Posts from FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Navigation for the "HOMM3 online Tournaments" section
This topic is a support thread, primarily aimed at newcomers who are searching for and cannot find information that has long been available on the forum... Also, please leave requests here for including new articles, ask questions, and report inaccuracies and errors...
FAQ1. Who can I contact for specific help regarding this section? Our section administration: section coordinator Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873), whose nickname is highlighted in pink; the list of moderators is located in the lower right corner of the section - Pit for LM (ICQ 471401475), Mizrael (ICQ 27384379), Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983), numOne (ICQ 305035002), злой_романтик (ICQ 296524052), LeBron (ICQ 550279567), their nicknames are green. You can contact the administration using the Private Messages system (the entrance to it is located in the upper right corner of the page). This can also be done via ICQ or Skype. Contact details are easy to find in their profiles or in the tournaments they manage.
Registration Problems:
FAQ2. How do I answer the security system question? You can look for the answerhere.
FAQ3. How do I choose a suitable nickname? Everything I enter is already taken... Try using the user search system. At the top of each forum page, there is a link - Users; by clicking it, you can see a link in the upper right part of the page - User Search. Enter the nickname you would like to register with, and the system will show you registered users with similar nicknames. This will make it easier for you to choose a unique name. In addition to numbers, Latin and Cyrillic letters, the following symbols are allowed: =, @, #, & and others.
FAQ4. I registered on the forum, but I did not receive the promised email with account activation instructions. What should I do? Post a message in the topic "Account Activation Requests". Only users awaiting e-mail activation confirmation can leave messages here.
Account Problems:
FAQ5. I want to change my nickname because I don't like mine / I'm tired of it / there is confusion / it's unreadable ... etc. What should I do and what should I not do? Most importantly: do not register a second account, this is prohibited by the HW rules. To change your nickname, you need to post a message in the topic "Nickname Change on HW" and after some time, you will have your wish granted. Do not forget to inform the rating manager, tournament organizers, and your opponents about the nickname change afterwards. Try not to abuse the possibility of changing nicknames. Remember that a name does not make the man.
FAQ6. I forgot my nickname, forgot my account password, and the email used for registration no longer exists. What should I do and what should I not do? Well, things happen. Again, do not register a second account. You might be able to remember your nickname by using the User Search system (see FAQ3). If you forgot your account password, use the password recovery system. To do this, click the "Forgot Password?" link on any page requesting a password. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter the e-mail address you provided during registration. The system will immediately send an email with instructions on how to reset your password to that address. It is worse if the e-mail address no longer exists. In this case, it is necessary to contact the forum administration (see FAQ1). If you did register a clone to access the forum, be sure to contact the administration and inform them. In such cases, accounts can be merged. Do not wait until cloning is detected; registering two accounts is prohibited, and you may receive 50 penalty points.
Main Prohibitions and Penalties for Forum Rule Violations: It is forbidden to register more than one account, use profane language, insult or provoke users. The forum rules, which we all promised to follow during registration, can be refreshed in your memory by following the Help link located at the top of each forum page. For violations of forum rules, moderators are required to assign penalty points to the user. Upon accumulating 100 points, the user's account is automatically blocked by the system for 1 week. The fourth account block is the last; after that, no unblocking occurs. Main violations and the number of points assigned for them: - for registering more than one account - 50 points; - for using profane language - 10 points; - for insulting users - 25 points; - for trolling and flaming - 5 points. The full Penalty System can be found here.

FAQ7. How do I view comments in the Morale system? There is a Morale System on the forum.

Since January 2014, our section has introduced a system for automatic submission of reports, which works in special Tournament topics.
FAQ16. What are tournament topics and how do they differ from regular ones?
In our section Heroes 3 Tournament - Tournaments for Heroes 3 - ONLINE there are 2 types of topics: - regular topics, like on any other forum, which can be created by every registered user of the forum; they are dedicated to various issues related to the game, discussions, and problems; - tournament topics, which are currently being tested and refined. These topics are created to host HoMM3 online tournaments. Currently, only the forum coordinator Dirty_Player and the moderator responsible for maintaining the ranking in the HoMM3 section, Pit for LM, can create them. After all bugs are fixed and the structure is improved, the right to create tournament topics will also be granted to organizers of official tournaments.
Visually, tournament topics differ from regular ones in their structure. The first page of a tournament topic displays the following information: - dates of the tournament; - the very top post, repeated on each page of the topic, contains the currentinformation about the tournament (viewable in Russian and English); - then follows the post List of players, containing a list of participants with their contact details; - List of reports - reports of matches played within the framework of the tournament, with information about confirmation / non-confirmation of the game; - the block Participation in the tournament is also repeated on each page of the topic. It allows players to Register for the tournament by clicking this button. After submitting an application, the player sees the status of his application in this block, as well as a comment from the tournament organizer, and after being included in the list of participants, a button appears here: New report, by clicking which the player can write a report on the game; - Post No. 1 (and possibly several more) is usually created by the organizer and contains the rules, regulations, and organizational issues of the tournament; it must be read before registering for the tournament; - then follow standard posts for any topic: participant applications, discussions, comments on the tournament; - in addition, due to technical reasons, there is no Quick Reply option in tournament topics. To reply in the topic, any user can use the Reply button, which is located in two places: at the top and bottom of each page of the topic on the left side (see the second screenshot in this post).
