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

Just in case, Lizard is still participating in this tournament. Just to make sure he doesn't lose his skills completely. Because he barely had any to begin with.

We started without resets. Opponent had a double, but I had a convenient Stable on the road, Griffin Conservatory, lots of gold, plus my native in the tavern. Waited for the birds, went to take them. Got a lot of Dragon Fly Hives, so by 131 I had 10 Angels and 49 Dukes. On 125 I built a Mage Guild in Necropolis, got Town Portal and Armageddon. Went looking for the opponent and found him. Took 2 ramps, used other heroes with Earth magic and Town Portal to drain and scout. On 134 Moner goes into the treasure zone. At home in Conflux also only got Town Portal. On 136 I find Dimension Door, immediately set up a Chain for +6 All in the snows with a Green Dragon + Boots. But Moner still had moves left, I use Dimension Door and in the second Dragon Utopia they give KV, the Hat of All 5 Magics — great. On 141 I take another couple of Dragon Fly Hives with weak heroes now with Dimension Door and upgrade Dukes in the built village — becomes 70 Monarchs. I go towards Light based on Air scout and almost immediately stumble upon Kreg and catch him. Thanks for the game.

I confirm. Good spawn — double, got Necropolis and Kreg, on the respawn I scouted a Dragon Fly Hive, 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Utopia. Though everything was scattered. On the first day I took a Comp, Necro'd, took an external dwelling of Pegasi, at home built Horses. On the second day I leveled Earth magic on Stracker, started breaking Conservatories — no luck — 1+2+2. Dragon Fly Hive gave 6 Wyverns plus native army from the double. I'm planning to take the Dragon Utopia at the start of the 3rd. And then on 133, miracle Moner pops up — 23-15 attack-defense, 49 Dukes, 10 Angels, Phoenixes. Scary! Then he also scouts full Control. I build a Mage Guild in the Dungeon village — get Fly, but it's too late — no way to learn it. I take the Dragon Utopia — it gives stats. I see another Dragon Utopia in the sands. I go there with Stracker, take 2 Dragon Utopias, they give nothing. And right there in the sands, Moner catches me. No options in that deck, even though everything looked very promising. Thanks for the game!

P.S. I also want to try taking control of 2 Angels with a Castle on the first week. Where do they teach you how to do that? Is it in the "Novice" tournament? Then I'm signing up :D
What a bold novice we have here, he won't even let you win easily :D

Right away, two of our own are in the tavern, even with Gervulf, and even though it's a swamp, but then Ciel joins. On turn 113, we take the maximum-sized Necropolis, and on turn 114, Ciel stands ready to attack groups of 5-9 units for a gold mine, but at that time, Galtran decided to fight for a similar building with 46 units of dwarves on their territory. Thanks for the game!

Right away, I found two familiar players in the tavern, even though they were with Gervulf, and even though it was a swamp map, but then Ciel joined. On turn 113, I managed to secure a maxed-out Necropolis, and on turn 114, Ciel positioned himself to attack 5-9 groups of ducks for a gold mine, but at that moment, Galtran decided to fight for a similar building with 46 groups of dwarves on their territory. Thanks for the game!
Yeah, it was a loss. Thanks for the game.

We used up all our restarts; then came Pyra with one stack and Ignat with the same. Only Vidomina saved the day; by the end of the week, she had summoned 70+ skeletons, and we managed to build ifrits. We were preparing to attack the dwarf with reinforcements, but then we received news of a loss. The opponent decided not to continue; thanks for the game.

Tomorrow is the last day of the round, and a lot of games haven't been played yet; there's no information about many of them. Just a reminder: no report (no information) means no game... I won't rush or ask you to play; I have other things to take care of. You want tech – I have it. P.S. To avoid disqualifications, please confirm your reports.

Baker answered correctly, ODD is a mandatory day for those who can't match schedules, but yes, the deadline is May 19th, inclusive.

I confirm. I knew Castle was strong on Jebus Cross, tried it personally and didn't like it.
Thanks for the game!
