Posts from SoY-4: Online Tournaments "Seasons of year" - "Seasons of the Year" - Autumn Season 2008

welcome to the 8th online Seasons - autumn 2008! (on fixed maps)
I present for your consideration the regulations:
1) the tournament is held on versions heroes3 complite and heroes3 SoD with patch 3.2 via hamachi.
2) to participate in the tournament, you must be a registered user of heroesworld.ru and leave an application with your ICQ number in this thread.
3) the tournament is seasonal; 2 game seasons (spring and autumn) will be held during the year, meaning we will have separate winners for the seasons, and the absolute champion of the year will be determined based on the results of both seasons.
4) games will be played 1x1 on duel maps. Right before the start of the tournament, a series of maps (75*75) will be posted, some of which will be used for the tournament. Difficulty 200%
5) the tournament will consist of 3 or 4 stages (qualifying, quarter-final, semi-final and final) - depending on the number of players, there will be a quarter-final or not.
6) all participants will be divided into groups of 3 or 4 people, depending on the number of players. 3 RP will be awarded for a win in a group, and 1 RP for a draw. The holder of the most RP will advance to the next round (given 4 stages, 50% or 66% of participants will move from the first to the second and from the second to the third; if there are 3 stages, 50% or 66% move from the first to the second, and 25% or 33% move from the second to the third)
7) all achievements will be reflected in a rating table, which will indicate: player nick, their place, amount of RP, number of games played, number of wins.
8) disputed points related to an equal amount of RP are resolved by the result of head-to-head matches or through additional games (whereas in the final, only via additional games). No RP is awarded for additional games, but they will be reflected in the table in the columns for games played and wins.
9) race draw: Conflux is excluded (however, if you happen to get Conflux in a game, you may develop it, with the exception of building the university and upgrading creatures of levels 1, 6 and 7), leaving 8 races; each player is given the opportunity to choose which town they will play with in a specific game, provided that one race can be played only once per season. (The draw for the town in additional games is conducted according to the "traditional scheme", i.e., participants take turns (red starts first) naming towns they would not like to play, and eventually players choose from the remaining 3 towns. Such a draw is conducted online, either in a mini-chat on our resource or via ICQ)
10) colors: the organizer will conduct a draw in pairs in advance using a special program to determine the red and blue player in each pair.
The player must notify the organizer of their town choice at least 24 hours before the game, as well as choose a hero; playing with identical towns is allowed. If a situation arises where players also chose identical heroes, the organizer reserves the right of first choice for the red player.
11) map selection is also carried out by crossing off - from 10 maps, opponents cross them off until one map remains; the right to the first cross is given to the blue player. Mandatory condition - players must first cross off maps they have already played on within this tournament
12) before the start of the game, the organizer sends the starting save to the red player, who creates the game via Hamachi; in order to timely resolve disagreements, a player must make a save and send it to the organizer before a presumed winning battle. Also, each player in a pair must provide a report on victory/defeat in a special thread within 2 days after the game.
13) in case of connection loss or game crash, the last autosave is loaded. Players are obliged to exactly repeat all their moves up to the moment of connection loss or game crash.
14) it is forbidden:
a) to attack the opponent during the first 8 days
b) for red to attack on the first day of the week with offspring born on that day
c) to use hit and run (using combat magic against an opponent in battle and fleeing\paying off during that turn)
d) to choose: Sir Mullich; if this hero comes to you, you are obliged to dismiss him upon reaching level 3.
e)

5.2. All heroes who are magic specialists of the 4th level, as well as Tant (Raise Dead), may use their profile spells in the following cases:
a) If the corresponding level of the Mage Guild (ГМ) is built in any of the controlled castles. If these castles do not have the required ГМ level, it is necessary to fully build ГМ of all levels in any two castles that you own. Or capture an opponent's castle with the required ГМ already built (it does not matter how long the captured castle remains under control). Visiting this castle with a hero is not mandatory.
b) Find and visit a "shrine of magical thought" with the necessary magic.
c) If any of your heroes are given the corresponding spell in Pandora's box, a pyramid, after visiting a scholar, or in a magic book.

f) to sell artifacts above their real value.
g) to recruit neutral units (exceptions are possible depending on the map selection)
15) Turn duration limit is 4 minutes.

16) time: one game must be played within 1 week; games should be coordinated in a special thread, and both players must post their agreement with the given time. The time must be coordinated with the organizer. If for any reason you cannot play at the agreed time, you must notify your opponent at least 24 hours in advance, and not just write a private message or email, but receive notification that they have received your message.
If a player does not play the game within a week, a technical defeat is awarded to them. If a situation arises where a player was forced to miss a game due to the opponent's fault, a victory is awarded to them and a technical defeat to the culprit.
In case of failure to appear for the game at the appointed time, a technical defeat is recorded for the player. A delay of no more than 60 min is allowed.

17) if you see that the game is hopeless - do not torture your opponent and agree to the loss.

18) winners for the seasons and the absolute champion based on two seasons will be awarded medals under their avatars, as well as t-shirts with the ХВ logo (winner's size).

19) all disputed points are decided by the organizer, therefore I ask you to notify them of such occurrences in a timely manner.

20) for violation of rules in the game, a technical defeat will be given; for cheating (which is obviously forbidden) - permanent disqualification

21) organizers reserve the right to make any changes to the rules in case of unforeseen/force majeure situations.

Haha, I was just about to switch to using fixes.

Before publishing a set for a tournament, I think it’s necessary to post a list of maps on which the competition will be held. For example, if they suit me, I will submit an application; if not, then...

In-game name: Plumber. Asya - 1463825 I hope the game time will be in the evening, as I study at the Academy. Yes, I am a student. ^_^

The maps will be available in a day or two. Most of them will be familiar to you – these are standard maps from The Restoration of Erathia, slightly modified, or they were used in previous tournaments. There might be something new, but only a little.

Playing.
Pit - for the sake of LM
ICQ - 471401475.

A couple of questions about the rules:
14.b - hit and run is usually prohibited only in the first round - is it now prohibited in any round?
14.d - what about neutral creatures? Are they allowed or not?
