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

You're quite the character. Here's a quote from our chat:
Dark (08:58:13 10/07/2014)
Are you ready?

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

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

Honestly, I thought you were joking. I could just as easily message you at 5 AM when I know you're not online, and suggest we start playing.

But regarding the main topic, I'm ready (just like last week...). Today, tomorrow, the day after, or even the day after that. I'm not available on Saturday or Sunday because of family commitments. Choose a time and let me know in advance, please (at least 2-3 hours before the game...). If you can't decide on a time, ask "Married Romantic." :D
I'm ready in 2 hours, at 6:30 PM.

I spoiled the game for myself—took a Scholar with Navigation, then grabbed Diplomacy right after. A few critical days were wasted while waiting for Navigation to level up. Because of this, I almost paid the price. Built the Dimension Door in the first tower
and immediately took a box for all Air magic without Wisdom (and then a hut with Air magic—ololo), the only relief was Vision.
Later, the only poor sod with Wisdom grabbed another entire level 4 spell in a box, bought him Earth magic in the conf. Then Rylund arrived, I'm leveling him up. Then a couple of joins and into the Dragon Utopia. Got Wings and a Bag—well, that's okay. In the center of the treasure zone, I took a Castle, next to it I burn a map in the underground Cartographer. Room for imagination, but everyone wants gold. I see the Cloak of the Undead King can be assembled easily, but decided not to bother looking for a Necro. Found all parts of the Elixir, joined whoever I could,
and a couple more Dragon Utopias—from the useful stuff, a Cup and the Cape of Abdication. The main opponent arrived, broke through 15 Titans, took the center Castle, and joined the Bears. There was an option to assemble the Elixir, but due to my own fail, I had to buy a Flask for 25k and give up 6 Black Dragons. After that, I attack and a disconnect happens—my power rating is higher and combat stats are also double + Cape of Abdication, the opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.

I see, Darkello is still making friends. And it's all because of the lack of light in his soul! No wonder he has such a nickname. Repent and love your opponents as you love yourself.

There were roads to the sands and the swamp, and also to a dead-end Inferno. I only built Dimension Door in the city; four Dragon Utopia gave only the red and black orbs with the sword of justice. There was maybe 5 percent Anarchic in the game. Even Hillfort wasn't on the map. Thanks for the game.

An interesting situation arose, with an external dwelling of dragons, grand elves, dendroids, and boots on the respawn. I cleared everything pretty quickly. Kyrre was leveling up normally, with expert earth and logistics at 113... Since there wasn't much to do for turbo Kyrre, I was collecting stat boosters. I gathered so many that even almost without artifacts, my stats were 12 20+. 3 libraries and arenas, but no other objects and no decent artifacts on the ground, except for 5all. At the end of the second week, I took a Dragon Utopia with 12 Wyverns, 14 dendroids, and 2 green dragons. They gave some stats. The next Dragon Utopia gave more stats... 6 all and gloves with a black orb... I decided not to wait but to rush to the opponent while their stats weren't great and their army was smaller on the counter. So, blessed Kyrre with 4.5k movement, 27 39 34 (190) per turn, bursts out of the underground via roadless terrain into the opponent's deployment, seizes the main town where 3 bears and 6 birds were not recruited. I take over the majority of unguarded towns with roaches, and find the papa bear. On his turn, Dima messes up a bit and loses the papa bear on a stack splitter; couldn't dig it up. He surrenders :smile21:. As the post-mortem showed, he had full control in several copies, but his stats were worse. Meanwhile, I had the sniper's bow, 50 grand elves, and all the fire from Pandora's Box with the orb of fire. In short, there could have been an interesting chase, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.

And who called me here?)))

About the game: I was aiming to take the disputed Dragon Fly Hives on 121 before the opponent, but the guard made me hesitate - a scorpicore tray, and Dark had already been running around with angel(s) since week 1. Had to turn back and farm my own. On 124 I caught Gurney refilling mana, and all the gold from the scout hero. Nilai attacked with no mana, with 20 vives and meat against 2 angels and 24 vives. I closed 25 archers and managed to pull it off), despite the opponent's magic. There were 5 seconds left, but I managed to get into the castle. Then with 100 mana I stormed the swamp, freeing Luna level 10 along the way )
Thanks for the game!

