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

Thank you for the game!
I confirm.
Maybe I should have picked Elves. In this game, there are two Elven secondaries and a Dungeon. There's only one Hive on the entire map, worth 20+ bones.
Thank you for the game!

I had one more restart left, but decided to play because of a decent number of troglodytes, good roads, and an external dwelling of medusas. I had 2 secondary heroes, revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories. From my line of sight, I saw the opponent's Griffin Conservatory in the grass. We saved on turn 116. Then we struggled for a long time and couldn't connect. We decided to settle based on the save. The balance was in my favor. Thanks for the game!

It turned out to be an interesting game; Gunnar arrived immediately, and I played with two "papas" until the end. Under the Castle was a 2-stack of cons with a grand stack; I found a scroll of blessing and decided to build the guild and take the one with eyes on day 3 so that more troglodytes would remain. It went well, but then Galtran appeared for the opponent. He ran fast roads, seized castles, and found more cons, although small ones. In the first Dragon Utopia they gave trash, but in return, I got TP immediately from the guild; there was no other control for a long time, but as soon as Galtran went on the attack, I took 2 Dragon Utopias with very good parameters and full control. We started running around seizing towns from each other, but I successfully killed two heroes with control; in the end, only Galtran remained for the opponent, and he had no land. He tried to dig up his heroes with control but couldn't and decided to surrender. By the way, on 221 I did a red-rush: I bought archangel growth and attacked a loser, but on the other hand, it might not be considered a red-rush since that same day I was there with another hero with angels and was exchanging artifacts with the hero I attacked—meaning you could say I just upgraded some of my own—but in any case, the opponent forgave me without question.
Thanks for the game and the kindness )

I didn't buy Galtran the ground in the Conflux town, although I thought about it the whole game:) Out of several [towns], the only useful thing I drowned was wings, although Galtran grabbed a box for all the air on the 3rd [month]. I collected the Admiral's Hat, Boots of Levitation, books of Fire and Water, and a bag of gold:) On the SoD timer, I wasted 8 minutes on two powerful Necro players, one of them being Clavius with earth and Town Portal. I didn't have enough experience on such templates, and there's no time to think. Next! I started digging - plenty of money. On the first try, Clavius shows up!! Out of joy, I went like a fool against neutrals and fled from them. I wiped out Clavius :D I still don't know why I did that :confused: I built 4th level mage guilds, but kept getting Water Walking/Berserkers and other garbage, while my opponent immediately got Town Portal :( I farmed over 2k bone [dragons] and some stack of Monks, and only 2 Angels throughout the whole game, one of which died a horrible death. Against 20+ Archangels and Shakhti with Gunnar taking my towns on full control, I decided not to continue further.
Thank you for the game:)

I caved in the Underground, Troglodytes were average. On week 1, I took a Dwarf Cottage-fifteenth, an external dwelling of Minotaurs behind a Cerberi lot + I also placed them in the Citadel + portal. I popped 2 Griffin Conservatories (both big) and a Dragon Fly Hive. On week 2, I killed a Rampart computer, found another Conservatory and Stables on its territory. Shakti trained perfectly; by the time I took the first Conservatory, I had Expert Attack, Tactics, Logistics, and Earth with Sorcery. On day 127, I took a maxed-out Conservatory with the loss of 1 gr. Minotaur. On week 3, with supply lines, I took the second Conservatory (also max) and a Dragon Fly Hive without losses, dashed to the Rampart to replenish mana at the well, enter the Stables, and take a Conservatory (a two). The scout heroes, without wasting time, take another Dragon Fly Hive, break through to the treasure zone, I see many hives there. On my day 134, I see the opponent within reach. I fight with Shakti at a castle near the Treasury, bring up the army, and attack. My army: 27 gr. Minotaurs, 13 Ducks, 10 Angels, 77 Troglodytes, 13 Evil Eyes + singles. Opponent's army: 14 Rampart Horses, 4 Champions, 21 Ducks, 6 Monks, 5+1+1 Swordsmen. The presence of Oil, Mass Shield, and superiority in meat left no chance.

Thank you for the game.

On turn 116, I took my opponent's village next to his starting zone, and since he had a smaller army compared to mine, he gave up on turn 117. Thanks for the game.

I gave up in the underground, Troglodytes were mediocre; on week 1 I took a Dwarf Cottage-fifteen, an external dwelling of Minotaurs behind the Lvl 3 Cerberi, and placed them in the Citadel + portal. I revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories (both large) and a Dragon Fly Hive. On week 2 I defeated the ramp computer, found another Griffin Conservatory and stables on its territory. Shakti leveled up perfectly; by the time I took the first Griffin Conservatory I had expert Attack, Tactics, Logistics, and Earth with Slow. On turn 127 I took the max Griffin Conservatory with the loss of 1 upgraded Minotaur. On week 3, with reinforcement delivery, I took the second Griffin Conservatory (also max) and a Dragon Fly Hive without losses, went back to the ramp to refill mana at the well, enter the stables, and take a Griffin Conservatory (tier two). Scout heroes, without wasting time, take another Dragon Fly Hive and break through the exit into the treasure zone; I see many hives there. On my turn 134 I see the opponent within reach. I attack Shakti into the castle near the Treasury, bring up the army, and assault. My army: 27 upgraded Minotaurs, 13 Ducks, 10 Angels, 77 Troglodytes, 13 Evil Eyes + singles. Opponent's army: 14 ramp horses, 4 Champions, 21 Ducks, 6 Monks, 5+1+1 Swords. The presence of Slow, Mass Shield, and meat superiority left no chance.

Thanks for the game.

Bad generations for both players made us use all restarts, perhaps a bad decision was to take 112, but I noticed that opponent had advantage in that exact save so I risked and took restart. Unfortunately got very bad spawn, no gold and no cons in any of the zones that I went through, perhaps there was a slim chance that I could have won if I went more aggressive as I think I had more hives, but lots of archers were too much to beat with Castle army before 114, unfortunately it proved to be too much of a delay as opponent basically had 3 days advantage.

Thanks for the game, good luck in the next round.

3. The third Fortress Battle didn’t bring any results; I probably could have won, but it was already 5 AM, so I played very poorly and had to pay to avoid losing. My opponent had 3 Phantom Dragons left, and I didn’t have enough mana for Implosion. We both still had 6 castles, so we just kept running around…
Thanks for the game.
