We are launching a tournament on the Anarchy map based on numerous requests.

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.

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.
