Posts from The Great Confrontation

Currently, 27 people have registered for the tournament. After listening to the latest opinions and suggestions, I decided to compromise and create 3 groups of 9 participants each. I think that conducting 8 games in each group over two months is feasible for everyone who wants to participate. Regarding the awarding of points, I liked the idea of not awarding zero points in case of a loss, but should we award 2 or 3 points for a win?

:cool:

Still, I suggest including strict time limits in the tournament rules, as I proposed. Otherwise, there will again be a significant delay in the tournament and confusion with unfinished games. It's time to start teaching people to be disciplined. In the end, let those who are really interested in and value playing Heroes participate!

I would like to contribute.

Since I am new to this resource, I will immediately ask how it will continue. Official registration is complete, so when will we start playing, or at least where can we check the tournament status? We need to find the tables, see the deadlines, and check the standings...)))

In my opinion, 3 groups of 9 participants each, with 4 from each group advancing, and 12 playing among themselves. The deadlines should be strict, as Kill_end_Action suggested. Points: 3-1-0, although this is not so important; the winners will still advance, not the losers or those who didn't play. In a long game on large maps, the element of chance is small; with such tight tournament deadlines, it should be disregarded. If, for example, the first five participants have the same number of points, some kind of coefficient should be used. It can be announced later, as we still need to strive to play better and win as much as possible; the mathematics of the coefficient for the losers will not change the essence.
Regarding violations of the rules, the punishment should not be up to and including exclusion from the tournament, but always exclusion from the tournament, with all previously played games annulled and treated as if they had not been played. Because it is difficult to prove a violation, and if it is proven, the punishment must be severe.

It's time to clash!

The regulations for the first round have been revised and are outlined in the rules. The point scoring system has been defined and will be posted in the topic, along with the groups. The mechanisms for determining the winner in case of a tie in points within the groups have been worked out. The time limit for each game is 7 days + 3 days for finishing an already started game. Rule violations can vary, and the reasons for violations can also vary, so punitive measures will be applied in accordance with the established degree and severity of the offense – exclusion from the tournament is the ultimate punishment. In the next few hours, a topic will be created for reports and submissions, where the tables for the group stage will be posted.

IMHO, 3 groups of 9 participants each, with 4 advancing from each group, resulting in 12 players competing against each other.

The number of players advancing from the groups should be a power of 2, i.e., 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.; otherwise, at a certain stage in the final, someone will not have a pair with an equal number of wins/losses. Therefore, the top 5 players from each group will advance, plus the best of the 6th-place players.

Yes, the idea of awarding 0 points to inactive players is very good. I wanted to clarify – are there any heroes banned? That is, is Wинг also allowed?

Yes, all heroes are allowed.

The correct term is BLUE DREAM:D http://krylslova.ru/index.php?a=term&d=1&t=1012

Well, I initially wanted to write "blue," but after thinking about it, I decided that my dream is definitely not "blue":D

I want to raise the issue of staying inside the castle when an opponent approaches! In my subjective opinion, those who do this are acting cowardly at the very least! The castle in 100% of cases gives the owner significant advantages. And what kind of draw is it if they simply couldn't force you out of the castle? I suggest: if an opponent approaches your castle, and the hero is at home, they should be forced to fight in the field near the castle. What does everyone think?

Well, it's simple: if you come to the final battle and can't take the castle, it means you're not ready. :)
And draws have very little chance here. :)

There are different upgrade paths for storming a castle and fighting in the field!

The rules state: In the event of a stalemate, when both opponents do not want to engage in battle on the opponent's terms, i.e., one comes and does not attack the opponent in the Castle, and the second, in turn, does not want to leave the Castle and attack, and this situation is equally recognized by both as hopeless, a draw is declared! In the event of a similar situation, but one of the opponents still claims victory and considers their chances of it quite real, they must attack the opponent no later than the end of the 3rd game month (3-4-7), no matter where he is! I think that this is the most optimal option; forcing someone to leave the Castle just because their opponent has come to their walls is not right. It's a game; come and attack, if you're not sure, don't come! A live example of this happened 2 minutes ago in my game with a Heroes player. I was playing as Dungeon, he was playing as Elf. In the city, he wouldn't have taken me, but in the field, I would have 100% lost, but I had to leave the Castle for other reasons, so I won't change anything in the rules.

You've said it all yourself. We're not playing a game of "who can level up their hero best for a field battle." If you want to win, you need to think about how you'll take your opponent in the city or gain an advantage that will make staying in the city pointless (for example, having a strong secondary hero or a second strong hero who can control the map while the first one locks down the opponent, etc.). Otherwise, you can just level up a pure warrior and not worry about it...

Attention! Due to numerous requests from players, an addition is being made to the tournament rules: each player in a pair is allowed one restart, no later than the end of the second day of the game!

Please advise... The rules state: The game continues until one of the players surrenders or loses. It also states that in the event of a stalemate, one player must attack their opponent no later than the end of the 3rd game month (3-4-7). My question is: what if the situation is not a stalemate... but for some reason, they haven't met by the deadline (3-4-7)... can the game continue, or what should be done? (We are currently at the end of the 2nd month, so I'm just clarifying for now).
