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

We picked all the resources, ended up with a block of cyclopes. 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 overgrowth. In short, a nightmare. No money, no building. Nothing — I spent the whole second week fumbling around my own treasure zone, collecting money, and then on top of that an enemy appeared from a teleport on angels right behind the cyclopes but didn't come at me. I started to feel 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 wyverns. I took a Pandora's box giving all earth magic with basic wisdom — I cursed myself for a long time, nearly broke my keyboard... thankfully there was another one nearby, which I prudently took after already having advanced wisdom) Also, the Necropolis gave me an Imp, covering me once again) I calmed down a bit, feeling that the map was going my way. I took 2 Dragon Utopias, soon got a 5th-level hat, and started slowly expanding my territory. 15 archers, 2 flax with birds, built the Necropolis. I was expecting a speedrunner with the shackles, 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!

Long roads, but no control and nowhere to even build. Only in the fourth Dragon Utopia did I get КВ, and in my excitement I made a mistake and exposed half my army on the boat. Well, in frustration I decided to crash myself with the shackles equipped...
Thanks for the game!

I'm trying to recall, and I realize that the deadline used to be until Monday, meaning the draw was ready by Monday. Now, it's not even ready by Tuesday, even though it's morning:smile45:

I agree, give me an opponent. I can play today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow; then I'll be leaving and probably won't be able to play until the end of the round.

Started without resurrections. On the first week, Efreeti in the Castle, Gog, Hounds, Demons bought from dwellings. Took two villages, placed Demons in one.

On the second week, Tazar arrived. Higher stats, twenty Wyverns. Nothing to counter with. Went into the field. While Tazar was taking my villages along the path, Gosha got into the native treasure zone, where he took a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns, a Devil from a dwelling, shield+6, and from a Pandora's Box all the earth magic except 5th level, with expedition earth. Tazar appeared in range, after doubling in the Dungeon village to 200 mana, in the FB no chance.

Thanks for the game!

PS
When I voted for the Anarchy template, I hoped to joine something like 50+ gr. Cyclopes, 20+ Hydras, a hundred ground units, raise Liches, at worst shake Pandora's Boxes with a scout hero on wings, etc. As a result, I got: in one game - one ground Cartographer, which showed three watchtowers on different respawns, some Dragon Fly Hives, even fewer Griffin Conservatories, some artifacts, and the opponent on the third week destroys the only General's. The other game is even cooler: respawns with a fistful, only small fry on them, the opponent shook out 20 Wyverns from Dragon Fly Hives and on the second week took the capital, through a hundred ground units, while Gosha was honestly raising Skeletons by the dozen.

I don't understand who needed such anarchy that the template was so nerfed? I looked at the template recommendations, and there not only is it like SMKA, but also 10 gr. Vampires for max Griffin Conservatory, dying on the Cerberus! Who can be joine and where to raise Liches is unclear.

Anyway, 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 opponent won by attrition (ate the entire timer). Lost interest in the game on the second week, just wanted to finish quickly regardless of the result.
