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

PS
When I voted for the Anarchy template, I had hopes of joining something like 50+ cyclops, 20+ hydras, a hundred wyverns, raising liches, or at worst using wings to shake some Pandora's boxes with a scout hero, etc. As a result, I got: in one game—one surface Cartographer, which showed three utopias on different respawns, some Dragon Fly Hives, even fewer Griffin Conservatories, some artifacts, and by week three the opponent takes down the only General. The other game was even worse: respawns with penthouses, with just small fry on them, the opponent shook out 20 Wyverns from Dragon Fly Hives and captured the capital on week two, through a hundred Earth Elementals, while Gosha honestly raised a dozen skeletons each time.

I don't understand who needed this kind of anarchy that they nerfed the template so much? I looked at the template recommendations, and not only is it like SMKA, but also 10 Vampire Lords for the max Griffin Conservatory die on the black tower! Who can you join and where to raise liches is unclear.

Overall, the 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.
The template hasn't changed since Bespredel-2 (around the year 2010, I think).

But judging a template based on just two games... :cool: ... when I test a template, I look at at least 30 generations (usually more), and even then I sometimes draw not entirely correct conclusions. And Anarchy is 13 templates in one.

We restarted for a long time, I took 112, and there was like 112 + a restart on 112 due to blocking, for which many thanks! It gave good roads and plenty of resources and gold, though everything was under blocks and far away. I went down the nearest road, misjudged the direction, and ended up in a corner Treasure, but there I found a lot of gold and a market. I decided not to rush to the swamp computer, but to break some Crypts and neutrals here for chests, and + there happened to be a Stable and two Dragon Fly Hives for 10 Dwarves. On day 1[?] 123457 in Castle. At the start of week 2, I slowly bought up everything and took a Castle and Dragon Fly Hives in the corner, only getting ready to go to the computer on day 125. But on day 126, Deemer pops up with a bunch of Dwarves and decides to attack Crag Hack. Deemer: 25 Dwarves, 5 Nagas, a Giant, 40 and singles of Gremlins, 6 spells, 12 mana, no attack or defense stats - Crag Hack: 3 Bears, 8 Birds, 40 Grand Wolves, 10 Dwarves, and singles of Goblins 15 6 3 60, Expert Earth, Attack, Defense. In short, a thousand mistakes on my part in this battle, but still 2 Bears pulled it off. On day 127, I take the computer. On day 131, I break the Griffin Conservatory 3, and on day 133 with 3 Angels, 4 Bears, 6 Dwarves, and 20 Ogres with growth boost from secondary skills, I take a tier-3 Dragon Utopia; it gives 6+ 3+ all and I get the long-awaited Log. I double Mana, Stable, and head to the center towards the Blue player. On day 135, the opponent, having not taken the computer that was holed up in a Castle with all its growth, surrenders. GG.
I looked at the saves, it gave really well: 2 native towns, a Titan's Horde, Gold, Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Utopias with control, good tempo, there were decent prospects, but the reckless attack and Crag Hack further on left no chances there, I think!
Thanks for the game!

We have a challenging save; we agreed to finish it today, so please wait.
So, which one are you finishing today? This one or the Champions League with Tvarina? Maybe you could do a simultaneous gameplay session? ;)

I don't understand why the last day of the tour (which is usually not the last day) falls on a Monday instead of a Sunday?

I caught Solmir off guard while he was rushing, and I also managed to defeat a unit with a satchel. Thanks for the game!

Let me explain :) The draw for the first round took place on Tuesday, and the tour lasts for 2 weeks, so naturally the next round starts on Tuesday after 2 weeks.

Because everyone starts playing on the weekend and doesn't calculate their strength properly, so they need one more day, and if someone can't play on Monday, that's their problem.

How is that possible? After all, Solmir was an air expert.
:smile07: So, an air expert can't be caught? I guess I didn't know that.

We chose all the rest, ended up with a Cyclops block. Not a single pile of crystals, so by the first week I was left without horses and elves and lost in a Dwarf Cottage on day 15 with overeat. In short, a nightmare. No money, no rebuilding. Nothing — I spent the entire second week poking around in my treasure zone, collecting money, and then an enemy on Angels appeared from a teleporter right behind the Cyclops, but didn’t come at me. I got really worried about the result... On the third week I found the first Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels and two Dragon Fly Hives with 12 Wiverns. I took a Pandora’s Box with all earth magic and Basic Wisdom — cursed myself for a long time, almost broke my keyboard... luckily there was another one nearby, and this time I wisely took Advanced Wisdom beforehand) Plus, in the Necromancy town I got an Imp, covering me once again) I calmed down a bit, feeling that the map was going my way. I took 2 Utops, soon got a 5-stat hat, and began slowly expanding my territory. 15 Archers, 2 Flax with birds, rebuilt the Necromancy town. With Shakles I was hoping to catch a speed enthusiast, and that’s exactly what happened.
PS. To be fair, in an honest fight it would have been hard to win.
Thanks for the game!

I decided to play a Necromancer with the standard Necropolis and a cloak against a double Rampart. As a result, the computer didn't even build an amplifier by the middle of the second week, but I found a stash of Angels in a treasure and placed them in the castle. We ran around, and the opponent couldn't find a counter and decided to give up... 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!
Confirmed, thanks for the game!
