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

He somehow used up all his restarts quickly, so all I could do was take a decent loss, which is what happened. A bunch of Dragon Fly Hives, a hydra den, and Taz with earth, logistics, offense, and scouting. The GO was quite far, so I exited on 124, with a hard fail. The GO had 6 stacks — I had to fight 4: 10+ Archangels, 10+ Chaos Hydras, 20+ Ghost Dragons (and here was the fail — I took the town with a scout hero at the GO, but to exit into the center there were 2 more guards, and I forgot to return a stack of 63 ducks to Taz and attacked 28 dragons, but 7 hydras and 12 cows plus singles pulled it off, though I ended up with 3 hydras left), then I hit 50+ Thunderbirds and barely made it into the third week. Managed to get wings, a chalice, and a Dragon Fly Hive just as the blues surrendered. There at the GO were titans and immediately a block of 25 of the same titans.
Thanks for the game!

I thought I already confirmed this, strange.
Anyway, very dull generations — I used up all restarts on them, then it dealt a better hand than all three previous times combined, but first the GO titans (I broke through fairly easily), then immediately a block of 26 titans (no way around), for the best artifacts in the world — KO, the black orb, a cartographer, and a scroll, but I broke through those too, though I had about 200 creatures left after that, and then I barely lost against 16 Sheds (also, of course, no way around, and I had no oil).

Thanks for the game!

There isn't much to tell.
At the start, 2 of my units arrived, followed by Enova. Solmir took the Pandora unit for the entire first level, and Enova went down the road. As a result, Solmir turned into a weakling.
Then, 2 weeks of running around, and then I ended up at the opponent's location because there was nowhere else to go.
He attacked with an army of 3 angels, 16+1+1 ogres, and a few goblins. I had 200 gremlins, 5 nagas, 6 mages, and 12+1 gargoyles. I had slow, a shield with mass earth, and bless, but only 1 spell point. I had to think for a bit because there was a teleport there, but I managed to protect the gremlins and eliminate everyone.
Thanks for the game.

Not much to tell.
From the start I got 2 native dwellings, then Yenogu joined them. Solmyr took a Pandora's Box for the entire first level, and Yenogu went along the road. It turned out that Solmyr became a scout hero.
Then 2 weeks of running around, then I showed up at my opponent's because there was nowhere else to go.
He attacked with an army of 3 Angels, 16+1+1 Ogre Mages, and a few Goblin stragglers. I had 200 Gremlins, 5 Nagas, 6 Mages, 12+1 Gargoyles. I had Slow, Shield, with mass Earth and Bless, but only 1 spell power. Had to think for a bit because there was Teleport, but I managed to protect the Gremlins and shoot everyone down.
Thanks for the game.

At the respawn there are 2 Griffin Conservatories and an external Ogre dwelling. Bait — barely built Ogres and Birds in the citadel. Troops were hard to buy. On week 2 I took Conservatories 1 and 2. Once I saw the red flags, I should have attacked them. Wolves were lost to morale from neutrals while pushing toward the red player. Without Haste in FB it was tough. I made mistakes and ultimately lost. Even though I had Expert Air Magic, it was useless without Haste — frustrating. Also, Resurrection didn't transfer; apparently I need to advance Wisdom for Alamar too, even though he has Resurrection in his spell book. Could have gone for a third town — scouting showed an abundance of Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia there — but I played how I played. Thanks for the game!

The opponent took a rest in the generation where I had two native heroes in the tavern. The second time, Galtran immediately entered the tavern with two stacks, no more rests followed.
Built the second level, there are two roads, everything looks promising. In the end, it turned out the roads lead to the underground in the same zone, with one ending at an exit portal and the other at a block (behind which a dead-end town was later found). I took an external dwelling of wyverns, thought birds would spawn, but no. On day 117, I attack 20-49 medusas for a pandora's box, there are 49 of them, I take a beating, but I still claim the pandora with 10k experience. Next on the plan is a Dwarf Cottage, it turns out to be huge, I go in anyway - maximum... In short, a complete loss, final and irrevocable, the birds don't spawn. I build a Citadel, buy out Galtran, pass the turn.

Then Galtran ran around with three berserkers, finished the Dwarf Cottage, the birds spawned. At a respawn, I claimed the throne, torso, and arms of the legion, took another Dwarf Cottage, an external dwelling of air, didn't advance anywhere further.

