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

Gave out a fat template with 2 native towns, but I was quite poor in terms of objects and roads; despite a good pace, I couldn't find anything worthwhile. All Pandora's boxes were for experience, since we played at 200%. There was a ram with construction, and I was also building a Mage Guild, so there were no birds to be seen. 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, 2. I had to sweat for the КВ amulet that lay next to +3 All Stats. 115 Minotaurs burned for quite a while). From the control in the Mage Guild, only Town Portal was given, and the opponent, who showed up at the beginning of the fourth week, was already jumping around all over. A single Dragon Utopia gave a +12-3 Sword, and nearby I took the Cloak of Retribution. By that point, I had rolled 500+ Liches with a couple of necromancers, and after the opponent's Hive turn, he messed up with the ransom and set himself up for a Moon with his entire army in the town; I attacked and killed him. Thanks for the game.
I confirm, 6 minutes was terribly short, and my head wasn't thinking clearly at 8 in the morning. Just consider my confidence that all my heroes could cast Dimension Door, but I only had the Book of Earth, and all the level 5 spells from the Pandora's Box were on Shakti.
Thanks for the game.

We agreed with the opponent on the 22nd, and he said to contact technical support if he doesn't show up. He didn't show up.

On the first map, I had a glitch – I decided to take a stronghold with ifrits and nagas (I must have confused it with Inferno), built it, then realized my mistake and switched to golems and gremlins. This cost me a week on the respawn timer – without ifrits, I didn't dare try to break through 5 consecutive stacks of ranged units. On the second map, I wasted 3 days on 2 magic resource boxes without Wisdom, the second one was clearly level 4, but an opponent showed up, and I had to take it. After that, I ran away from a strong army; luckily, the opponent didn't build everything to the maximum with ogres, chimeras, and 2 native villages at his stronghold. I managed to build up my troops with control, but I didn't dare look for the opponent myself without combat magic, and it turned out I was right not to – when we agreed to meet, I almost got hit by an Implosion for 3k+ and 3k+ skeletons with 11 speed. But with Mephala with a shield, it turned out to be a bit difficult.

On the first map, I had a glitch – I decided to take an Ifrit stronghold with Nagas (probably confused it with Inferno), built it, then changed my mind and went for Golems and Gremlins. This cost me a week on the respawn – I didn't dare try to break through 5 consecutive ranged stacks without Ifrits. On the second map, I wasted about 3 days on 2 magic resource nodes without Wisdom, the second one was clearly level 4, but an opponent showed up, and I had to take it that way. Then I ran away from a strong army; luckily, the opponent, with his Ogre, Cyclops, and 2 native towns, didn't build everything to the maximum. I managed to build up my troops with control, but I didn't dare look for the opponent myself without combat magic, and it turned out I was right not to – when we agreed to meet, I almost got hit by an Implosion spell for 3k+ and 3k+ skeletons with speed 11. But with Mephala with a shield, it turned out to be a bit difficult.
I confirm.
The opponent took 112 and we started, 2 towns built, a hidden base of Goblins, Ogres, and 1 Centaur, and he has Sandro. On 113, he took a Centaur. On 116, 100 skeletons. On 117, he attacked 5-9 Unicorns, losing 70 skeletons. Earth didn't come immediately; at the time of a possible meeting, Earth wasn't fully upgraded, so I didn't rush to do a Fast Build. On the third map, I was catching up to Mephala, but I decided that the opponent had a good strategy and refused, which was a mistake. Then a long game without control, only with Teleport. Deep into the second month, another Necropolis player appeared, then a third. A strange, empty map with native treasures. In general, I was already tired, and the deadlines were approaching, so we did a Fast Build. Mephala turned out to be stronger; 3000 skeletons fell surprisingly easily.
Thanks for the game!

Not a bad respawn point, a few constraints, reached level 122, and had a good fight in the Grand Order (Cyclops and Lich without a specific tactic), but overall it was pretty good. The opponent couldn't continue because they ended up in the hospital. Thanks for the game and best of health!

Started without rests. Ryland was in the tavern from the start. On the first week, horses were in the fort; there wasn't really anywhere else to spend the money anyway.
On the second week, I started joining various small units; the most reasonable things I found were 100 harpies and 40 elves. A max Dragon Utopia was found, but I had nothing to take it with.
The cartographer repelled 131. The opponent took the Dragon Utopia, then went on the attack through the main guards. Meanwhile, Claudius repelled the fourth secondary site, not far from where the shackles lay. I take the shackles, build Mage Guild 4 houses, and they give resurrect. Ryland doubles his mana and settles in the Castle. Stats are equal; he has 5+ Black Dragons, while I have no good stacks, only snipers and elves. Well, there are also horses and one-hit wonders. And 160 mana with resurrect. After standing for a couple of days in the chapel, Vokial finally attacks with two dragons, casts Armageddon and cannot escape, but he only had enough mana for one Armageddon.

Thanks for the game.
Finally got to play anarchy. Thanks for the game.
