Tournament Judges: Leolopus - 450630412.
The tournament is held on an RMG map using the Maze template.

Tournament prize pool 800$: first place - 500, second - 200, third - 100
Tournament Regulations:

Tournament Dates: June-July 2009. After registration ends, a draw will be held to distribute participants into groups.

Game Schedule: The format is group stage followed by playoffs; the number of groups and the number of slots for advancement to the next round will be determined additionally and specified in these regulations upon completion of participant registration.
Group stage dates: June 2009.
Playoff dates: July 2009.

Group Stage Point System: 2 points are awarded for a win in each game, 0 points for a loss, and 1 point for a draw.
Playoffs are single-elimination games.

In the end-of-game report, the winner specifies the result in the following format:
Player1 (Color, Race, Main Hero) def Player2 (Color, Race, Main Hero) or Player1 (Color, Race, Main Hero) lose Player2 (Color, Race, Main Hero) - end time.
where "def" indicates a victory and "lose" indicates a defeat. The game end time is in the format [month][week][day], for example, 2-2-3.
The loser confirms the winner's report. Both may add their own report or any comments regarding the match.

Tournament Rules:

1. Games are played on HoMM V: Tribes of the East version 3.1. The game is played on the Ubi server or via Hamachi software.

2. Game Settings:
Difficulty – Hero
Turn time limit – 8 minutes
Animation speed – maximum
Quick combat – enabled
Simultaneous turns – enabled
Dynamic combat – disabled
Ghost mode – disabled
Autosave – enabled

3. It is recommended to save the game a couple of times a week, for example, in the middle and at the end. If saves are requested by the judge, send them to voltor1@yandex.ru
4. All games within the tournament take place on a generated map using a mod, based on the Maze template.

Recommended parameters when creating the map: size - large with dungeon, very large or huge without dungeon; creature strength - strong; water - no; number of players - 2; custom template - select Maze from the list; hide mini-map - yes (check the box); random towns - no (do not check the box); experience - 3; resources - 3; do not check Ashi's Tear, and then choose races for player 1 and 2 according to the same draw.
Based on personal experience, I recommend avoiding generating a map with a dungeon, unless you really don't care which terrain your starting zone will be located on;)

To make templates available during map creation, you must download the mod (attachment at the end of the thread). Unzip it and place it in the UserMODs folder, for example: D:\Program Files\Nival Interactive\Heroes V\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\UserMODs.
5. Before the game, races are determined and colors are chosen; I suggest determining the order of the draw by mutual agreement, with the player starting the draw playing as blue. A list of all available starting races on the map is written for each of the two players. In total, there are 2*8=16 positions. After this, players take turns crossing them out until only one uncrossed race remains in each list - these will be the ones they play. During this process, you can cross out "bad" races from your own list as well as "good" ones from the opponent's list. The sequence of crossing is as follows: 1-2-2-...-2-1 (meaning the first player crosses one position, then the second - two, the first - two... and finally the second - one).

6. Starting hero - random; choice of bonus (mini art - money - resources) - optional.

7. The game continues until one of the players surrenders or loses. Players are allowed to postpone the end of the game to other days if time permits.

8. In case of a connection drop or game crash, the last autosave is loaded; players are required to exactly repeat all their moves up to the moment of the same connection drop or crash.

9. In-game Restrictions:
"Red Rush" is FORBIDDEN - an attack by the red player on the first day of the week using purchased growth from the castle.
It is FORBIDDEN to recruit neutrals with or without the Diplomacy skill. If you recruited a unit, it must be dismissed (fired). The "Diplomacy" skill itself is allowed. Exceptions: it is permitted to sacrifice recruited units in sacrificial pits (Dungeon, Inferno, Barbarian).
It is FORBIDDEN to use the "Astral Gate" spell to enter the opponent's starting zone.
The use of the Orc ability "Reinforcements" to destroy the opponent's ballista is FORBIDDEN.
Building a Tower in the dwarf castle is FORBIDDEN.
Upgrading and using the "Mentorship" ability in the "Education" skill is FORBIDDEN.
Upgrading hero Wingael above level 2 is FORBIDDEN.
Attacking the opponent's castle before the end of the 1st month, i.e., 4 weeks or 28 days, is FORBIDDEN; this ban is a special condition of the tournament!!!

10. Players are required to play fair. Hacking or viewing saves is forbidden. In case of doubts about an opponent's honesty, the player writes a letter to the organizer with the attached saves. The organizer determines if there was a violation; if so, the penalty can be up to disqualification from the tournament.
11. Two people from each group advance to the playoffs, respectively those who took 1st and 2nd place in the group, totaling 8 people. If both earned an equal number of points in the group, positions will be determined by the results of their head-to-head game in the group. Then comes the quarterfinals: 1A - 2C, 2A - 1C, 1B - 2D, 2B - 1D; the four who advance to the semifinals will be paired by draw.

hello, is there anything in the rules about cheating heroes, or is it allowed for everyone?

Added 2 minutes later
It is forbidden to develop the following heroes above level 2 on all maps: Wingael, Vittorio, Dugal, Daleb, Kaspar, Tilsek, Haghesh, and Hafiz, and Ingvar. In addition, it is allowed to build a tower in the dwarf castle (since Ingvar is banned, and the tower does not give other heroes such an advantage). I took it from a paired game.

In principle, I don't mind if this issue is put up for discussion. The only thing I would like to say is that this topic has already been raised when discussing the "Best of the Best" tournament (which was also held on templates), and almost all participants agreed that there is no point in banning heroes. But if the majority expresses a desire to ban them, no problem, we will ban them, but for this, I would like to hear the opinion of this majority?;) And the list of heroes proposed for banning may need to be edited.

On weekends, I'm available almost any time by arrangement. On weekdays, I'm available on Friday from 7:00 PM.

PS: Regarding banning heroes. I wouldn't ban them. Especially since the starting hero is random, so it's not even certain that they will appear.