On the third week, I take a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns, break through a block of basilisks, a pandora for gold, along the way I bought two birds in a refuge and hit a village. There, I also squeezed an external dwelling of fire and clashed from there. There is a Dragon Utopia.
Then I ran off-road towards the pink Conflux, took it, then a green ramp, and the roads ended again. There is also a one-way portal leading to the opponent.

On day 142, I take my Dragon Utopia, it's max, I lose 6 birds and a lot of mana drain, it gives a red orb, a kettle, a thunder helm, and boots of levitation. At home, in the Mage Guild level 4, nothing useful. I ran into a one-way portal, blocking the opponent with a scout hero, took boots, a shield +6, ended up at a Dragon Utopia, it gives КЗ. Valeska, meanwhile, starts taking Dragon Utopias that I saw from the lookout since the first week. In the home Mage Guild level 5, earth summoning.

On day 211, Valeska is standing next to my second Conflux, only 16 mana. I'm short a scout hero in the chain to claim the bracers and cover her on the same turn, I attack without them. Valeska has control and she will return to the unclaimed Dragon Utopias, so I just blow up a stack of 27 Wyverns with explosion. Then she returns with 5 archangels and a behemoth, collecting the Dragon Utopias.
Galtran, meanwhile, travels for three days to another Dragon Utopia, which I also saw since the first week. Along the way, I take a necklace +3 all stats, enter a library, in the Dragon Utopia it gives 4/4 armor and a titan's sword, stats noticeably increased, but no control.
On day 217, Valeska takes the second Conflux, Galtran blasts off in the first. I sell artifacts for resources, build a Mage Guild level 5 in the village, it gives flight. Galtran is two moves short of the Conflux, I stand next to it. The opponent destroys several scout heroes, in the meantime, I kill 6 of my own berserkers with fire damage. However, the opponent didn't check the shackles, and attacked next with Valeska. Mana is equal, I have higher stats, a fatter behemoth.
Thanks for the game!

Couldn't handle the 3rd round (after saving, I thought it was the 2nd). Thanks for the game. P.S. Due to the lack of tournament prospects and the lack of time because of my diploma (I still need to finish "One for All"), I ask that you remove me from the tournament. Roma, please don't be mad, I don't want anyone to adjust their strategy to play against me.

It was a thing. Start was fine, horses in Castle.
But by the second week, clouds began to gather. Griffin Conservatory on the starting respawn - mini, along the path - only portals, took 4 central villages, and around them it was like a desert, only near one village I finally shook out three Dragon Fly Hives.

On day 127 I moved the horses to the corner treasure zone, and it was somewhere over there, on the edge of the map, I did take КВ there, but couldn't reach the Dragon Utopia, angels came only on day 141.

On the fourth week, Valya jumps into the second corner treasure zone, and there, on day 146 at yet another Dragon Utopia, the spacebar fails, had to retreat - losing 282 movement points. On day 147, 100 movement points short to open Dungeon - Valya without acceleration. On day 211 Valya jumps, but is 75 movement points short to take the double-conf. Gosha Town Portal, Valya without mana - from an imp Valya loses all 27 Wyverns.
Came back through three Dragon Utopias with 5 Archangels, took the double, Gosha was a hundred movement points short, but with 3 scout heroes didn't bother to check for Shackles.
Game result
Thanks for the game!

YaR buys 4 Efreeti from growth to add to the two already owned, throws in 6 unit stacks of Gremlins and attacks my scout hero with 4 Gogs, 8 Gremlins, and 4 Dogs. In the first round after Haste for the round, Dogs go to the center and a Gremlin falls from the Gogs. In the second, Dogs fall from 6 Efreeti and a Gremlin from the Gogs. In the third, Gogs fall. Opponent has 2 Gremlins in losses.
But without growth, 2 Efreeti only take down two Dogs, and the remaining pair of Dogs gets the third Gremlin. The difference in losses is 1.5 times.

Why does the rule not apply:

2.1.1. Red-rush is prohibited:
b) against heroes ..... if the presence of growth could affect the ..... losses in the battle for either player.

Considering that in the last quarter, 20% of my games end with my red-rush, this question is very relevant.

So what about the red-rush? Will there be explanations? Because so far it looks like players are playing by one set of rules, and the judge by another

On the fourth week, Valya jumps into the second corner treasure zone, and there, on 146 at another Dragon Utopia, the spacebar fails; I had to disconnect - lost 282 movies. On 147, short by 100 movies to open the Dungeon - Valya has no momentum.

