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

All the trumps were with the opponent (Dungeon cartographer, full control, utopia parameters almost 2 times larger), I only watched as he took an indecent number of Dragon Fly Hives and utopias (cartographer). By some miracle, I managed to win by trapping the main hero at the Castle with an indecent number of joined Angels, Dragons, and Wyverns. Thanks for the game!

My opponent had all the trump cards (Dungeon Cartographer, full control, Utopia parameters almost double the usual), I just watched him take an obscene number of Dragon Fly Hives and Utopias (Cartographer), but somehow I managed to win by covering the main hero at the Castle with an obscene number of recruited Angels, Dragons, and Wyverns. Thanks for the game!
He didn't pull off diplomacy unlike the opponent, the result is predictable.
Thanks for the game

I managed to get a second hero to level 40+, and I defeated a lot of drowned ones; I had Wings and Quicksilver equipped. In a couple of turns, I would have found the coveted Crown of Knowledge, but the opponent decided not to continue the game. Thanks for the game.

I managed to get a 40+ Warlock on the second week, and I defeated a lot of Mermaids. I had Wings and Quickness as control skills. In a couple of turns, I would have found the coveted Crown of Knowledge, but the opponent decided not to continue.
Thank you for the game.

A week ago, we started a game with Cobra, and for the past week, he hasn't responded to my messages in-game, even though I've sent several. So, I'm writing here: Cobra, when can I expect us to continue our game?:confused:

I started playing with Darkello more than a week ago, and he's either drunk or finishing a game with someone else, so he hasn't answered any of my questions about continuing. Darkello, when can I expect us to continue our game?;)

So, here's how it went: we started a week ago on the first day of the tournament. We played for a week, and Darkello went to sleep :) Two days later, he messaged me at 8:35 AM about the game, when I was still in my second sleep, and another day later, he messaged me at 9-10 AM with a similar message. At all other times, he was playing with someone else, as he regularly streamed in the evenings. I'm explaining that it's pointless to message me on weekends, as I've repeatedly mentioned on the forum that I'm at my country house on weekends.
I'll be back tomorrow, and we'll play in a few days.

Everything above is a lie!! but this is probably the key phrase, besides
I wrote in the morning not to play, but to ask when you can, in addition to that! in response I heard shhh. silence... I was suggesting it exactly for a week, considering that there are only 2 weeks for the tournament and I don't want to flip a coin)))))) I ask the organizers to immediately set a date for the mandatory game, if this does not happen, please take into account that I could play for 1.2 weeks, and I will not be able to play for the remaining 0.8 weeks

I started playing with Darkello more than a week ago, and he either continues or is drunk or playing with someone else :D, Darkelich, when can I expect our game to continue?;)
where we are playing the 5th round of the Winners of War of the Magi, there are only 2 rounds left, so I don't think you need to worry about the timing:D

I suggest taking the yellow card away from me and giving it to Darkello for consistently posting nonsense and starting arguments on the forum. :D
In my opinion, unlike some, I am a participant in this tournament and I don't post nonsense by expressing my desire to play in the tournament. However, I ask that Mr. Juristis be given another yellow card so that he doesn't spam. :cool:

There will be enough yellow cards to heal everyone :D
If needed, an ODD (Online Dispute Resolution) session for your pair will be scheduled tomorrow, after speaking with both participants.

The opponent chose resists, then I selected the layout. Three stacks entered; under the castle there was an external dwelling of cats. I started to develop, captured several castles fairly quickly; on the first week I took one Dragon Fly Hive and built Manticores in a fort with a portal at home. On the second week I took a Griffin Conservatory-two and moved to the adjacent zone, where several chests were lying (all three were for 15k experience behind a pack of giants, a horde of dendroids, and diamond golems), and there was also a КЗ behind gold dragons, of which there were indecently few. Shakti leveled up nicely, took a couple more hives, killed angels, and finally captured the КЗ; the Troglodytes ran out on the dragons. Then I also took a Griffin Conservatory near the respawn (3), went to beat a helmet of knowledge out of unicorns. On day 131 I doubled my mana (280), and ran towards the opponent, who was visible in my reachable zone. I couldn't reach him, but on his turn Galtran attacks; stats were equal; there was a pack of ducks, 300 skeletons, two angels, and cavalry against my two griffins, 20+ ducks, and a pack of cats, but Shakti has offensive magic in the form of a weak blast and a lot of mana.

My opponent picked the retreats, then I selected the map layout. 3 stacks came in, there was an external dwelling of cats under the castle. I started to ramp up, fairly quickly took several castles, on the first [week] I took one Dragon Fly Hive and built Manticore homes in the fort with portal. On the second [week] I took the two-Griffin Conservatory and went to the neighboring zone, where there were several boxes (all three - at 15k experience behind a pack of giants, a horde of dendroid guards, and diamond golems), and there was also a КЗ behind gold dragons, which turned out to be indecently few. Shakti leveled up nicely, took another couple of hives, sacrificed the angels and finally took the КЗ, the Troglodytes ran out on the dragons. Then I ate another Griffin Conservatory near the respawn (3), went to wrest the Helm of Knowledge from the unicorns. On 131 I doubled my mana (280), and ran to the opponent, who was visible in reachable zone. I didn't reach anything, but on his turn Galtran attacks himself, the stats are equal, there's a pack of ducks, 300 skeletons, two angels, horses against my 2 birds, 20+ ducks and packs of cats, but Shakti has attack magic in the form of a weak implosion and a lot of mana.
I never picked up a single useful artifact, and magic or anti-magic was badly needed, there were no options against the imp. Thanks for the game.

Where are we playing the 5th round of the Warlords of War tournament? There are still 2 rounds going on, so I don't think you need to worry about the timing:D

You are a strange person. Quote from ICQ:
Dark (08:58:13 10/07/2014)
Are you ready?

And how am I supposed to understand this?
And a day later, another message:

Dark (08:29:50 11/07/2014)
When are we going to finish the game?

Honestly, I thought you were joking. I could just as easily write to you at 5 am when you are definitely not online, and say "let's play."

As for the main topic, I'm ready (as I was last week...). Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that. I can't play on Saturday or Sunday, family. Choose and let me know the time in advance, please (at least 2-3 hours before the game...). If you can't choose a time, write to Married Romantic. :D
