Posts from SECOND HOMM3 TE ONLINE TOURNAMENT

Great - thank you - I'll be waiting!! Just one question.. I'm not very familiar with the concepts of SoD and TE... I have the Platinum version - will that work?? And what is it called in Heroes terms?:)

I have the platinum version – will it work?

It won’t work.

regarding TE:

/topic/3605/

These are good topics. However, I couldn't find any links to where to download it. There are only patches.

Download link for TE: http://www.heroes.by/files/TE_103q_full.exe
This is an already installed version; you just need to unpack it and run it. The archive password is Stinger.

Also, inside this archive there is a file called TE_manual(rus).doc – a complete description of TE, with differences from SoD.

But it doesn't have any settings. Settings for a specific tournament are usually posted by its organizer before the start. For example, for the past tournament, the settings were posted here: /topic/at/193881/

Thank you very much! I am extremely grateful!!!

waiting for suggestions...

Some of my thoughts regarding the past and upcoming Tournaments, and Tournaments on HeroesWorld in general.

I. The rules and regulations must be defined before the start of the Tournament (discussion and changes only during registration). The regulations must be carefully considered so that there are no situations requiring replays. For example, if the number of points is equal, the participants who played their games earlier proceed to the next round (other variations are possible). This information should be placed in the first post of the Tournament topic - with all final changes, so as not to go through the entire topic in search of the truth during the game, which is not very convenient when the clock is ticking. It is impossible to change the regulations and rules during the Tournament.

II. The deadlines for rounds must be clearly defined by the organizer and communicated to the players. Minor deviations are possible (extension: for completing games, discrepancies with time, other objective reasons) that do not have a significant impact on other players. I also believe that significant deviations in deadlines are possible in case of force majeure circumstances (an unexpected Interportal Tournament, a website malfunction...). The responsibility for compliance with deadlines lies with the Organizer, who also makes decisions on extending the rounds.

Well, in the next Tournament, be prepared :D the rule on conducting games will come into force.

I have a small Tournament experience - I have played about 12-15 Tournaments and I am currently playing on different resources. I haven't seen anything like it anywhere. Where there is a clear regulation and the Organizer monitors the Tournament, the deadlines are more or less strictly observed. You don't have to go far: I really like how Nagan runs Tournaments - there is no harshness, and the games are played, there are few technical issues.

...tighten the system...penalty for violation...ban...

I don't understand why it is necessary to introduce repression, force someone to play, intimidate with disqualification... It seemed to me that we are here to play for fun, not for a salary. Or am I missing something? Maybe someone here plays for million-dollar contracts?

In Tournaments, players have repeatedly appeared who suddenly disappeared/stopped participating in Tournaments, thereby spoiling the overall impression of the Tournament.

In my observations, mostly newcomers disappear, who accidentally stumbled upon a Tournament topic and thoughtlessly signed up for it. They probably can't even find the topic later - it's not easy to navigate the site at first. Such players don't care about bans.

if a player does not respond to requests to play Tournament games, refuses to participate in the Tournament for valid reasons - a ban on participation in Tournaments on HeroesWorld for a period of 6 months. If a player has valid reasons for refusing to participate in the Tournament and informed the organizer about this during the Tournament - a ban on participation in the next Tournament on HW.

How and by whom will the "validity" of the reason be determined? Born - got married - died? In my opinion, it is not very polite to find out personal reasons. Should the reason be reported publicly or in private? Will the reason "loss of interest in this Tournament" naturally not be considered valid? That is, will you have to play through force if you are interested in the next Tournament? It's no longer fun... How will compliance with the disqualification period be monitored? Will a table be drawn up? In my opinion, such a rule will provoke either players leaving for other resources, or lying, or rudeness (like "What's it to you?"). Who benefits from this?

I ask these questions not because I dream of carelessly "skipping" 30% of the games in the next Tournament, I try to adhere to the deadlines. (The only blunder was in this past Tournament, precisely because of changes to the regulations and delays in deadlines.) I feel sorry for other players. Example - Tournament on Jebus:

Sem56 and Nagan withdrew, Aldegir and Evgeny never got in touch - technical issues...

Will Sem56 and Nagan be banned from participating in the next Tournament, and Aldegir and Evgeny - a six-month disqualification?
It seems to me that we will not improve the situation on HW with bans, selections, and harassment.

I am VERY glad about your post.

I. The rules and regulations must be defined before the start of the tournament.

The rules will be taken from the previous tournament. I'll think about draw situations.