The spacebar usually fails after pressing TAB to send a message. Then the game writes that space into the message.

It's almost insulting that they keep giving me the same skirmish map for 3 rounds in a row, especially since I recently won a tournament on it. They don't seem to respect me at all. :D
On turn 126, there was a typical papal misclick, where instead of killing Aislinn Solmyr, I made her wander around the secondary base. As a result, on turn 127, my opponent was sitting in my main base, and on turn 131, I placed a GM4 in his Necropolis and killed him in my own castle with a chain attack.

It's almost offensive; for 3 rounds in a row they give me the skirmish map where I recently won a tournament. No respect at all. :D
On 126, there was the usual papal misclick, when instead of killing Aislin, Solmir ran off to wander around the secondary zone. As a result, on 127 the opponent was sitting in my main, and on 131 I placed gm4 in his necropolis secondary and killed him with a chain-sword in my own Castle.

Throughout the game I was forced to retreat due to a lack of bolts and arrows, but alas, all 3 treasure zones were completely empty.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. I didn't have the right to use starfall; I cast it because it was already the end, but eagle eye carried everything anyway :D .

We started without resets. Opponent has a double, but I have a convenient stable on the road, Griffin Conservatory, lots of gold, + a native in the tavern. Waited for the birds and went to capture. Got a lot of Hives, so by week 1, day 3, I had 10 Angels and 49 Monks. On day 1, week 2, in Necropolis, I built a Mage Guild, got Town Portal and Armageddon. Went looking for the opponent and found him. Took 2 Ramparts, used other heroes with Earth Magic and Town Portal to scrounge and scout. On week 1, day 3, week 4, Moneer goes into the treasure zone. At home in Conflux, they only gave Town Portal too. On week 1, day 6, I find Dimension Door, immediately set up a chain for +6 All in the snow with a Green Dragon and Boots. But Moneer still had moves, I use Dimension Door, and in the second Dragon Utopia they give KВ, a hat for all 5 schools of magic — excellent. On week 2, day 1, I take another couple of Hives with rubbish heroes now, also with Dimension Door, and upgrade the Monks in a constructed village — there are now 70 Monks. I go towards Light based on Air Scrying and almost immediately run into Kreg and take him down. Thanks for the game.

You can't remember everything, since we played in 3 sessions. The start was okay, a Necro showed up, at 117 I took the Griffin Conservatory [for] 2, then everything went bad, a snowy adjacent zone, one-way portals, I lose Ciele at the enemy's Castle, I decide to send Tazar into the main zones, meanwhile my Cobra captures the Castle with AOTD, I panic into the treasure zone, it gives stats, I invest in Water for Healing, from a prison I free a Mage, I find an Armor scroll.

I run into the 2nd treasure zone, I increase stats there too, I assemble my AOTD. At 215 I take my main zone back, I place Archers there, then they kill my Mage, I panic, there are birds, and the Mage has an Orb of Fire with an Armor scroll, Tazar doesn't have Orb. At 222 I decide to run to his main zone, and there they are all tailored for speed. 1st turn and IMPLOSION at 3.5k HP.

Thanks for the game!

I built Fly twice in both Towers, flew to the opponent, but because I was afraid to break the rules of the damned Guard, I landed in the wrong place, and during the next turn I didn't make it to the Castle (it was just the start of a new week). My opponent built Town Portal and bought everything on the same turn, and I also revealed my AOTD, nonsense basically..... Then I gathered a huge pile: 800 Master Gremlins, 1000+ Skeletons, a hundred Wyverns, and some misc stuff like a dozen Angels, twenty Phoenixes..., but they just wouldn't give me Dimension Door, as usual: no Utopia, towers built everywhere, a bunch of Pandora's Boxes and scrolls collected, but without Dimension Door you simply can't win, one Fly with Town Portal isn't enough to capture Castles. Finally, in yet another Pandora's Box, Deesa gets Dimension Door, Solmyr runs around with Expert Scout, there are 2-3 leveled Necromancers with Town Portal, I'm getting ready to win, when they skillfully corner me and crush my forces one by one. (that's why I don't like 6lm10, Castles here are close together, not as reliably defended as on mm6 :D )
Thanks for the game!

PS. I also want to take the Griffin Conservatory for 2 Angels at the Castle on the first week. Where do they teach that? In the "Novice" Tournament? Then sign me up :D
