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

reached level 123 using Necropolis with a couple of Angels, five Draconians + horses + 300 skeletons. Gosha used Earth Magic and Tactics. But the opponent on level 124 decided to surrender for some reason.
Thanks for the game!

I confirm. I suicided in full cons wk2 but the map was hopeless, and I should have given up much earlier.

Mid-tier respawn: dragon external dwelling, a couple of bone external dwellings and a few Dragon Fly Hives. Came out at the start of the second with Dwarves and skeletons, captured the central Castle, scouted around. Managed to take a lot of good stuff before the opponent, but spent a lot of meat, however Crag didn't force. Over the week gathered a few skeletons, took a couple of Dwarves, full control and stats. All that remained was to pick up the Cuirass +1 to all for AA when Crag finally made contact and took the Castle from which I was planning to fly for the armor. Flew the long way around, filling mana to the brim, but was attacked. AoD and Cloak were there, but Lightning with Orb of Air and Mass Haste pulled it through. Thanks for the game.
lost tempo somewhere, which caused all the hero troubles ))
thanks for the game

I chose Ivor, strangely enough. In the dungeon, I immediately took Ryland, leveled up diplomacy, grand artifacts didn't work out, but I got cat artifacts, which gave me the "Fly" spell. In the treasure room, I stole a helmet with +10 to all stats. I found a well near a house and spent the entire second week stealing from the treasure room. I stole so much that I stopped because of the loot limit, with a sword +6 to all stats and bracers against air units :D. This was the first time Ivor let me down and showed me how bad I am at calculating movement points. Maradjan was very happy about that, the scoundrel. He's not playing now, but he watches my games. My opponent gave me a rematch, and we played for a draw. On turn 127, I caught Mullich and defended the boots. On turn 131, I had a 3-star console + fortress = 3 archers. My opponent attacked, but he had no chance. Thanks for the game!

In the treasure room, I stole a helmet +10 for the Dark Dragon. I had a well near my house, and I spent the entire second week stealing from the treasure room. I stole so much that I stopped with a stolen sword +6 all stats and bracers against air units :D. This was the first time Ivor let me down and showed me how bad I am at counting moves.

That's exactly how it happened. I'll add that we played anarchy without restarts. Thanks for the game.

In the 1st week, I took 2 Necropolis Inferno towers.
In the Necropolises, I placed vampires. I upgraded them to level 3, and with 18 vampire lords, I broke the enemy's level 4 castle.
I took a couple of hives, converted skeletons, and ended up with 270 of them.
On day 127, I destroy a level 1 Utopia. They give wings! On day 131, a level 3 Utopia with a Knight's Hall and +3 to all stats.
Next, I double my mana and seize the central treasure (there are 4 hives, Boots of Swiftness, and Pandora's Box, covering the entire map). After that, on day 134, an Army of the Dead gathers in the Dungeon.
From days 135 to 141, Gunnar, with 4300 movement points, takes several castles, defeats the Utopia, and with a growing number of vampires, attacks Vistan with a powerful army.
Thank you for the game!

Played a preemptive move for the next round.
The first week was standard: recovering money and leveling up Saira.
At the start of the second, I used chains to clear several crypts and built GM2; they gave visions there. On 124, I got the flight scroll and the carousel started. By 127, I had 4 Dimension Door, a book of air, and a land cartographer. On 131, I headed toward the opponent, but 4 Dimension Door wasn't enough to catch him in 2 days. And by the time I reached him, he had already joined a ton of meat. On 134, the losers reach the teapot through 2 prisons in the swamp; I refill Adele's mana and attack the opponent. The 38 diamond golems that joined this turn left the opponent with no chance.

Thanks for the game!

Played preemptively for the next round.
The first week was standard: recovering money, leveling up Saira.
At the start of the second, I used chains to eat several crypts and built GM2; they gave visions there. On 124, I got a flight scroll and the carousel started. By 127, I had 4 DD, an air book, and a land cartographer. On 131, I went for the opp, but 4 DD weren't enough to catch him in 2 days. And by the time I reached him, he had already joined a ton of meat. On 134, the spoons reach the teapot through 2 prisons in the swamp; I refill Adele's mana and attack the opp. 38 diamond golems joining this turn left the opp with no chance.

Dealt a fat template with 2 native towns, but my situation was pretty poor in terms of objects and roads. Despite good tempo, I couldn't find anything worthwhile; all Pandoras were on experience since we played on 200%. I had a ram in terms of building order, and I was also building the Mage Guild, so there were apparently no birds. However, the silver lining was that I found all parts of the Cloak of the Undead King and assembled it by week 1, day 3, turn 2. Had to sweat for the КВ amulet that lay next to +3 All; 115 gremlins and minotaurs burned for quite a while). From control in the Mage Guild, I only got Town Portal, while the opponent, who showed up at the start of week 4, was already hopping all over the place. The single Dragon Utopia gave a +12-3 sword, and nearby I picked up the Cloak of Abandonment. By that point, I had rolled over 500+ liches with a couple of necromancers, and the opponent, after Hitan, messed up with the buyback and got caught under the moon with their entire army in the town. I attacked and killed them. Thanks for the game.
