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

Both players chose all resource locations and ended up with terrible spawns. I had only one path to the treasure, due to the mine, and in the tavern, I found the Papal artifact, Gervulf, but nearby was the artifact, Goshan. Goshan got lucky with the log and earth artifacts, and on level 113, he defeated the perches. On level 114, he defeated Pandora with 90 gnolls. On level 115, I received a message that he had surrendered.
Thx for game!

I confirm. The map was absolute garbage. The wood and ore mines could only be reached via a winding, off-road path around the town. I couldn't build cavaliers and was forced to attack lizard warriors with a slow army. I won the battle but lost too much and didn't want to continue this garbage. Thx for game.

No restarts were needed. By the second week, 1234 units were built in the Fortress, although after breaking through 10+ Djinns in a single turn on the Barbarian map, only 10 air units remained, besides the Moths, but Lacus on level 121 brings in six more. I took 2 villages, and Ciel with the Archery skill at 90 lays down blocks left and right, advancing with Water and Earth magic, basic Wisdom, and Armor. The plan is to take 2 Gold Mines and build Birds. On turn 123, the opponent refused to continue, something went wrong.
Thanks for the game!

There was nowhere to run, as it turned out, there were ranged blocks everywhere. After breaking through a ranged block on the second turn, I saw two other ranged units + a Portal, I broke through one of them with troop losses and got stuck against the other... gg.

We cleared all the rests. Opponent cut two of my fat Schisms. Dismissed Necro and Gunnar, but the Necro thing didn't really work out. However, I quickly picked up my own Swamp Ranger and Barb. The tempo wasn't the best, but mid-second month I Earth-Expertised Gunnar and wandered over to the only Griffin Conservatory. With a Mirth Shield, 40 mana, 140 Gremlins, 4 Mages, 7 Thundertitans, 12 Golems, plus a few Harpies and an Ammo Cart, I charged in. It was a max roll, superb, no critical morale. So I dealt with it, losing 5 Golems, 2 Birds, the Mages, and the stragglers. After that, it was easier. I started farming everything alive. By day 135, I built Town Portal. Collected 50 Vivi, and from day 141, I took 2 Dragon Utopias I found. They gave Wings and a Stat. Found Boots, upgraded Monarchs. Gunnar was zipping around like a torpedo with a perfect 22-level build. Scouting revealed where the opponent was, and I caught up to him pretty quickly. Just in time — he was in a treasure zone rich with Utopias. I closed in, and he conceded without a Fireball. Thanks for the game.

Cleared all the rests, the opponent cut 2 of my massive setups, surrendered Necro and Gunnar, but the necro-build didn't really pan out; however, I quickly grabbed my AI swamp-dweller and barb. The tempo wasn't the best, but in the middle of the second week, I got expert earth for Gunnar and headed toward the only confluence with oil shield, 40 mana, and 140 gremlins, 4 mages, 7 thunder birds, 12 golems + single harpies and an ammo wagon. I burst in, and it was a max stack—super! There were no critical morale swings, so it was cleared with losses of 5 golems, 2 birds, and the mages with singles. It was easier after that; started farming everything alive, built TP by 135, gathered 50 vivs, and from 141 took the 2 Dragon Utopias I found, which gave wings and a stat. Found boots, upgraded monarchs; Gunnar zoomed around like a torpedo with perfect scaling at lvl 22. Using scrying, I spotted where the opponent was and caught up to him quite quickly—just in time, as he was in a treasure zone rich in Dragon Utopias. I crushed him, followed by a surrender without FB. Thanks for the game.

That's how it went.
Thanks for the game!

External dwelling of minotaurs, double computer, two portals, home minotaurs. In week 3, Kirya appeared in the tavern; I realized the game was already lost and rushed to visit with her. Captured the starting castle, and there I also picked up the Griffin Conservatory 4. A bit further, I broke a Dragon Utopia with КВ and wings. The opponent decided to surrender. Thanks for the game.

They accidentally played a week of Jebus Cross on Toffslow at first. Then we picked all the remaining 6lm [level 6 maps? unclear — kept as is]. Then a 4 player [4re — kept as is] match happened for the encounter. In the end, we decided to flip a coin, and I was luckier. Thanks for the time

Good start with birds in Citadel on the first. Eventually it all turned into moaning. On 227, having only Town Portal against my full control, Red capitulated.

Thanks for the game.

P.S. made a mistake somewhere filling out the form, Moner came as the starter.
I confirm. Tazar had good parameters, a decent army under the red orb, but never found control, decided not to waste time. Thanks for the game!

I built two fifth-level towers, switched to Dungeon, and got Transport Magic closer to the endgame. I broke 4 Dragon Utopias and stole one from under the opponent's nose with a teapot. On turn 217, Moner attacks me in the swamp and runs into a red orb; his stats are 18-12 and 19 Archangels, 64 Wyverns, 10 Beholders, 49 gr Fanatics, 110 Archers, 120 gr Wolves, and 37 gr Zealots. My stats are 29-40, 61 gr Wyverns, 24 gr Minotaurs, 14 gr Cats, 15 Vases, 30 Evil Eyes, and 22+1 Serpents. The Fanatics shoot at the Wyverns at the very start of the battle and only deal 25 HP damage. After that, everything becomes clear.
Thanks for the game!
