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

I immediately re-set, the opponent did not re-set. The distribution was decent; Tazar arrived and leveled up well, angel external dwelling, 2 cons, external market, in the refugee camp they gave a royal hydra on the first turn and a gold dragon on the second, not a single hive but it's fine without them. I entered the treasure zone on 124, captured the center, cleared Dragon Utopia and waited for the opponent. The opponent was average, and after ГО from archangels and another couple of guards who had to be fought without slow, it became quite bad.
Thanks for the game.

From the start they gave 195 troglodytes and cons 1, so I started playing. With expert earth, no oil was found; I went out with 28 ducks and 4 fights. Thanks for the game.

What is the nonsense that esteemed Calababa is talking about? Is it that before expressing his moral teachings, he should read the tournament regulations? I thought everyone knew that skirmishes in OFB are played this way, but no... In general, I recommend being more attentive next time, otherwise, newcomers will get confused ;)
I already had a discussion in the Crusader forum about M200; I don't want to get into it again. The people voted for the M200 template, but they ended up with something unclear (an unverified version of the template) just because the organizers decided so. So, do you think people, when voting for a skirmish, thought it wouldn't be random? Or maybe there was a lot of pre-played, haphazard skirmish in the seasonal games? In the end, you put people in an awkward position. The template doesn't allow capturing a castle on day 112; it's just absurd. I'm even surprised that you didn't have a lot of complaints about this, but I guess you had some plan for it, new rules, or something else. I hope you at least played at 200%, although that's your business. I'm also interested in the opinion of the tournament judges on this issue: what were they guided by when choosing this system?

Who are we worried about? I haven't heard any complaints about this, and yes, people knew what they were voting for when they voted for skirmish. You should have looked at the OFB reports on the skirmish before criticizing. Do you really think there was all-random in even one match? :D
P.S. The judges are aware. :)
P.P.S. - Correction, in one match, there was all-random. ;)
Maybe that's enough off-topic – you know my ICQ

both without logistics throughout the game - that's probably why it took so long
on turn 124, I moved to the center, collected everything along the way, refueled, and headed to the enemy castle, where it all ended; Cephora and SM at level 27, unfortunately, Crag didn't have the Red Sprite
thanks for the game

spent all rest stats. moreover, in the last generations there were blocks.. and in the game there was a block right at the Castle — 30 ogres for a Pandora's Box. scattered them with the loss of 13 gnolls, gave 10k experience. Tazar immediately level 8. easier from there. opponent wrote about forfeiting. declined auto. thanks for the game
Confirmed! I chose Gunnar as my starting hero, and in the last generation Shakti came, albeit with 2 stacks. on day 112, broke through 29 wood for a Pandora's Box, wiped out half of the Troglodytes, the box was empty. then another box for 90 gr. [of] Devils, also empty. on day 114, I attack 10+ fanatics for a box, because there was nowhere else to go. I thought Gunnar with Expert Tactics, 70 Troglodytes and 11 Evil Eyes would handle it, but there were 16 or 18 of them and they were set up in 5 or 6 stacks. forfeit....

I didn't choose the restart; I played a questionable opening with 2 small Hive units, a couple of Hydras, and a Phantom Dragon from the refugee camp on turn 112. The only good thing was that it pleased the Necropolis player, but there was no army at all, and as always, there wasn't enough time. On turn 122, I would have been able to break through with the Goblin King instead of the planned turn 121, but I received news of the surrender.
Thank you for the game.

Only the Necropolis was happy, but there was no army at all, and as always, there wasn't enough time.

Thank you for the game.
Two dungeons with cyclops summons, two of them. Two dryads on level 10. Nothing else useful on the map.
GO with 80 ifrits from the graveyard wiped out all the meat except the cyclops and 4 dryads (only mass haste was available).
Then, a block of 31 angels. No chance.

Javdet picked all the rests, and in the end we got an excellent deal for me - 2 roads, native opponent nearby, Mephala and Luna appeared, a stable relatively close. In 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, opponent had 1-3 in the Citadel + an external dwelling of dwarves. At the start of the second week I was thinking of running to the treasure zone towards a revealed Griffin Conservatory and a sword 2+2, but on day 121 I saw reds in a portal next to my native opponent. Plan changes - full-trade and I go on the attack. In the end I chased them off and captured a strategic territory. I took the opponent's Castle. Then Mephala took the Griffin Conservatory, a box of 10k experience, and went on to clear the treasure zone. Luna also helped. There were skirmishes in the opponent's zone and an 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 cape +10 spell power. I fly to the 3rd Dragon Utopia + 2 Dragon Fly Hives and then a chain to another Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory 3-4. Concession follows. Thanks for the game!
Thanks for the game.
