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

Thank you for the game!
Saved the game, didn't finish it, there were few chances, and I had no desire to continue. I'm taking a 2-week break from Heroes. If I don't feel like playing after that, I'll withdraw. Thank you for the game!

I don't remember exactly, but two of my heroes, 18 Grand Knights, Kirr took a couple of villages along the roads, bought unique units, and rushed to the opponent's only village. There, right away, was an unbreachable +4 shield. Just as I was about to pick it up, the opponent surrendered due to the hopeless situation.

Thanks for the game!

I don't remember exactly, but it involved two of my heroes, 18 Grand Wizards, and Kirr taking a couple of towns along the paths. She bought some unique units and rushed to the opponent's only town. There, she immediately encountered an unbreachable +4 shield. Just as she was about to pick it up, the opponent surrendered due to the hopeless situation.

Thanks for the game!

I chose the Rest option, got a bad starting position, had no money, and the opponent showed up at the end of the week. Thanks for the game.

Of course, on turn 127, it was a clear forfeit: I had 2 Angels and 9 Dwarves in the Griffin Conservatory almost completely zeroed out, leaving 21 Griffins. Then, over 5 turns, 9 Angels, a ton of meat, 2 Dragon Utopias containing a Teapot, a Hat of +5 levels, +12 Knowledge, a Sphere of Vulnerability, +5 Spell Power. Contact is made. The opponent attacks on turn 135; I buy my way out, and on the next turn, by grabbing the Bracers, I would have killed him, but he surrenders.
Thanks for the game

I got a double, but the respawn gave a central one, no money, but there are 3 external dwellings of dwarves :D .
The first week was tough, poverty + a small starting army without elves. On 113 there was an epic fight: my 5 Grands+14 Centaurs+25 Dwarves against the computer which had 10 Elves+15 Dwarves+65:eek: Centaurs. Somehow I bent him over and took the double + captured the central Castle and scouted the opponent's strategic area with a View Air spell.
On the second week I took a Dragon Fly Hive on 8 and on 121 with 20 Grands, 8 Dragon Flies, and 5 Horned Demons without a spell book, I killed 48 Minotaurs:eek: , it was intense. I pinned the opponent to the Castle, but didn't assault the Castle itself.
On the third week I ate a Dragon Utopia trio, got nothing. On 136 I took all towns.
And on 142 the opponent capitulated, finding nothing tasty in the treasure zone.

thanks for the game
Thanks for the game!
There was a bit too little meat on the map, but 3 Dragon Utopia. However, same old terrible Kirri leveling didn't allow me to enter them in the third week. The map generated bugged and contact was inevitable.

In the first game, I gave the computer two bears that I had built myself, it took some effort. After that, things didn't go so well. Thanks for the game!

Everything was going well, and my opponent wrote that he was conceding. Thanks for the game.
That's what happened. I encountered a very aggressive brown AI, and it gave me a tough time. Thanks for the game.

The start was very brisk—got a +2 attack Axe, 2 stat boosts, so by turn 111 K grag has 9 attack—monsters are dying from an unupgraded ballista.

On turn 112 I hit a block, right behind the central guard of 20+ gr. minotaurs.

No way out—I go to the corner. There I don't see a path to the opponent, the treasure is completely empty, the initial briskness is gone.

On turn 1 Mighty Gorgons in the citadel → I buy up, on turn 122 I break through the minotaurs. Then a portal right to another center, there I take 3 Dragon Fly Hives totaling 18, a Griffin Conservatory 1st-level, on turn 126 the opponent runs out with gremlins and gr. nagas, takes my central town.

On the other side I take Griffin Conservatory 2nd-level, approach the opponent, the opponent has no money to buy back—GG.

Thanks for the game!