An interesting situation came up, with an external dwelling of Drakes, Grand Elves, Dendroid Guards, and Boots of Speed at the respawn; I cleared everything pretty quickly. Kyrre was leveling normally, with Expert Earth Magic and Logistics by 113... since there wasn't much to do for a turbo Kyrre, I was collecting stat boosters, gathered enough that stats were 12 20+ almost without artifacts, 3 Libraries and Arena. But there are no other objects or normal artifacts on the surface, except for 5 All. At the end of the second month I took a Dragon Utopia with 12 Wyverns, 14 Wood Elves, and 2 Green Dragons; they gave a bit of stats. The next Dragon Utopia also gave stats... 6 All and Boots with the Black Orb... I decided not to wait but to rush at the opponent while his stats weren't great and his army showed less; and so the blessed Kyrre with 4.5k movement, 27 39 34 (190) per turn, bursts out of the underground across wasteland into the opponent's deployment and takes the main town there where 3 Bears and 6 Birds were not recruited. I capture towns mostly undefended with Cockatrices, and find the main hero. On his turn, Dima makes a slight mistake and loses the main hero in a split; couldn't dig it up, followed by a surrender :smile21:. As post-mortem showed, he had a full control in several copies, but his stats were worse, while I had Bow of the Sniper and 50 Grand Elves and all the fire from Pandora's Box with Orb of Fire. Anyway, there could have been an interesting chase, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.

Yep, that's exactly how it was. There were two Dragon Utopias, Wings, and КВ behind a trove of Bone Dragons, but there was little army. Scraped together 4 Dragon Fly Hives in different parts of the explored map, took everything in the second month; in the second Dragon Utopia I get КЗ, and right then Kyrre charges in with crazy parameters. We saved, but I couldn't gather for the replay and failed Cragg on a small timer. Thanks for the game!

Gentlemen SVAROG, BA/IEHOK, Javdet, PReDS, would you be so kind as to confirm the reports? Otherwise, I really don't want to put the technical support and dsq on hold because of this... ;)

Looks like I was disqualified from the tournament for being too much of a "bad guy," so I have to go back and beg to be allowed to participate again.

Looks like they kicked me out of the tournament because I was being a bad sport, so I had to beg to be let back in.
What did you do to upset them so much, Dirty? :D

As they say, after choosing your rests, it generated a block near the castle, and that's chaos, and there's no way to control the block =(.
Thank you for the game and your time.

Super game with a strong opponent! We played several sessions.
On the 2nd week, I took КЗ behind the Chaos hydras. Army of 20 ducks angel-)
Then I took 2 Dragon Utopia helmet +6 all, pendant +3 all
Stats became nearly 30
Tazar leveled up perfectly, but I messed up and didn't learn wisdom for them, which almost cost me
On the 3rd [week] I took the city of inf comp. Around 137 it seems Gurni appeared with combat stats 21-17. Next turn I attack him.
1 fb I cut down 8 angels with an explosion, 15 ducks, 9 efreets, several unicorns.
He cuts down 20 magmatics, 10 wyverns probably and a buyout.
Further I thought about where to go since there was no convenient way out to the opp.
In the end, I just devoured the map. Ate Dragon Utopia, got another earth book
My second hero was Corbac, the book suited him perfectly)
On the 1st week of the 2nd month I was attacked
2 fb there is a cloak of renunciation, elixir. Stats are same as Tazar's
There are 12 angels, 100+ demons, 15 pits, 26 ducks and something else
I have 7 angels, 63 gr wyverns, 10 efreet sultans and something else ))
The opponent bought out at 90+ demons, leaving me with 1 angel, 6 wyverns and 3 efreets.
I survived until 221, while gathering 20+ ducks, upgraded the castle from the village up to archangels, and put Phoenixes in Flax
On 222 the opp settled in the comp castle. I buy up and attack.
3 fb There are 90+ demons, 5 grey ones, 2 angels, 12 efreets - stats 47-35 combat with elixir
I have 50+ magogs, 27 storms, 2 archs, 27 gr wyverns, 6 phoenixes, 11 efreets, several snakes +1 speed and cr ball. Stats 31-36 combat
Closed the gates, won. гг
Thanks for the game!
PS-What's doubly pleasant is that the opp had DD and wings, probably from the 3rd week. I have TP
