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

By turn 124, I had gathered 500+ skeletons, captured a level 3 Griffin Conservatory and some smaller holdings, my level 12 Tarmika was out of mana. The opponent attacked with Mass Haste, surrendered on the second round, and didn't manage to close the grand finals. Thanks for the game.

By turn 124, I had 500+ skeletons, a 3-level stronghold, and some minor units. My Tamika was level 12 but had no mana. The opponent attacked with a mass haste spell and surrendered on the 2nd round; I didn't have time to close the grand portal. Thanks for the game.
Thanks for the game.
I made a mistake; I didn't close the grand portal.

We started without resets. On the first week, Efreeti in the Castle, Gog, Hounds, and Demons redeemed from dwellings. I took two villages, placed Demons in one.

On the second week, Tazar arrived. Higher stats, twenty Wyverns. Nothing to counter with. I went into the field. While Tazar was seizing my villages along the path, Gosh entered his native treasure zone, where he picked up a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns, a Devil from a dwelling, a Shield+6, and from Pandora's Box, all the earth spells except 5th level, plus experience for earth magic. Tazar appeared within striking range, and after doubling the mana to 200 in a Dungeon village, in a Fortress fight there was no chance.

Thanks for the game!

P.S.
When I voted for the Anarchy template, I hoped to jam things like 50+ greater Cyclopes, 20+ Hydras, a hundred Rocs, raise Liches, at the very least shake down Pandora's Boxes with a scout hero on Griffin Wings, etc. As a result, I got: in one game — a single surface Cartographer, which showed three Utops on different respawns, some Dragon Fly Hives, even fewer Griffin Conservatories, some artifacts, and on the third week the opponent destroys the only GO. The other game was even crazier: respawns with 5th level, only minor troops on them, the opponent shook down 20 Wyverns from Dragon Fly Hives and took the capital on the second week, through a hundred Earth Elementals, while Gosh honestly raised a dozen Skeletons each time.

I don’t understand who needed such anarchy that the template was so heavily cut? I looked at the template recommendations, and there, not only is it something like SMKA, but also 10 greater Vampires for max Griffin Conservatory, dying on the first week! It’s unclear who can be jammed and where to raise Liches.

Anyway, these two games didn’t bring any positive emotions, it was just a waste of time. In the future, I’ll try to avoid playing on this Anarchy template. Sorry

Decided to play a Necromancer with the standard Necropolis and a cloak against a double Rampart. As a result, the AI didn't even build an amplifier by the middle of the second week, but I found an angel stash in a treasure and placed them in the castle. They ran around, and the opponent couldn't find a counter and decided to surrender... If Kirr had a damage dealer, he probably wouldn't have won the game... Special thanks for allowing a second damage dealer with advanced air units!

Thanks for the game!
