Version for the game SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod.
Attention! Version 3 of the Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal Player Rating Tournament has come into effect. In the game and in disputed situations, follow these rules.
The tournament is held in a round-robin system. Each participant chooses their favorite template (or map) and time limit. In rounds where you play as red, the game is played on your template, and the opponent first bans castles. In blue rounds, the opposite applies.
For example: 7 participants, 6 games to play, 3 games as red on your template, with the opponent choosing the castle first; 3 games as blue on the opponents' templates.

To participate in the tournament, you must have already played in some competition on HeroesWorld or have 3 confirmed reports in the season.

Template (map) selection criteria: any template that has already been used in a tournament is suitable. If you choose something original, indicate in which tournament that template was previously used.
For example: Skirmish according to M-200 No. 7 rules or Anarchy according to Bespredel rules on HeroesPortal.

Time limit criteria: no less than 4 min and no more than 10 min. If you absolutely want a chess clock, it must be adequate within the 4-10 min timeframe without combat time. Adequacy is coordinated with the organizer :)

Registration for the tournament until 12:00 Moscow time on August 31, 2013. The draw will be held on the same day.
Attention, time for 1 round - 2 weeks!

If there are suddenly too many participants, they will be divided into groups based on the principle of strong playing against strong, and I will also try to ensure that templates in one group are as diverse as possible (but that already depends on the participants).

template 6lm10a according to season rules
time 8 minutes

All reports will go into the seasonal rating, write them in this thread, and I will duplicate them into the season. A big request: format your reports neatly and indicate your group.

Good luck to everyone and lots of fun!

that's certainly interesting, but in my opinion, one week is not enough.

Well, I don't know, I played 4 games in 10 days and 3 on a saved game.

I would participate with a Diamond account, following the tournament rules (or using a corresponding chess timer), provided I have leave from August 23rd to September 10th....

Okay, my ICQ number is 561072253.

To ensure an equal number of games played on my maps and those of other players, we plan to create groups with an odd number of players. Ideally, there will be 7 people, and one player in each round will have a bye, so I don't foresee any major problems with my leave.

Great idea, we need to think about a template and get started!

and what are the rewards?

I need to think about it. Something stylish for a signature.

8 minutes, ideally, a decent chess player, unfortunately, I'm not good at it.

What kind of one-week trial is this? It's nonsense...
At least 2, or even 3 weeks would be better, so people could actually participate.
Not everyone has that much time to play as much as you do, but the idea is interesting.

Oh, I didn't notice it's only for a week; of course, we should extend it – after all, it's the last bit of summer, let us enjoy it :mad:

yes, add a little more time and you can sign up.

And if there are 20 participants, or more – what format will be used?

Give me two weeks, and I'll be back with an 8x12 map! I've saved the template, just in case the lines need to be edited.

2 weeks, 6lm10a)
