Favorites, to Battle! - 6
The time has come for another confrontation. We must fight for our favorite castle, prove its strength, and please the spectators with interesting games and unconventional combinations. In this tournament, each player immediately chooses a race that they will play throughout the entire tournament. The first such tournament took place in 2008. No single castle or player has won these tournaments twice. Necropolis, Conflux, Swamp, Castle, and Rampart have already been the best. How will it be now?
I. General Questions. 1. Throughout the tournament, each participant plays as their chosen favorite race. If two identical races meet in a game, heroes are selected either by mutual agreement or randomly. 2. Game version: SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod, WT by mutual consent. To avoid violating the basic rules of the games and when playing on the skirmish template, it is recommended to use version 1.02 of the HW_rules_mod patch. 3. Color in the draw tables is for the first generation. Then colors are changed after each SUBJECTIVE restart. 4. The template selection is made by crossing out from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish (at 200% difficulty), Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in blue in the table begins crossing out the template. By mutual agreement, playing on any other template is permitted. This matter must be discussed with the tournament judges in advance. 5. Rules are standard. Any changes to the game rules by mutual consent of the players are allowed, except for changing the Favorite Castle and the Fair Play rule. Additional rules by template: Mini-Nostalgia. The tournament participant marked in blue in the table begins choosing the castles for computer secondaries. When colors change, the selection is not repeated; the same computer castles chosen by the player remain their secondaries. Diamond. The participant marked in red in the table removes the extra (ninth) castle. If favorite castles are identical, the red player first removes one castle, then the blue player removes the second. skirmish (200%) rules of the M200 tournament, with patch.
II. Organizational Questions. 1. The tournament is official and regular. 2. Tournament goals: - play as a favorite castle and try to prove its strength, - gain valuable experience and improve one's level of play. 3. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for organization, conduct, and participation in tournaments. 4. Players listed on the Blacklist are not eligible to participate in the tournament. 5. Managers and Judges: Scorpiona (ICQ: 469326983) - maintaining tables and report lists. GoedenDag (ICQ: 686339159) - tournament manager - deadlines, pairing issues, statistics. Gomunguls (ICQ: 499978341) - judge - disputed situations in games, rules. Pit for LM (ICQ: 471401475) - organizational issues, judging. Disputed issues between players are resolved by the managers; disputed issues between players and managers are resolved by AK. Managers have the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary. 6. For each game played, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this thread. Reports must be submitted according to the following scheme:
Group. Game date. Player 1 Nick (color, castle, starting hero, main hero) game result - def, lose, draw Player 2 Nick (color, castle, starting hero, main hero), template, game time.
Starting from the playoff games, it is necessary to attach game saves to the reports.

III. Deadlines. All tournament participants must strictly observe the announced deadlines: 1.
