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

The draw is ready!
Could you please check why I have 2 points in the table? I only won one match in the tournament, in the second round.

I chose my restart point near the opponent, and we started with 111 resources. From the beginning, I had 11+7 Elves. On the first turn, I built structures 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the Castle, recruited 2 Tier 2 units in the Treasury, freed Tamika, a level 10 hero, for 20+ Minotaurs, and captured an Angel Shrine for 20+ Gorgons. On turn 121, I had no money, so I attacked with 2 Angels and a force of 1 week, 50+ Demons – they defeated my Knight. In Pandora, I gained 15,000 experience. On turn 123, I acquired 2 Hives and 12 Wyverns. I positioned 2 Angels for a potential attack and planned to capture a nearby Castle, build a Portal, and capture another Angel Shrine for 5-9 Spectres. As I approached the Castle, I realized it wasn't controlled by the AI, but by another player. It turned out the situation wasn't as bad as I thought, and the Elves weren't needed. :D
Thank you for the game!

I chose my restart against an opponent who still had 111. The game began. From the start, I had 11+7 elves. On the first turn, I built 13456 in the castle, took 2 secondary heroes in treasures, freed Tamika, level 10, for 20+ minotaurs, and took an Angel stronghold for 20+ gorgons. On turn 121, I had no money, so I attacked with 2 angels and an army of 1 week, 50+ demons – they took out my horse, and I gained 15K experience in Pandora. On turn 123, I took 2 hives, and on turn 12, I had 10 wyverns. I was standing with 2 angels, preparing to take the Companion's castle, build a portal, and take another Angel stronghold for 5-9 specters. I approached the castle and saw that the Companion had bears and minotaurs. I thought 2 angels wouldn't be enough, but I didn't want to lose my elves, so I took the angels, wyverns, and others, but not the elves. I attacked, and it turned out it wasn't the Companion, but another player::(. It turned out that things were bad there, and the elves weren't needed:D.
Thanks for the game!

Have you played in it? Maybe the deadlines are strict here?! :cool:
The deadline was until June 23, 2014. I played with Roger Daltavilla. We started playing on the last day, and at 11 PM he said he was going to sleep and said goodbye...
Today I see on the forum that he was given the win, and I was kicked out!))) What do you think of this situation?

If you haven't been in touch for a long time, then it's normal. :)
If it's something else, it's best to sort it out in a private message with the judges.

Please check where my 2 points in the table came from. I only won one game in the tournament, in the second round.
In round 4, your opponent withdrew.

You guys are really something. You didn't provide any information about your game, you started playing on the last day, you didn't finish, and you didn't say anything again. What is the organizer supposed to do? Probably go around to each participant and ask if they would like to play?

Specifically regarding your game, I only had this information:
Roger DAltavilla (June 22, 2014 16:06)
Offline, game with liverpool: we agreed to play twice, but he never showed up.

Considering that this was the second to last day, and there was no other information, I couldn't assign any other result.

And I removed everyone from the tournament when they disappeared and didn't provide any information.

Regarding the match with liverpool. We agreed to play on the 17th at exactly 10:00 PM Moscow time and on the 20th "in the evening," but the opponent didn't show up either time. I waited for him on Saturday the 21st, but he wasn't there, and on Sunday the 22nd, he showed up at 11 PM, ready to play. But I can't afford to play late into the night, from Sunday to Monday. We agreed on the 23rd in the evening. Both of us showed up, and we started playing, but the opponent's internet connection dropped for an hour. At that point, I couldn't take it anymore, and when there was another disconnection, probably on my side, I went to sleep.

Bubuch saw your message; I can only play after Friday. If you need to reach me, write on the forum, as messages don't always get through on ICQ.

I had the same issue with him twice, it's a strange situation, and it needs to be addressed somehow.

We took all the restarts, and rightly so, and it gave us the best possible setup with 3 stacks of horses and 4 dragons. At the start of the second week, I moved to the center, having first picked up +4+4 armor and a +12 shield, then a +3 all necklace, 2 more utopias for stats. I didn't go to the opponent, built dragons and horses in the second Castle. Then I upgraded the dragons, ran around a bit, cleared the Inferno respawn and got full control, then jumped around a little more... gathered 50 attack and attacked. 28 golds, 50 uniques and the rest under the elixir. 40 Tazar's Vivi didn't even kill a single gold...
Thanks for the game!

We chose all restarts, and fairly so, and it gave the best possible layout with 3 external dwellings of horses and 4 dragons. At the start of week 2, I went to the center, having previously taken +4+4 armor and +12 shield, then a necklace +3 all stats, 2 Dragon Utopias for stats as well. I didn't go to the opponent, built dragons and, in the second Castle, horses. Then I upgraded the dragons, ran around a bit, cleared the Inferno respawn and got full control, then jumped around a little... gathered 50 attack and attacked. 28 gold dragons, 50 unicorns and other things under the elixir. 40 Tazar's Wyverns couldn't kill even one gold dragon...
Thanks for the game!

The objects spawned well, but the respawn is huge and everything is scattered very far across the swamps. In the end, on week 1, I only got one secondary hero, flagged one external dwelling of hydras and Wyverns. I went out on week 2 day 3 (earlier I lost a turn with Tazar) with oil, but mixed up the path and ran into a guard object on another respawn.
Kyrre revealed harsh stats, so I went home to eat two conveniently located Dragon Utopias, which gave a red orb, a chalice, and a sword of justice. I returned to the center; there was no sign of the opponent there. I went to another Dragon Utopia in the sands in search of control; they gave wings and a hat of the magi.

Equality in stats somehow vanished again, I ran to make contact, but Kyrre was running across three respawns and eating goodies. I returned home, then broke through to the grass respawn (where I found only one mini Dragon Fly Hive and a Dragon Utopia with KV), where I didn't have enough movement to take a secondary hero. Kyrre arrived and killed all the little horses.

Then came a bit of catch-up, after which the timer ran out and Taza was left without a stack. It was hard to play without Town Portal, which was nowhere to be found (empty guild, no wisdom for boxes, and KZ only at the opponent's).

Thanks for the game.

My opponent eliminated the 8th town, and I decided to rely on luck and kept Anarchy. After a random selection from three factions (Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold), I chose the last one, hoping for Gurnisson's offensive power and free artifacts from skeletons/carts. In the first week, things were financially tough; I was thinking of placing bears but didn't know how. But then, a noob discovered a passage to the central treasure, passed the guards easily, and then, to my delight, Rizza found the Pandora artifact and managed to steal it from the devils, enriching us with 15,000. Overjoyed, I immediately placed a mine, ran, and lost it along with Gurnisson. I was left without money. In the second week, I lost Gurnisson again, five times, I don't know how I managed it; I always wanted to attack with a minimum number of troops, but each time my commander shamefully fled the battlefield. To my consolation, my only joy, Adela, was leveling up. By the end of the week, she joined with 13 vipers and 90 copies. In the third week, I took the Utopia maximum with the loss of 2 angels and 7 vipers and a devourer. But then this happened - a disconnect. I already sensed that things would get worse. I repeated the moves, but I couldn't conduct the battles the same way. As a result, there were slightly fewer copies in the Utopia, luck didn't favor the vipers in the first round (the number of troops was different), and I did THIS - I lost all 5 angels (instead of 2 before), but I saved 2 more ducks. However, we had full control with the Utopia at maximum. Then, Adela in the dungeon gained mana, joined with 200 pegasi and wasps, and crushed my opponent in the center. Thanks for the game.
