Hello, Heroes fans! It's been a while since there were any tournaments on HW, we need to fix that. I propose holding a dynamic and exciting summer tournament)

Template pool: 2sm, 6lm, Jebus Cross. Players alternately ban templates; the order is determined by a coin toss.

The default game version is SoD; by mutual agreement, both FreshMod and HotA can be played. Accordingly, games will be conducted according to the current SoD rules posted on HW, or according to the rules of the latest version of FreshMod (in this case, additional settings are chosen by player agreement), or according to the HotA lobby rules — that one's pretty clear. A small adjustment: I propose that in any version, when choosing towns, the HotA rule be used, where a player can ban one of the rolled towns and demand a free new pair be generated, then for 500 gold. I suggest limiting the number of rerolls and bans to two (first time free, second for 500).

It is assumed that all games will be played with OХ. ОХ for Jebus Cross and 6lm is 117, for 2sm is 115. Players can agree on any other ОХ time that suits them before the start of the match.

To keep the tournament engaging and intense, I propose playing each round within one week. I hope we can avoid scheduling mandatory game days, but if it does come to that, the course of action is simple: the participant who believes their opponent is avoiding the game must contact the organizer/judge before the end of the round and provide evidence of the opponent's avoidance. The organizer/judge tries to contact the second player; if an agreeable date for both players cannot be arranged, the organizer/judge will set a game time for the nearest evening; failure to show or being more than half an hour late will be counted as a technical defeat. If none of the participants request a mandatory game day before the end of the round, such a day will not be set after the round ends.

By decision of the tournament participants, one of them can be chosen as a judge in case such situations arise.

Since this tournament was initially conceived as a mini-tournament to be held in a short timeframe, the registration period is also short: registration closes on Wednesday at 23:59, and the draw will be held.

 

Draw results: (if I misspelled someone's nickname, no offense)
Group A: 1) Proger, 2) DimaSurmay, 3) gizmo-war, 4) Sir Davos.
Group B: 1) igrayukakmogu, 2) Bubuch, 3) Avangard, 4) ckotuHa.
Group C: 1) Troublikk, 2) Beriadon, 3) Gos, 4) Morgot 
Group D: 1) Gorbunak, 2) Mregor, 3) Meo, 4) Jobstar, 5) Neo

Rounds: 
In the first round, within each group, participants with the following order numbers play: 1 - 2, 3 - 4. 
Second round: 1 - 3, 2 - 4, 
Third round: 1 - 4, 2 - 3.
Official start of the tournament is August 5th. The duration of each group stage round and then each playoff round is one week.
All games are BO1 (best of one), but if both players agree to play under other BO conditions, it is not prohibited, as long as they manage to do so within the round's timeframe. Naturally, playing a game ahead of the round's start is not forbidden if both participants can find the time for it.
In case of a tie in points within a group, the Berger coefficient is checked first, then the head-to-head result. If this does not resolve it (a "rock-paper-scissors" situation or a draw in the head-to-head match), these players play each other again.

Further tournament bracket: 
Quarter-finals: A1-B2, A2-B1, C1-D2, C2-D1. 
Semi-finals: winner of pair A1-B2 vs. winner of pair C1-D2, winner of pair A2-B1 vs. winner of pair C2-D1.

Please register me for the tournament. I only want to play SOD. I suggest playing with FM; without it, there will be many bugs and technical issues on the template. Everything else is standard.

In competitive games on small maps, it's not recommended to set the default Overlord Health (OH) to be longer than 115 due to restarts caused by encounters and rushes.

On 6LM, it's better to set the default to at least 117, and players can decide whether to increase it further. In standard SoD maps, there can be buggy paths to the opponent or a quick encounter through the center.
I lost a tournament for a spot in the top-4 favorites because of OH and a buggy path on a 117-length map.

I agree. I'll update the main thread regarding the OH time limits.

An entry fee isn't necessary ) instead of a cash prize, you could even have some kind of Heroic souvenir for memory ) for example, a t-shirt saying Heroes 3 MM or a Mug with an Archangel and Zidar from the Era of Erathia rebirth background)

Ordering prints on t-shirts or mugs and then mailing them to the winner is actually the most troublesome part)) If we're talking about some kind of attributes, you could ask the site administration to assign a corresponding badge to the tournament winner's profile

only SoD. I suggest playing SM with fm. Without it, there will be many bugs and tech rests on the template. The rest is classic

For some reason, you didn't appear in the participants list. Can you register again using the sign-up button?

I don't want to bother with the versions of Fresh Mod, so either Classic or Soda or HotA.

Ordering prints on t-shirts or mugs and then sending them to the winner by mail is the most troublesome thing. If we're talking about some kind of attributes, you can ask the website administration to assign the winner a corresponding badge in their profile.

A badge in the profile +

SoD in any form. Preferably with FM (without gameplay changes or with them, it doesn't matter much).
I tried classic SoD, and remembered what it's like. I'm canceling my registration 🤣

Regarding the game version: a poll showed that most respondents prefer the standard version. Therefore, we will keep it as it was in the first post of this thread: the classic version is the main version of the game, but if both participants agree to play with Fresh, HotA, or any other plugin, they are fully entitled to do so.

The draw will take place tomorrow afternoon, and its results will be displayed in the main post of this thread. A little later, hopefully the day after tomorrow, I will try to depict the groups and the bracket in a graphical form and attach the corresponding file.

Dynamic and engaging Heroes of Might and Magic! ))))))))
In my mind, this doesn't quite add up. Mininosta might have been more fun, with fewer Necropolis-related things. )

Anyway, hello to all the old and good Sylvan players! Good luck and have a great adventure! :D

In any case, greetings to the good old Soda fans! Good luck and an exciting journey to you!!

By dynamic, we primarily meant the timing of the event)) And also the templates Jebus Cross and 2sm, the latter to a lesser extent of course. And 6лм to attract an audience, since it's a popular template
