Regulations
Rules.

Before starting the game, enable the following options:

4. Template selection is done using a standard method. The loser flips a coin to start the process.
5. City selection is determined by trading from a pair of random cities. If two identical castles are generated, they must be regenerated.
On mirrored templates, the city is determined by a randomizer before the game, followed by a trade for the hero. All mage heroes are allowed; there are no bans.
Each player has the right to regenerate the pair of cities (on mirrors - one city) once at their own request, paying 500 coins to their opponent. At the same time, the player who pays 500 gold may impose a ban on generating one of the cities.
6. Color choice is determined by bidding. Red rush is allowed on all templates.
7. Restarts total 3 days (111+111+111 or 111+112 or 113). When playing on mirrored templates, restarts are 111.
8. Road settings:
2SM4d(3) - all roads;

4. Within the time frame of each round, it is necessary to provide a report on the completed game in the tournament topic for accounting purposes. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in either a technical result or a score of 0-0 being awarded in the matches.
5. In the group stage, 3 points are awarded for winning a game, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
Places are determined based on the number of points scored.
In case of a tie in points, additional criteria apply in order of priority:
1) Head-to-head;
2) Berger coefficient;
3) If it is impossible to prioritize according to additional criteria between players, a tiebreaker match is played on the skirmish m-200 template (the "Battle of Mages" option remains in effect).
Prizes and OХ.
Prizes: The winner of the tournament receives the status of "dad" in the online lobby for one year, as well as a place in FB-13 (if at least 64 participants register for the tournament).
Since one of the prizes is a paid year in the lobby, OХ will be mandatory by default in all playoff games.
The required OХ time:
115 - for 2SM4d(3)
116 - for Diamond, 6lm10a, Spider, 8xm12a, 8xm8a
117 - for Jebus Cross, Mirror Jebus Cross, h3dm1
By mutual agreement, it is not forbidden to play without OХ in the playoffs; playing with OХ in the group stage is also welcome. Refusal to play with OХ in the playoff stage may be grounds for receiving a technical defeat.
Come on, friends! It's time to find out who the coolest mage is in 2019 :cool:
