We are launching a tournament on the Anarchy map based on numerous requests.
"Outlaw 4!"

I. General Questions.
1. The tournament will be held on the Anarchy map in two brackets, with 160% and 200% settings, provided there is enough participation. Playing other maps without rules is allowed if both players agree. A quorum is considered to be at least 32 players willing to play in a specific bracket. The winners of these brackets will compete in the final.
2. Players who have played at least 3 ranked games are eligible for the tournament.
3. When registering for the tournament, a player must indicate which bracket they will play in. It is also possible to play in two brackets simultaneously. The organizer reserves the right to refuse a player's participation in two brackets at once if they have problems meeting deadlines in other tournaments. Applications without specifying the bracket will not be accepted.

2. Game Version SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod latest version.
Those wishing to try Fresh Mod are recommended to play Fresh Mod 4.5+ with the "Gameplay changes" checkbox disabled. Attention: only by mutual agreement. An opponent has the right to reject the plugin without explanation.
The HW Rules checkbox must be disabled in the game.
ATTENTION! You need to disable the checkbox after each restart!
Both host and opponent must check that the checkbox is disabled; if both fail to notice it, the game will continue without rules, subject to the limitations of HW rules.

3.1. For 160%, bidding determines the right to choose the Town and Color. The coin toss decides who gets the first word in the auction.
3.2. For 200%, Towns are chosen randomly, and the Color changes after each subjective restart. A coin toss determines the color for the initial generation.
Played with 2500 starting gold. How to add 2500 gold on 200% - see instructions /topic/at/1162824/.

4. Standard rules apply. If there are any changes to the rules during the tournament, they will take effect in this tournament.
The default timer is chess-style
For 160% (19:00+08:00+01:15)
For 200% (16:00+08:00+01:00)

Restarts:
For 160% - 113
For 200% - 114
For 200%, a mandatory restart with 3 starting towns is required.

- All types of roads are played.
- Starting bonus is chosen.
- Guild and Library upgrade is ENABLED.
- Using the daily Grail excavation bug is FORBIDDEN.
Anti-bug abuse rules:
1. If it is obviously impossible to pass from the starting zone to other zones due to obstacles, a restart without subjective elements is performed. This should be done on the day the issue is discovered but no later than turn 112.
2. If the game lasts until turn 347 and has not ended, the game is saved at turn 347. Players send the save file to the judge, stating the composition of their army from existing stacks for the final battle and their hero. The judge analyzes the armies and determines the meeting point with minimal territory bonuses. Doubling mana is not allowed, but it can be maximized through artifacts. By turn 417, players meet there without buying anything, entering objects, joining or attacking neutrals, and red attacks blue. The winner of the final battle wins the match.

II. Organizational Questions.

1. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
2. Players listed in the Blacklist and Penalty Bench are not eligible to participate in the tournament.
3. Tournament organizers and judges:
Tournament organizer: Ihromant (ICQ: 5676388).
Co-organizer and judge (join us)
If it is impossible to resolve a controversial issue on your own, the judges will seek help from the AC.
The organizer has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary.
4. For each played game, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this thread, created automatically.
Save files for all games must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon request by the tournament organizer or any member of the AC.
5. Information about the progress of the tournament is updated as needed and is located at the beginning of this thread.
6. All tournament games count towards the seasonal rating. The list of tournament reports is also located at the beginning of this thread.
7. The winner of the tournament will receive the traditional medal under their avatar.
If you want to add something to the prize pool, write.

III. Deadlines.
All participants in the tournament must strictly adhere to the announced deadlines:
1. Immediately after the start of the next stage or round, contact your opponents for preliminary arrangements regarding the games. Agreeing means reaching an agreement after negotiations and discussion. An offer without a response will not be considered an agreement.
2. Any temporary problems (with internet connection, travel plans, personal issues) must be reported to the tournament organizers.
3. The preferred time for tournament games is daytime (12-24 Kyiv time) on weekends and evening (19-24 Kyiv time) on weekdays. If a participant cannot play at this time, the absence of a game result will be interpreted by the organizer in favor of their opponent.
4. Fighting evasion. There are 2 days for each unplayed game. For example, if 2 games have not been played. 4 days before the end of the round, I toss a coin twice for the unplayed games and determine the winner. If there is no information (report, private message in ICQ/Discord) by that time. The player who believes that his opponent is evading him writes to me before the deadline, and I schedule an ODD at a time convenient for him. Therefore, try to agree with your opponent in advance (see point 1).

Registration - October 10 - November 1, 2019.
Draw - November 2/3, 2019.
Start of the tournament - November 4, 2019.

IV. Regulations.
Olympic system BO3. Grand Final BO5.
The first round will last 3 weeks, and the grand final will last 5 weeks.

Based on numerous requests, we are launching a tournament using the Anarchy template.
"Outlaw 4"
group I. General Information. 1. The tournament template is Anarchy, divided into two groups, with 160% and 200% difficulty settings, provided there are at least 32 players in each group. Players are allowed to play other templates without specific rules by mutual agreement. The grand final will be played between the winners of the two groups. 2. To participate in the tournament, you must have at least 3 confirmed HW rating games. 3. **Players should specify which group they want to join. Playing in both groups is also permitted. However, the judge may disqualify a player who has issues in other tournaments. Applications without group specification will not be considered.** 4. **Game Version:** SoD 3.2 (4.0) + latest version of the HD mod. If you wish to try Fresh Mod, we recommend playing Fresh Mod 4.5+ with "Gameplay changes" turned off. **Please note:** opponents must agree to play with Fresh Mod; if they disagree, you should play without it. **The "HW Rules" checkbox in-game must be disabled.
PLEASE NOTE! You must disable this checkbox after every restart!** Both host and opponent should check that HW rules are off before starting the game. If the game accidentally starts with HW rules enabled, it should be finished with those limitations (although when the engine allows certain actions, they can still be performed). 5. On 160%, players bid for choice of Race and Color. The first bid is determined by a coin flip. 6. On 200%, Races are random, but Color changes each time the game restarts. The initial color is determined by a coin flip. On 200%, the game is played with 2500 starting gold. To add 2500 starting gold, select 160%, give both players 2500 gold via gold transfer, and then switch back to 200%. 7. **Rules are standard.** If these rules change during the tournament, they will also apply to this tournament. **Default chess timer:** For 160%: (19:00+08:00+01:15) For 200%: (16:00+08:00+01:00) **Subjective Restarts:** For 160%: 113 For 200%: 114 For 200%, restarting after generating three towns is mandatory. - All road types are allowed. - Players can choose their starting bonus. - **Mage guild and library rebuilds are enabled.** - **The daily grail digging bug is prohibited.** Anti-bug abuse rules: 1. If it's obviously impossible to leave the starting zone due to obstacles, a restart without subjective evaluation is permitted, but no later than turn 112. 2. If the game lasts until turn 347 and has not ended, the game is saved. The save file is sent to the judge, and players decide which existing units will participate in the final battle. Mana doubling is not possible for FB, but maximizing mana through artifacts is allowed. Players choose which units will go to the final battle; then, the judge selects a terrain with minimal bonuses. Players travel to this zone by turn 417 with their main hero, without taking any objects, attacking or joining neutrals, or visiting any other locations. Red attacks blue. The winner of the FB wins the game. II. Organizational Questions 1. The tournament is conducted according to Rules of organization, conduction, and participation in tournaments. 2. Players on the Black list cannot participate in the tournament. 3. **Tournament host and judge:** Host: Ihromant (ICQ: 5676388). Co-host and Judge: (please apply) When it's impossible to resolve an issue independently, judges and the host can seek assistance from AK. The host may make changes to the rules during the tournament. 4. A report must be submitted for each game. Players should write and confirm the report. Save files for games must be kept until the end of the tournament and provided to the host and judges upon request (or for AK members). 5. Information about the tournament will be updated throughout the event and displayed at the top of the topic. 6. All tournament games are included in the HW rating. The report list is located at the beginning of the topic. 7. The tournament winner receives a traditional reward under their avatar. **Sponsors for the prize pool are welcome.** III. Timeframes All participants must adhere to the declared timeframes: 1. After each round, opponents should contact each other to arrange a preliminary game schedule. Agreement means reaching an agreement after online discussion. An offer without a response is not considered an agreement. 2. You should immediately notify the host about any issues with timing (internet connection problems, needing to leave due to personal reasons, etc.). 3. Preferred times for tournament games are between 12:00-24:00 Kiev time on weekends and between 19:00-24:00 Kiev time on weekdays. If a player cannot play during these times, the host may declare a win for their opponent. 4. **Anti-dodging policy:** You have two days for each unplayed game. For example, if you and your opponent haven't finished two games, four days before the end of the round, I will flip a coin twice to determine the winner. If, by this time, I don't have information (report, private message in ICQ/Discord), the participant who believes that their opponent is dodging should write to me before the deadline, and I will set a mandatory time for playing at a suitable time for them. Therefore, it's better to reach an agreement with your opponent than to involve the host in resolving these issues (see point 1). **Registration:** October 10 - November 1, 2019. **Sorting:** November 2/3, 2019. **Start of the Tournament:** November 4, 2019. IV. Ground Rules Playoffs are Best-of-Three (BО3). The Grand Final is Best-of-Five (BО5). Each tour lasts three weeks; the grand final lasts five weeks.

I have an idea to test the Fresh Mod in a tournament without gameplay changes. Read about the changes: 1. Guild Master restructuring is possible from any level. 2. Pressing the "E" key allows you to exchange items between heroes in the city. 3. When attacking banks, the description of the guards is displayed. 4. The duration of applied spells is displayed in battle. 5. The damage is displayed in battle as the number of creatures killed. 6. You can enter the Guild Master with a hero without a book or money. 7. When hovering over a scholar, the type of bonus they provide is displayed in the status bar: skill, cast, stat. 8. AI Value has been changed. Efreet Sultans: 2842, Fairy Dragons: 31,000, Monks: 565. 9. Extended spell descriptions in the spellbook. 10. You can view the movement points spent by holding down the "Alt" key. 11. You can activate a hero by pressing Shift + Left Mouse Click. 12. A shadow is displayed for the "Force Field" spell. 13. The number of creatures killed (resurrected) is displayed in battle.

One game per week. If you make it less, there will be complaints like "I don't have time."

And regarding the timer, what do you think would be a good time for 160% and 200%?

for 200%, you can aim for something around 10-5-1, and even with that, you'll have plenty of time. As for 160%, 12-6-1 should be pretty good.

Okay, I'll add a poll about the timer as well.