II. The deadlines for rounds must be clearly defined by the organizer and communicated to the players.

See below

I haven't seen anything like this anywhere.

The idea was taken from the League of Heroes.

and the games are played, there aren't many tech issues.

In my opinion, there should be 1 tech issue per 30 matches.

It seemed to me that we are here to play for fun.

/topic/5510/

Based on my observations, mostly newcomers drop out who accidentally came across a topic about the tournament.

Oh, when was the match for third place supposed to be played? And when did it actually take place? A good organizer should personally persuade players via ICQ to play their tournament matches?

The decision to tighten the system was made unanimously by all organizers. This tournament will be played within the time frame specified by the organizer. And so will all the others. People don't just ignore tournaments because they are new; this system is designed to weed out those who ignore tournaments. If they don't need tournaments, why even sign up for them??? And by the way...

Responsibility for adhering to deadlines lies with the Organizer.

So, if a player simply ignores the tournament, then the organizer is to blame?:smile07: If I had applied losses as needed, only 10% of the matches would have been played, and the tournament would have remained without winners.

Will Semu56 and Naganu be banned from participating in the next tournament, and Aldegir and Evgeny - disqualified for six months?

When the Jebus Cross tournament was opened, the rule hadn't been developed yet, so – no.

2 StickyFingaz I was also very pleased and amused by the new rule. Usually, an increase in repression in a state indicates a very unfavorable situation in it. Thank you very much for answering some of my questions. When will you answer the rest? I am very interested in the disqualification algorithm. Do I need to scan a medical certificate?

The regulations will be taken from the previous Tournament. I will think about the draws.

Question: will point 10 remain?

10) The organizers reserve the right to make any changes to both the regulations and the rules.

That is, an athlete comes to a karate Competition in an Olympic system, and after the first round, they are told: "We have made a small change here; now it's a round-robin Tournament and according to kickboxing rules." You leave as an invalid.

Hey, when was the match for third place supposed to be played? And when was it actually played? A good organizer should personally persuade the players to play the Tournament matches.

According to the regulations:

6) The Tournament system is that all players are divided into 2 groups of 4 people. Each player plays one game against their opponents from the group. The players who take the first 2 places go to the semi-finals, and then the winners of the pairs go to the final. 8) The time for one game is 7 days, i.e., the group stage must be played in 3 weeks.

The match for third place was supposed to be played at the beginning of October; I was counting on these dates for the Tournament. However, I only found out about my opponent on November 22. At that time, the Interportal Tournament had already begun, in which I played a total of 9 games from November 9, 2008, to December 29, 2008. I don't have nerves of steel and a lot of time. If it weren't for your comment:

I am not setting strict deadlines for the games; just try to play faster.

I would have withdrawn from the TE Tournament by then. I would have taken it normally. No one needs to be persuaded. Just use the tech support. Failure to meet deadlines affects the players more than the Tournament organizer.

The decision to tighten the system was made unanimously by all organizers. Not only newcomers are ruining the Tournaments; this system is designed to weed out players who ruin the Tournaments. If they don't need the Tournaments, then why register for them at all?

The date of the new rule is December 29, 2008. That is, Nagan and Evgeny voted unanimously for it, and two weeks later, they ruined the Tournament on Jebus, taking advantage of the fact that registration for it began earlier than the rule was introduced? Indeed, why did they register for it at all? How come Evgeny could not foresee that his computer would break down, and Nagan forgot that he needed to celebrate his birthday?

Question: Will point 10 remain?

It will. This is in case there are unforeseen situations that cannot be accounted for. And something will need to be done about them.

If a player apologizes, or at least warns about some unforeseen situation, they will be banned for six months. Besides, we are talking about 30% of matches, i.e., missing one game is not a big deal, and sometimes even more, depending on the regulations.

Usually, an increase in repression in a state indicates a very unfavorable situation in it.

Is banning players from tournaments a good thing? The Heroes League, where this rule was used, was an exemplary resource, and I don't think it will suffer because of this.

Well, I'll just put in some tech players, it's not difficult for me. But what benefit does the tournament get from this? I'm generally annoyed when I'm just given points. But now there will be fewer players who skip matches, and the quality of the tournaments will be higher.

The organizers (all organizers) are tired of the disrespectful attitude towards their tournaments. If you can't play, don't sign up, don't ruin the competition. It's all very simple

Here's a medal :)

Nice medal :)

I'm really looking forward to discussing the design with you on AIM.

maybe I'll try something in my free time? =) is that okay? or are you handling it yourselves? )

My skills definitely aren't enough for design work.