FAQ17. How do I submit an application to participate in a tournament?
1. You need to read the information provided by the organizer about the tournament and think about whether everything suits you (the theme of the tournament, time limits, templates, deadlines per turn, etc.), as well as understand if you meet the organizer's requirements for participants (compliance with deadlines, level of play, availability of ways to contact you, etc.).
2. A mandatory requirement for most organizers is that you have an ICQ number. For the system to work correctly, it must be reflected in your profile. If you have one, then under your avatar you will see a small green daisy - the ICQ symbol. If you don't have one, you need to follow this algorithm:
or go to the link, which immediately takes you to Profile Editing.
It is also possible that the organizer requires having a login on Skype. The steps are the same - Nickname in Skype is entered on the same page at the bottom.
3. Leave an application in the tournament topic. To do this, click the button Register for the tournament:
At the same time, in your application, you must indicate the information required by the organizer (for example, in Favorites - favorite castle, in Beginner - your gaming experience, in OFB-8 - templates, etc.)
4. Wait for the organizer to review your application, after which you will see his comment in the field Participation in the tournament. Also, during the tournament, you need to pay attention to this field, as the tournament organizer may write a message about your current problems there.
Since January 2014, a special system has been implemented in our section that allows for automatic report generation. This system operates within dedicated tournament themes.
FAQ16. What is the difference between a tournament theme and other types of themes?
In the Heroes 3 Tournament - Tournaments in Heroes III - ONLINE section, there are two main types of themes: - Ordinary themes cover various topics, issues, and discussions related to the game. Any registered forum user can create them. - Tournament themes are currently under testing and development. These themes are specifically designed for online HoMMIII tournaments. Currently, only the forum coordinator, Dirty_Player, and the moderator responsible for the HoMMIII season, Pit for LM, can create these themes. Once all bugs are fixed and the structure is improved, organizers of official tournaments will also be granted the ability to create tournament themes.
Tournament themes differ from ordinary themes in their structure. The first page of a tournament theme contains the following information: - The rules of the tournament; - A top message that repeats on each page of the theme, providing up-to-date information about the tournament (Russian and English versions may be available); - The "List of Players" (Список игроков) displays a list of tournament participants along with their contact information; - The "List of Reports" (Список рапортов) lists submitted match reports, including confirmation status (confirmed (подтвержденный) / unconfirmed (неподтвержденный)); - The "Participation in the Tournament" (Участие в турнире) block appears on every page of the theme, allowing players to register for the tournament by clicking the "Application for participation (Записаться на турнир)" button. After submitting an application, the player will see the application status, comments from the tournament organizer, and, upon acceptance into the tournament, a "New report (Новый рапорт)" button. Players can use this button to submit match reports; - Post number 1 (and sometimes several following posts), typically written by the organizer, contains the rules, structure, and other relevant details about the tournament; it is essential to read this post before registering; - Subsequent posts contain applications, discussions, and tournament-related commentary; - Additionally, due to technical limitations, there is no "Quick Answer (Быстрый ответ)" feature in tournament themes. To respond, players should use the "Reply (Ответить)" button located at the top left or bottom of each page (as shown in the second screenshot).
FAQ17. How do I submit a tournament application?
1. First, carefully review the information provided by the organizer regarding the tournament and determine if the conditions are suitable for you (tournament theme, time limits, templates, deadlines, and other information). Also, assess whether you meet the requirements (skill level, communication skills, adherence to the rules).
2. Most tournaments require an ICQ account. Ensure that your ICQ number is added to your profile so that the system functions correctly. If you have an ICQ number but don't see the ICQ symbol next to your avatar, follow these steps:
Alternatively, click this link, which will take you to the Edit Profile (Редактирование профиля) page.
The organizer may also request your Skype login. The same procedure applies; enter your Skype nick name at the bottom of the same page.
3. Next, submit your application to the tournament theme by clicking the "Application for participation (Записаться на турнир)" button:
Provide all required information requested by the organizer (e.g., for the "Battle of the Favourites" tournament, specify your favorite castle; for the "New Players" tournament, indicate how long you've been playing online; for "OFB 8," provide template details).
4. Finally, wait for the organizer to review your application and check the Participation in the tournament (Участие в турнире) section for their comments. Pay attention to this field throughout the tournament, as the organizer may post updates or address any issues related to your participation.
FAQ18. How to properly submit and confirm a game report?
After your application is accepted and you have played a match within the tournament, you need to submit a report for the game. To do this, use the automated report submission system:
Click on the New Report button and go to the data entry form. Filling out all fields of the form is mandatory! A mini-demonstration of how to fill out a report is recorded in a video. Enter all required information about the game, write your comments and tell interesting details in the answer box, and don't forget to thank your opponent for the game. Click the Reply button.
