The time has come and so... drumroll... the qualifying tournament for FB-8 is declared open :smile44:

I. Regulations and Deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using the "Swiss" system

Start of the tournament: April 1, 2014; registration until March 29, 2014 inclusive

Time limit per round: 2 weeks - technical losses will be assigned without regard to opinions or authority (the sole exception is CIS-14 in Minsk)
Players have the right to arrange a convenient time among themselves, but if an agreement cannot be reached, the critical time for playing is the night from Saturday to Sunday of the first week. (if the game was not completed in one session, then during the second week). In case one player fails to show up at the set time, the other must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when the tech result is assigned, this will be the main argument.
This clause is not subject to discussion.

7 players advance to the final stage.

II. Rules and Templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0); by mutual agreement, WT or any other version of HOMM3.

3.The template for each round will be determined as follows - during registration, each participant must indicate 5 favorite templates; from all these templates, 9 will be selected (depending on the number of participants and the number of rounds, respectively). Then the selected templates are randomly "shuffled" and a list is compiled (e.g., 1-2sm4d3, 2-mininoszta, 3-Jebus Cross, 4-skirmish, etc.). In the 1st round, players ban templates that "came up" under numbers 1, 2, 3 (i.e., banning occurs from 2sm4d3, mininoszta, and Jebus Cross). In the next round, banning occurs from templates 2, 3, 4 (mininoszta, Jebus Cross, skirmish), etc. In the last 7th (9th) round, banning will occur from templates 7 (9), 1, 2. Red starts the ban

4. Town selection: standard ban. Blue starts the ban. Colors are determined during the draw and do not change with restarts.

A win awards 1 point, a draw 0.5, a loss 0.
The winners, and accordingly those who qualify for FB, will be 7 people.
The winner is determined by the total number of points scored. In case of a tie in points, additional tiebreakers apply.
1) Buchholz Coefficient
2) Head-to-head result

III. Organizational Matters
1. The tournament is official and regular.
2. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for Organizing, Conducting, and Participating in Tournaments.
3. Tournament Host: zloi_romantic (296524052)
Tournament Judges: Pit for LM (471401475), Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873).
4. For each game played, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented at the first request of the tournament hosts or any AC member.
6. Regarding controversial issues, if any arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact the host or a tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
The judges' decision is made primarily based on the tournament rules. If the situation that arises is not regulated by the rules, then the judges will be guided by basic logic and gaming ethics.
7. All tournament games count towards the season rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied to the "Game Reports and Confirmations Online" thread. I.e., there is NO need to duplicate reports in the seasonal thread.
8. The final part of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered on an individual basis).
3. Newly registered players are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception: active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered on an individual basis).
4. Players who have a BWP are not eligible to participate in the tournament. If any player is awarded a BWP during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who have repeatedly "ditched" tournaments may be rejected.
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse a user participation in the tournament without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The Winner and 2nd-3rd place finishers of the FB-7 tournament are NOT allowed to participate in the qualifiers.
8. The tournament application must include:
- 5 most favorite templates
- convenient time for playing

9. Players Gomunguls, Aya, Maretti advance to FB-8 without a qualifier, while players Piterius and LeBron have a bonus of a byeslot for 1 round (if, of course, they wish to participate)

The randomizer arranged the templates as follows
1-2sm4d3
2-Spider
3-skirmish (played according to OFB rules, i.e., with a town ban and no color change, but by mutual agreement you can play according to seasonal rules, i.e., allrandom)
4-6lm10a
5-JC
6-8mm6a
7-anarchy
8-diamond
9-Mini nostalgia

Thus, in the 1st round Red starts the ban from templates - 2sm4d3, Spider, skirmish
In the 2nd round, the ban proceeds from templates Spider, skirmish, 6lm10a
In all rounds, Red starts the template ban

I repeat for everyone - if you have a problem with your opponent (cannot find a common time, being ignored, etc.), write to me on ICQ - we will sort it out

111 Gave slow movement, but there are 6 heroes on the first day and a scouted stash of swordsmen, 31 archers. 112 Decided on Valeska's direction, found a lot of gold on the respawn point, sacrificed 5 archers to morale on the greased gargoyles. 113 2 crypts, Valeska on a fairy runs to protect the secondary resource, found and defended 2 stashes of archers, lots of money, enough for a full purchase. On 114, the opponent surrenders, declined auto-play. Thanks for the game, good luck further!

