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
Draw

19.04.2014 twaryna (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Mephala) def Javdet (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 6lm10a 135

Javdet picked all the rests, resulting in a very favorable deal for me - 2 roads, native opponent next to me, Mephala and Luna spawned, stable relatively close. During the first week, I took the village in my treasure zone and killed my native opponent. At home, I built 1-5 in the Citadel, the opponent had 1-3 in the Citadel + an external dwelling of dwarves. At the start of the second week, I thought about running to the treasure zone to the revealed Griffin Conservatory and a sword 2+2, but on day 121 I saw reds in the portal near my native opponent. Plan changes - full trade and I go on the attack. Ultimately, I routed them and captured the strategic territory. I took the opponent's Castle. Then Mephala took the Griffin Conservatory, a box for 10k experience, and went on to clear the treasure zone further. Luna also helped. Skirmishes occurred in the opponent's zone and adjacent zone. On day 133, I take the first Dragon Utopia - it gives a red orb. On day 135, the second Dragon Utopia - Wings and a Courser +10 speed. I fly to the 3rd Dragon Utopia + 2 Dragon Fly Hives, then a chain to another Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory 3-4. Surrender follows. Thanks for the game!

It happened. The opponent reached the opponent's Castle faster than I reached the fork. As it turned out, that fork was perfectly covered from his second Castle. And fighting a double wasn't appealing. I went back for the Dragon Fly Hives, didn't save me.

Thanks for the game.

You can't recall everything, because we played in 3 sessions. The start was fine, a Necromancer showed up, on 117 I took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, then everything went wrong — a snowy adjacent zone, one-way portals, I lose Xi to a Castle computer player, decide to send Tazar to the main area, meanwhile Kobar takes Castle from me with an AotD, I panic and go into the treasure zone, it gives stat boosts, I level Water Magic for healing, free a Mage from a prison, find an Armor spell scroll.

I run to the 2nd treasure zone, pick up more stats there, assemble my AotD. On 215 I take back my main area, put Archers there, then my Mage gets killed, I panic, there are birds, and the Mage has Sphere of Fire with an Armor spell scroll, but Tazar doesn't have one. On 222 I decide to rush his main area, and there everything is perfectly set up for speed. On the 1st turn and ip is 3.5k gg.

Thanks for the game!

I understand that everyone gets confused when they're excited, but please correct the dates, because having 122 Imps at level 3.5k, while level 115 Archons and AotD exist, smells like cheating :D

Wow, what a great host, spent 1000 messages making sure his tournament report was correct, we could use more like him :D
Better to spend time on that than confirming a loss :( And in general, I'll do what Genghis did, I'll just delete about 500 of my posts:D

The starting zone is large and there's a decent amount of gold.
Also there's an external dwelling of giants behind a pack of efreet and genies, and an external dwelling of gremlins and mages was captured.
I tried to build giants on week 1 - I was slightly short on draconic (dragon) crystals.
In the end, I built levels 1-6 in the Citadel.
Also at the respawn there are 3 conservatories, there is Isra, who got armor and log (logistics).
On the second week, I took the Necro (Necropolis) computer opponent and the secondary Dungeon (Dungeon faction), upgraded all troops except mages and golems, built giants and captured their external dwelling, also took the conservatories.
On the third week - I built Town Portal + Dimension Door in the Tower, took about 5 Dragon Utopias with Isra, who also got offense, captured the opponent's Castle, placed angels there and upgraded them. Then with Solmyr I jumped around taking castles from the Blue player, as a result of which he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

Please read the regulations – you have 2 weeks for the tournament!!!:mad: :smile22:

This is unclear; it's not obvious when the tournament starts. It would be helpful to add the tournament start date directly to the table. ;)

It's obvious, but it's unclear when the tournament starts. It wouldn't hurt to add the start date of the tournament directly to the table.
The tournament started on April 1st; is it really that hard to figure out when the 4th week ends? Or just scroll back 2-3 pages, or read my ICQ messages – I told you about the deadlines a couple of days ago.
The deadlines for the 3rd tournament month... you're really testing my patience if you can't even wait 2 weeks :D

The game was wild =). At the start of week 3, the opponent took my main and set up a simple trap, and I naturally fell for it, losing 60% of my army on the secondary hero and 4 angels on the main, having to buy back on turn 2 — I had no money =( . As a result, when I bought back on 135, I had 2 angels, 23 cows, and the opponent had built angels at their castle. At that moment, fortune decided I had enough failures and switched to the opponent =). Instead of finishing the game within 2-4 turns, the opponent got distracted by a Dragon Fly Hive in another direction, and then went to clear a treasure zone. Meanwhile, I picked up 2 scrolls that decided the course of our match — TP and DD — and built a level 5 guild. After that, it was just a matter of execution: I took the opponent's main, built angels there (the opponent had invested all their gold into buying Fairy Dragons, whose dwellings they found in the treasure zone), took 3 Dragon Utopias, built Archangels in the computer's castle, and organized an FB.
Thanks for the game.
