Posts from Team Tournament: Spring-2009

1. The team tournament is held to popularize the game we all love, attract new players (guest teams are highly encouraged), consolidate those already playing on the forum, and identify the strongest team among them.
2. The team tournament is conducted on versions of the game HoMM3 SoD 3.2 and 4.0; by mutual agreement between two players, TE is possible.

3. The tournament is played according to the rules for HoMM3 online games

4. Team composition – three members of the main roster and any number of substitutes. Having substitutes, the team captain has the right to make replacements during the tournament, notifying the opponent in advance. A team that has not declared substitute players only has the right to include a new player in the roster during the tournament with the permission of the opposing team.
Obviously, if the opposing team does not permit a replacement with a new player, then either the originally declared player must play, or it is a forfeit.
Therefore, I ask captains to take the same composition seriously.

5. Any formed teams can participate in the team tournament – from a clan, from specific geographical locations, or simply those not linked by circumstances but united by the desire to play

6. Competition dates. The tournament begins on April 6, 2009. Teams must play three rounds of the group stage over three weeks, from 06.04.2009 to 27.04.2009

7. Team attendance at the tournament. For example, if one team puts forward only one player for a round, while another puts forward three as required. In this case, the first team receives two losses for non-attendance, and the second will lead the match 2-0. However, the team captain must notify the judge about the missing players of the opposing team in advance.
For example, if both teams put forward only one player for a round. In this case, after the round time expires, the match between the teams will end with a score of 1-0 instead of the required 2-1 or 3-0.

8. 2 groups; the two strongest teams from each group advance to the semifinals, then the semifinal winners play the final.
In the groups, winners are determined by a simple majority of points earned by the players. In case of equal points – by head-to-head results. The winner is determined by a simple majority of points earned.
For example: A team played 3 matches in a group, won two with a score of 2-1, and lost one 1-2. Totaling 2+2+1= 5 points. Obviously, it will beat a team that scored 4 or fewer points, but will be below a team that scored more than 5 points.

9. Force majeure. Two players of a team did not play a game within the week: captains either remain silent, or one is silent while the other writes on the forum, or both write contradictory things.
In these cases, team players are given another 3 days to play the game; the judge, after hearing both sides, has the right to set the game deadline.

10. After playing a game in the team championship, the player writes a report in this thread.
Later, results will be transferred to the seasonal rating thread.

And finally. We are all busy people. Players live on different schedules, in different time zones, so sometimes it can be extremely difficult for them to coordinate.
Therefore, any team player, after looking at the opponent's roster, may challenge any player of the opposing team to a game. Of course, it would be better if the team captains agree before the round on who plays whom. If an agreement cannot be reached – then it is judge's discretion: the player listed first by the team captain plays against the similarly listed player of the other team.

Good luck!

Therefore, any player on a team, after seeing the opposing team's lineup, can challenge any player from the opposing team to a match. Of course, it would be better if the team captains agreed before the round on who will play against whom from the opposing team. If they cannot agree, then it will be up to the judges' discretion; the player indicated by the team captain first will play against the similarly indicated player from the other team.

We've finally waited for the team tournament....
From "Knights of the Apocalypse," we will announce our lineup (which I will indicate later)...
And regarding the point of who plays against whom, I suggest we keep it simple to avoid confusion and problems....
As in clan wars, the participants are numbered, and the first numbers play against the first numbers, and so on.

5-6 days for the game? And at the same time, there will be SoY, Best of Heroes, a tournament on TE, and a tournament with no rules? Isn't that a bit too little?

So we’ve finally gotten a team tournament....
The "Knights of the Apocalypse" are fielding our roster (which I’ll specify later)...
As for the matchups, I suggest we keep it simple to avoid confusion and problems....
Just like in clan wars, participants are numbered, and the first numbers play against the first numbers, etc.

If the teams decide that the #1 player of one team plays against the #1 player of another — that’s fine. But sometimes players just can’t coordinate. So a lot will depend on the captains’ work.
:smile42:

5-6 days per game? Especially when there are also SoY, Best of HV, a TE tournament, and a no-rules tournament going on at the same time? Isn’t that a bit tight?

That’s exactly why. Right now there’s an online tournament on the forum that started almost a year ago. That’s not normal; there were cases where a person used the excuse of being busy with multiple tournaments as a cover while actually not playing anywhere, just being listed.

