Tournament judge - ValgallaWolf (ICQ#: 355-654-648)
Tournament start: As soon as at least 16 people sign up.
Rules:
Each player must ban 6 heroes from their opponent's list before the duels begin. During the match, a player can replace ONE hero in their banned list ONCE (i.e., if the list looks like Ossir, Nimue, Crag Hack, Sinister, Orson, and Iris, and after, for example, the second duel, you think you banned the wrong hero, you can change, for example, Crag Hack to Jaliba). The names of the banned heroes are sent via ICQ, MSN, Agent@Mail.Ru, etc., to the judge or any other third party. After the battle, players must save replays.
One player chooses the arena for the game, and then the other. The order of selection is not important and is up to the players. The arenas "Boarding" and "Abyss" are prohibited. If a hero was chosen in the first game, that hero cannot be played by the same player in the next game.
And now, the highlight of the program... If your opponent chooses a "Dark" faction (Dungeon, Barbarian, Necropolis, Inferno), you must choose a "Light" faction (Haven, Sylvan, Academy, Fortress). That's why the tournament is called "Life in the Twilight" - I wanted to diversify the format of the duel tournament. Naturally, this format also affects the banning of heroes - 3 "Dark" and 3 "Light" heroes are banned. There will probably be a slight imbalance, but I don't think it will have a significant impact.
By default, the game is played on the Ubi server. By agreement, the game can be played via the Hamachi program.
Game version: HoMM5: ToE 3.0
Game type: duel.
Dynamic combat: disabled.
Now about the format. In the first stage (group stage), participants will be divided into 4 groups of 4 people. Within the groups, each player must play 2 duels against each other. For each duel, the winner receives 1 point, and the loser receives 0. The top 2 players from each group advance. In case of a tie, the result of the head-to-head match is taken into account. If this indicator is also equal, then the "Twilight" indicator is taken into account, that is, the percentage of victories for Light and Dark, the one with the percentage closer to 50% advances.
The table for the second stage is under development. The second stage is played in an Olympic system (single elimination).
Sincerely, just back from a pirate ship with Odin and Thor, Valgalla Wolf.
