The next player is always selected and notified immediately after the current pair is announced. That is, I choose a player who is ready to play for the next game in advance (they must first confirm their participation, and they have 24 hours to do so), so that the tournament doesn't stall. As stated in the first post.

And of course, the player should not reveal their participation in advance. :)

17.4.2013: twaryna (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def =Stinger= (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Bron) Jebus Cross 127

Stinger took 2 restarts, I didn't restart.
111. Immediately scout a chocolate: 3 Hives with good guards, Griffin Conservatory, Hydra external dwelling, Cloak +2 speed, Dwarf Cottage, Crypts, Library. A spread of 6 heroes.
112. Tazar levels up - got Weapons and Air. In the depths of the respawn, I scout another 2 Hives. On the way to the center and to one of the secondary zones, a block of 10+ Cyclops Kings, no way around, unfortunately.
113. I build and bring Wyverns, break through the first Dragon Fly Hive, but it's large, I don't dare go in. I ride Tazar to the next Hive. Another 2 external Wyvern dwellings, a Griffin Conservatory, Gloves and Boots are scouted. Also there are 2 Dragon Utopias on the respawn. Fat. Tazar got Tactics.
114. I build Basilisks, break through the Hive with Tazar and go in carelessly with all my power except the Lizardmen, because I need something to hold on to. The Hive turns out to be pre-max. Despite a good Taz and a good amount of meat, everything gets eaten except 19 Gnolls. But 8 Wyverns is already not bad.
115. I build Hydras at home, buy them out, capture the external Hydra dwelling, but don't take it so Tazar can reach the Hive (and it was a mistake, I should have taken it with a scout hero). I take the Hive - it's minimum) Then with a scout hero I transfer the army to capture the Hive in the depths of the respawn - it turns out to be max, as luck would have it. They eat the Lizardmen, a Hydra, and a couple of Wasps. A Hydra from the dwelling would have helped, of course. In the end, we have an army of 18 Wyverns.
116. I break through a block of 50+ Orcs with Tazar. They also damage my Wyvern somehow) I take an external Wyvern dwelling, a Hive. A scout hero with a Hydra from the external dwelling takes a village - Rampart. Tazar got Logistics.
117. I get the Gloves, collect gold. I build a Castle right on time, in Rampart a Mage Guild, Tazar sits down to replenish mana.
121. I build Markets, trade, buy up. Tazar captures the Boots, takes a Conservatory for 2 Angels. Tazar with Expert Logistics, with Gloves and Boots!
122. I capture an external Wyvern dwelling + a Bow behind Monks, Tazar rides through the Library. Korbac takes a Hive for 8 Wyverns.
123. Korbac takes a Conservatory for 3 Angels. Tazar breaks through the Cloak +2 speed, kills Cyclops, a prison before ГО, a Pandora for 15k experience behind Bears. He gets Advanced Pathfinding immediately, Earth and Wisdom. It's a shame Air is still only Advanced and Weapons too. I speed up before ГО - a stupid move, Stinger could have caught me, of course...
124. I take another external Hydra dwelling, hit ГО - Battle Unicorns - they kill my Angel, I see Bron with 5+ Archers and Pikemen. I see 3 Dragon Utopias. I decide to break through to the nearest one, maybe level up Air. I break through 20+ Dark Elves, max Dragon Utopia - I don't go in. I attack Bron. He has 5 Archers and Pikes. I have 4 Angels, 36 Wyverns, 5 Hydras and Flies. In the second round, I crash all into the Archers. In the 3rd round, I could have killed the last one, but a resist triggered on the shooter. Stinger buys back, killing 7 of my Wyverns. I take an external Drake dwelling and an external Manticore dwelling.
125. I take Dragon Utopia 2 - they give a red orb and boots +2 all. Tazar kills the bears for the Pandora, and damn my luck I take it - as a result, I'm one tile short of the central dungeon( In the end, I'll have to sit around without mana.
126. I take the dungeon. Build a Tavern. I move the Hydras to upgrade. Return them. Tazar breaks through 50+ Dark Elves for a Pandora and a prison - there's Orrin level 30. I take a Hive.
127. + a Hive, I capture a Shield +12-3, take a Dragon Utopia - they give Air Spell Book. Just zero mana. I build a Mage Guild in the dungeon, hoping for a Whirlpool next turn. Tazar runs into the sands, Dessa takes a Hive there. I scout a Sword +12-3. On his turn, Bron bursts in with Flight and kills himself on the Archers for a Pandora and a prison.

Thanks for the game!