111 Slow roads spawned, but there are 6 heroes on day one and a scouted external dwelling of swordsmen, 31 archers
112 Deciding on a direction with Valeska, found a lot of gold at the respawn, lost 5 archers to upgraded gargoyles due to morale
113 2 crypts, Valeska on a fairy runs to guard the secondary hero, found and captured 2 external dwellings of archers, plenty of gold, enough for a full buyout
On 114 the opponent surrenders, declined auto.
Thanks for the game, good luck going forward!

There was still a rest left, but I fell for Gunnar and an external dwelling of gogs.
However, the underground respawn was very small, and the passage guards were golden golems and upgraded centaurs. Lost it to the golems.
Thanks for the game.

It never arrived. My computer broke down a few days ago – they should return it to me this evening. I’ll check in with you in the evening, and we can arrange something if needed.

On the respawn point, I found mages, boots with +2 speed near the mummies, and a lot of money. I took a second Inferno unit. On day 114, I received a message about the opponent's surrender; they miscalculated their strength. Thanks for the game.

On the map, there are hidden mages, boots with +2 speed behind the mummies, and a lot of money. I took a second Inferno castle. On day 114, I received a message about the opponent's surrender; they miscalculated their strength. Thank you for the game.

Opp spent 3 restarts, I spent 0. In the 1st week, I defend against the early rush, bots are focused on speed, there's a stable near the castle, double mana, I take a level 1 consultant: I decided not to restart. In the 2nd week, I go to the treasury, almost get wiped out in a massive confrontation, but then I kill everything with 5 angels, and find all the air creatures in a chest. At the beginning of the 3rd week, I get a Utopia - they give me a lair. I upgrade the bears. I build 2 Guild Halls with libraries in 2 towers. Crag is 25-15. From the middle of the 3rd week, things start to go completely wrong, I wander aimlessly along long roads for another 2 weeks without teleportation or even supply, and eventually find the opponent, who runs towards me a couple of days later, I attack with mass haste - gg.

The opponent spent 3 restarts, I spent 0.
In the first week, I defend against the early rush, bots are focused on speed, a stable is built near the castle, double mana is acquired, and I take the level 1 consultant: I decided not to restart.

In the second week, I go to the Treasury, almost lose in the maximum difficulty, but then I kill everything with 5 angels, and find all the air creatures in a chest.
At the beginning of the third week, I take the Utopia - they give me a Lagoon. I upgrade the bears. I build 2 Grand Mages with libraries in two Towers, level 4. Crag is at 25-15.

From the middle of the third week, things start to go completely wrong. I wander aimlessly along long roads for another 2 weeks without teleportation and even without supplies. In the end, I find the opponent, who runs towards me in a couple of days. I attack with mass haste - GG.
Either I misunderstood the map or it was actually a one-way loop, but in any case, there was only one way to meet the opponent. Whether you go through the Treasury, swamps, and rocks, or any other way, there was still only one path along the road - the road through the brown, which turned out to be the last in my list of choices, because I wanted to go through another companion (first, I tried to reach level 2, but I couldn't find a path, and in the end, the mage I chose was completely outmatched). And I didn't get any good items to at least put up a fight.

Thanks for the game

Lost interest in the heroes. The situation is good, but I started the game only because of the deadlines. I apologize to my opponent. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.
I confirm, the setup was good: level 2 town built, a defensive position established, a hidden stash of Gogs, and fake units deployed. As it turned out, on day 4, my home town with built-up Gogs was supposed to be taken, but my opponent surrendered.

The external dwelling of Dragon Flies, a Griffin Conservatory, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, and boots with the external dwelling of elves were a delight. Thanks for the game.
