Posts from TOURNEY "Sea Battle" - rules and discussion

I can't understand one thing – in the adjacent section about the third game, they somehow play with strict deadlines, the judges monitor their compliance, and the question of awarding medals doesn't even arise. In the fifth game, for some reason, this seems like something extraordinary, something for which you should be awarded the Nobel Prize.

:) I wanted to note that there are many more players in the third game, but then I realized that this is not an argument in favor of my points:) Okay, but why not give a badge for judging every 2-3 tournaments? What's the big deal?!:) Look at the situation with tournaments for the 5th game – not a single champion, neither on the league nor on the HW! This should be an incentive for the judges!
Question: Should penalties be applied for unplayed matches with opponents who withdrew from the tournament or played a negligible number of games (not 20, but less than 1/4 – up to 5 games)?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no rewards are needed: I didn't take on organizing tournaments for that...

Look at the situation with the 5TE tournaments - not a single champion on either the league or HeroesWorld! An incentive for judges!

In Heroes 5, there are practically no active players left: what champions?!
Here the two of us, me and Noom, came to the CIS Championship 2014, but what else is there to say?

I think we won't apply penalties to those who stayed in the tournament and tried to play all their games just because, for example, killa disappeared for several months... Sanctions will be applied to those who didn't report in and vanished into oblivion.
In short, we will make a final decision by 01.06.2014.

I am in favor of penalizing players who have stopped playing and haven't written anything in the tournament thread (for example, about dropping out or being unable to play for a while, etc.).
Moreover, the penalty includes a ban from playing in the next tournament and the like.
Why show pity? Well, if 15 players remain on HeroesWorld and in the League, then maybe that's for the best — we'll know that these are players you can actually play with, instead of dragging things out.
I'll also write separately about Rakot. On Alex's advice, he took a break, then (about a month and a half ago) returned to the tournament, but there was practically no one to play with (he could play on weekends, but the remaining opponents were offline — I checked every weekend). He has a started game with Boyets — that still stands, as he wrote earlier — Rakot concedes his defeat.
But despite his return, I personally banned Rakot. So he will definitely miss the next tournament. And then I'll see how ready he is to play in tournaments.

P.S. If only a few active players remain, the round deadlines for the next tournament could be made longer than 7 (+3) days — for example, 2 weeks, or a limit could be set that by a certain date a certain number of games must have been played. Because sometimes you simply can't make the weekly deadline, and then it's very hard to finish games on a weekday — we all live in different time zones. Otherwise, for the next tournament, we'll set draconian rules and immediately lose the remaining players — especially since the vacation season is starting.

Just don't ban anyone.

So, after consulting, the judges have made the following decision: - Those who notified us of their withdrawal from the tournament will not be penalized. - Those who could have played and finished their games, including those who did not finish their games due to the fault of others, will not be penalized. - Players ElfElite, KillAndAction, Rakot, and Will will receive warnings as players who have not played almost half of their games. In conclusion, I propose that two players from each team (I think it makes sense for the players with the most sunk ships to compete) play a mini-tournament to determine the strongest team in this tournament.

Each player plays 2 games against each player from the other team. 2. The color, map, and faction must be different in each game. 3. The map is chosen before the faction. 4. The map is chosen in the 1-1-...-1-1 pattern. 5. The faction is chosen in the 1-2-...-2-1 pattern. 6. Each game is counted when calculating the results of the mini-tournament; only wins count. 7. In case of a tie in the number of wins, the team that won in the fewest number of days in all the games played in the mini-tournament wins the tournament. If you agree to this mini-tournament, please reply to the tournament thread by 05.06.2014 and provide a list of those who will participate in the mini-tournament. If no one replies from either team, the results of the tournament as of 25.05.2014 will be considered legitimate and will not be subject to review or dispute. I will send invitations to the mini-tournament to the participants of both teams today via private message and ICQ.

I'm ready to play four games, if that's what's needed.

Would you be ready to play 10 games? Two games each. Although, since Elf won't be playing, that leaves 8.

Only 2 players from the team play as Rubati...

I'm ready to play as many games as needed. :)

If needed, I don't mind.

I’m back and ready to play as much as needed. We can play 20 games with Ex, if he wants. We should also play a couple of games with Bradyaga.

Only 2 players from each team are participating...

I suggest having Moz and ABK on one team, and Exz and Bradiaga on the other.

14 days for 2 games + 4 days for completing them = 18 days. Start playing no later than June 5th, so you need to finish playing by June 24th... If anything is unclear regarding the rules of the mini-tournament, please write in the tournament thread before the games begin...

Let’s play a quick game; I’ll play a couple of test games now, as it’s been a month since I last played Heroes.

At the end of the tournament, awards will be presented in the form of an image displayed under the avatar. Awards will be given to the entire winning team and to the winner in the individual standings (mini-tournament games will also be taken into account).
