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

He surrendered Kirr + Mullich, made them run around collecting experience, and in the end, at level 3, Mullich was able to defeat Diplo and join my faction. Also, during the respawn, he was out of range of the Consul (level 2) and there were 2 hidden Gremlins.

On day 121, Mullich destroys the Consul, immediately recruits 60 Gremlins, and continues onward.
The secondary swamp location wasn't worth it, so he went to the underground – there, he only lost movement points and captured another Consul (level 2).

He cleverly defeated Saira (who was also quite strong) during the siege of a neutral castle (in the swamp area), and on day 126, Mullich attacked, captured a chest with 20 crosses, a +6 sword, and a level 3 Consul, and headed to the Treasury through another tunnel, picking up 106 mummies along the way.
From there, he went to another Treasury, where he captured a neutral Tower, built an observation post, and saw Hell and an Utopian.

He also saw a magic immunity cloak and an Utopian in the underground.

On day 131, he captured the cloak, the Utopian (level 3), shackles, a +5 all-stats sword, and 2 useless artifacts, and retreated to replenish mana.

On day 132, he saw Hell rushing towards the Utopian, retreated to a Castle (stable), then to a Tower – without rushing, he continued forward. He also scouted a Consul nearby in the underground Inferno zone.

On day 133, Hell captured the Utopian (level 2), and my prayers were answered – there was no control there, and to be more precise, there was nothing there.

On his turn, he captured the Consul (level 4) with his shooters: 11 angels, and along the way, he recruited 22 Wizards, as well as 350+ blue creatures and 100 mummies. There were only skeletons and angels – he attacked with shackles and the cloak. The final battle was a formality, and after one round, only a few skeletons remained.

Thank you for the game!
Confirmed, he surrendered without much of a fight.

The game didn't happen, opp forfeited. Thanks for the time. Don't lose heart and keep fighting in the future;)
150 Troglodytes, Griffin Conservatory up to 250 - I kill the hero - SoToChka
+2 angels - 80 Troglodytes, there was morale from the full Griffin Conservatory stack
I see an external dwelling of Firebirds - guards up to 50 gr Vampires - well, I'm thinking 30-32, but in fact 47, maybe a miner could have pulled it off, but the scout only managed 30 of them
which proves once again - measure twice, cut once
thanks for participating

Opponent used all his restarts(111+112).I gave him 4th restart also due to heavy block he had and after that I took my only restart.In next map generation I had lizard dwell right by town but opponent suicided himself.Thx for game and good luck in future games.

Opponent opened the map editor and decided not to continue.
I have boots, gloves, a fort on a hill where I was leveling up troops, which I was constantly recruiting.
Three artifacts from the Cursed Armor.
And my troops captured the opponent's capital three times, constantly forcing him to return.
Thanks for the game!

The opponent opened a cartographer and decided not to continue.
I have boots, gloves, a fort on a hill where I was leveling up troops, which I was constantly recruiting in large numbers.
Three artillery units from the cursed armor.
And my troops captured the opponent's capital three times, constantly forcing him to return.
Thanks for the game!

I slowly built up my bear army, then added two level 1 creatures, followed by a level 3 creature, then a wind elemental, and finally encountered my opponent. Mephala retreated and conceded! Thanks for the game!
