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

The opponent was completely exiled, I didn't take any. In the tavern Lore:mad:, near the house an external dwelling of dragons for 50+ lizards, further along the road 2 beehives with inconvenient guards, there's a flask +2 HP behind the Magogs and a box for 5-9 gr Nagas. I wanted to take the rest, but decided to play while there was a reserve + Shakhti immediately gets Earth. 50 lizards and the external dwelling of dragons fall on day 2 without problems, 40 Troglodytes remain, but with 2 dragons it's already pleasant. On day 3, the gr Nagas fall, and the box turned out to have a level 5:smile07: There's no Book of course, let alone Wisdom. I capture the flask, take the Dwarf Cottage and burned the box for 50+ thieves - I take it there! There, of course, is also magic, only level 2, so again no luck. Nearby lies a sword +2+2 and a shield +3+3, I take them. I broke Shakhti home and ran to take the beehives. By day 121 I collected 3 out of 4 discovered beehives (the last one on the way to ГО). I made 100 mana and ran to ГО. On day 122 I'm at the start against regular Nagas, meanwhile I also captured speed boots and a speed ring. 4 red dragons, 28 ducks, 100+ gr Troglodytes broke through to the center. Shakhti leveled up as needed - Defense, Log, Earth, Slow from a scroll. I immediately take the sword +5 all along the way. The following days I took a box for 20k experience, a couple of beehives, a sword +4 all, Nila level 30 from the prison took the Dragon Utopia for a cuirass and gloves, Shakhti with basic Wisdom grabbed a Pandora's Box for all magic with Archangels.. and a Pandora's Box for 30 trees. On day 126, Kyrre attacks me:
Kyrre 8-18-4 (11)
Shakhti 17-17-24 (52)
In terms of army, there's a slight advantage on my side.
Oil, Mass Haste, and a 600+ Bolt decided it.
Thanks for the game!

I made a mistake in a couple of moves, which is why I lost.
Thank you for the game.

I was very surprised by the opponent's choice. At the very end of the draft, I realized I had forgotten to check Necromancer and was sure they would pick it. I was mentally preparing to play as the Dwarf, but then the opponent... Rampart. Well, the choice is obvious :)
The opponent used all restarts, even forcing me to re-roll a Gosh with an Amulet of +5 at one point. I still had the option to look for a chocolate box, but I decided to play.
By week 1, day 12, I already had 3 castles and over 100 skeletons. I found a well right next to the Necromancer's secondary town, so there were no mana issues for Tanta. I also found 2 hives there. All the mines were guarded by Troglodytes — perfect for Necromancer. I started building Liches, bought up units with trade, and began necromancing :D At the start of week 2, I scouted right above myself and spotted Bron with a standard week 1 army — Grand Elves, a few Wyverns, and Centaurs. I decided to attack, took 2 hives, bought everything from my main and secondary town, ending up with 6 Liches, 14 Harpies, and 160+ skeletons. I defeated the GO and headed toward the opponent, where I took a level 1 Dwarf dwelling and gained a few more skeletons. I saw another hive, but then the opponent attacked — army: 4 Unicorns, 14 Grand Elves, 6 Wyverns, regular and upgraded Centaurs, and Dendroid Soldiers. The Fearless battle lasted until we ran out of skeletons; there was nothing to counter them with, plus the Harpies had already killed almost all Centaurs and all Grand Elves.
Thanks for the game

Those guys are awesome in skirmishes! You probably played on 160, right? And by the way, Necropolis is OP in skirmishes.

I was very surprised by the opponent's choice. At the very end of the notch, I realized I had forgotten to check the Necromancer and was sure they would pick it. I myself was already mentally preparing to fight as a Miner, but then the opponent... Rampart. Well, the choice is obvious :)
The opponent used all restarts, even restarted Gosha with an amulet of +5 on me. I still had the opportunity to look for chocolate, but decided to play.
By week 1, day 12, I already had 3 castles and over 100 bones. I found a well right next to the Necro secondary town, so no issues with mana for Tanta. I also found 2 beehives there. All mines were guarded by Troglodytes — perfect for Necromancer. I recruit Liches, buy everything with trade, and start necromancing :D At the beginning of month 2, I scout directly above myself with the view spell and spot Bron with a standard week 1 army — Grands, a few Crocodiles, and Centaurs. I decide to attack, take 2 beehives, buy everything in my main and secondary town. I end up with 6 Liches, 14 Ducks, and 160+ bones. I hit the ГО and head to the opponent. I took a Dwarf dwelling 1 there, bones increased a bit. I saw another beehive, but then the opponent attacks — army: 4 Horsemen, 14 Grands, 6 Crocodiles, regular and upgraded Centaurs, and Dendroids. The fortress battle lasted until the bones ran out. There was nothing to counter them with, plus the Ducks had already killed almost all Centaurs and all Grands.
Thanks for the game
Yes, that's how it was, young and green. And the damn site wasn't working. I forgot that the secondary town is always Necromancer in skirmish.
Oh, and aren't they checked off in skirmish?

The somehow quickly spent all my rest stats, so all I could do was catch a decent comeback, which is what happened. A ton of Dragon Fly Hives, a stash of Hydras, and Taz with Earth, Logistics, Attack, and Scouting. The ГО was quite far, so I exited at 124, with a hard fail. The ГО had 6 stacks – I had to fight 4: 10+ Archangels, 10+ Chaos Hydras, 20+ Ghost Dragons (this is where the fail happened – I took a town with a scout hero at the ГО, and to exit into the center there were 2 more guards; I forgot to return the stack of 63 Ducks to Taz and attacked 28 Dragons, but 7 Hydras and 12 Cows plus singles pulled it off, though I crawled out with 3 Hydras). Next, I hit 50+ Thunderbirds and barely made it to the third month. I managed to grab Wings, a Chalice, and a Dragon Fly Hive when the Blue player surrendered. There, the ГО was Titans and immediately a block of 25 of the same Titans.
Thanks for the game!

3-skirmish (played according to OFB rules, i.e., with fixed castle types and without changing colors, but you can play with seasonal rules, i.e., all random, if you both agree).

Well, even scholars... the leading OFB players will be teaching the OFB regulations... the main question is, for whom are the regulations being written? facepalm

I immediately restored my town; my opponent didn't restore his. The distribution was good; a Taazar came and leveled up well. I had an external dwelling of angels, 2 consulates, and an external market. In the refugee camp on level 1, I got a Greater Hydra, and on level 2, a Golden Dragon. There were no hives, but it was still okay without them. I went to the treasure zone at 124, captured the center, farmed Dragon Utopias, and waited for my opponent. My opponent was doing moderately well, but after getting Archangels from GO and a couple more guards that I had to fight without slowing effects, things became quite difficult.
Thanks for the game.

What exactly is the nonsense, dear Kalababa? Is it that before expressing your moral judgments, you should read the tournament rules? I thought everyone knew how skirmishes are played in OFB, but apparently not. In general, I recommend being more attentive next time, otherwise, newcomers will get confused.

spent all their rests. Moreover, in the last few turns, there were blockades... and in the main game, there was a blockade right near the castle with 30 Ogres guarding Pandora. I scattered them, losing 13 Gnolls, and gained 10k experience. Tazar immediately leveled up to 8. It became easier after that. The opponent wrote that he had lost. He declined the rematch. Thanks for the game.
