if there is something to criticize, and look for a better solution.
This topic goes far beyond the scope of this tournament, and I believe that the community is not ready for an open discussion of this topic, so everything should be discussed in private messages. Everything needs to be rechecked and refined for now.

In this situation, it was very difficult for me to come to such a decision.
Even earlier, and in the previous round, players showed a habit of addressing the problem of deadlines the day before the round ended. When it is already pointless to complain and absurd to ask anything. In this pair of players, Dima contacted me the day before the end of the round with a problem. But why exactly at this time, and not earlier? As Dark constantly did. Moreover, this is only their second game on a save. In essence, there were all the reasons to credit both players with a technical defeat - there are no reports, and Hell apparently had no problems at all, since he did not contact me. If this suited both players, what were they hoping for? They were given an extra week to finish the game, with the agreement of the next semi-finalist. But the players still could not agree. At the same time, only Dima Surmay contacted me. This means that Helllight was not at all interested in resolving the situation. I need the match to end somehow by the will of the players. But if they don't want to. And one side does not provide arguments.
The second or third Odd round would be scheduled for the weekend. And again, it's not ideal, but that's how it is. But the players are leaning towards disqualifying both of them. Relying on the fact that this is the semi-final, and therefore more time can be given to the players, is not very convincing, since both are playing - including in the season. And showing disrespect to other players is also not permissible; one must somehow understand the measure.