Once we decide on the number and composition of teams, we’ll vote on how to proceed. One option is to give players three weeks to play 3 matches. In this case, it’s harder to track results, and someone might not play a single game, but there’s more freedom to schedule games. Either way, the teams that advance will be those that, besides skill, have more desire to play.

And one more thing. I don’t want to drag this out until summer, because vacations will start. :smile44:

If the teams decide that player number 1 from one team plays against player number 1 from another team, then there are no problems. But sometimes, the players just can't agree on a match. Therefore, a lot will depend on the work of the captains.
:smile42:
One option is to give the players three weeks to play three matches. In this case, it is more difficult to track the results; it is possible that someone will not play a single game, but there is freedom in planning the time for the games.

This is much more convenient!!! Personally, I am in favor of this option)))
And I have no doubt in the excellent work of my captain!!!
I just don't want to let the guys down...
Question: has the tournament format already been determined? Or will it depend on the number of participating teams?

As an alternative, you could create a team of substitutes so that, in case of discrepancies, you would have someone to back them up.

Playing with substitutes is definitely a good idea. With the option for captains to freely shuffle the lineup.

I can participate, but since I only play as the Terran Empire, I can only join as a reserve player.

Dear Nagan-4, I kindly request that you award the "Order of the Phoenix" team for the two team tournaments they won in 2008. P.S. Usually, for awarding achievements in Heroes of Might and Magic II, I write a letter to the Creator with a link to the relevant thread, and he adds the medals to their profile. Thank you in advance.

5-6 days for the game? And at the same time, there will be SoY, Best of HW, a tournament on TE, and a tournament with no rules? Isn't that a bit too little?

Don't forget about TK3 either :D

don't forget about TC3 :D

Oops :smile43:
Sorry :o

Dear Nagan-4,
I request that you award the "Order of the Phoenix" team for the two team Tournaments they won in 2008.

P.S. Usually, for awards in the second game, I write a letter to the Creator with a link to the topic, and he adds the medals to the profile himself.

Dear Qwerty. This is a fan Tournament, not an official one. At one time, I wrote to the administration about the first clan war, the first team Tournament, and the match with Portal. I was surprised that News about the second game was on the main page of the site, although, no offense, there are far fewer people playing the second game than Might and Magic III.
At first, this upset me, but then I thought - the administration created all the conditions on the forum for me and other players. A good atmosphere, no obstacles for players, and gentle moderation. The incident with the ban of Sticky and Loy is the only serious misunderstanding between players and the administration that I remember, and both sides are unlikely to allow that situation to be repeated.
In general, as an organizer of Tournaments, I have no complaints about the Creator and the administration. They did not interfere with me in holding all the Tournaments, and I don't bother them.

And one more thing. I think it is better to organize unofficial, fan Tournaments. Officialdom and the pursuit of rewards lead to players sometimes forgetting that this is just a game. Arguments, cheating, etc. begin.

Therefore, only fun in my Tournament. No prizes or awards, only respect from other forum players for the worthy winners. Sorry if I disappointed you, but in my opinion, this is the highest award that can be in our gaming world.

P.S. If I return to playing, it will only be in the second game. Maybe you will teach me how to play online in this version.

I can participate, but since I only play as the Tower, I can only be a substitute.

To Wicc.
That is why it is necessary for the captains to agree before the round on who plays against whom. Surely in each team there will be at least one Tower player.

Question: has the Tournament format already been determined? or will it depend on the number of participating teams?

To Spiritt.
I don't know yet how many teams will sign up. When it becomes clear, I will immediately write the championship format.

Since they are inviting guest teams, I will register a team called "April Fools," from the word "first" :)
first to register and first, hopefully, in the final :)
1. Captain
2. rebellious
3. FireToSky

P.S. If anyone wants to join our team, send me a message on ICQ or send a private message.

I have a proposal (please don't shoot the messenger): two SoD boards and one TE board. What do you think?

Another question, maybe I missed it: is it allowed to field mercenaries in a Clan?

we are a bit shy, but we'll still take a chance and participate:)
LeBron
Wic
Pit for LM
Javdet
Dirty_Player
We'll decide who's on the bench and who's in the starting lineup as the tournament progresses.
P.S. Let's create more teams – the tournament promises to be interesting.

For some reason, my mouth opened and won't close... Sorry for the off-topic, but maybe someone can tell me why this is happening?
