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

Used up all the rests, and in the end, the change was just right. At 111 there's a converter and 100+ bones, then the stable and gloves. There is a native comp, same story there; thieves also upset me, spotted minos on the second and first day among the blues' army, but oh well. Then I killed the snow comp, took +10 necro there and went to reclaim the Necropolis. The road turned out to be long, only reached it at 121. There was a level 3 cons; brought in growth and 350 bones with 5 horses smashed it without any problems. Then treasure zone right there; at 125 there was a necro cloak + snares by the comp, an absolute dream. At 127 with 700+ bones and 5 angels they are killing a level 3 Dragon Utopia, I get the kettle and wings. Then finished off the treasure zone, added some ducks and retreated to my own; took another Dragon Utopia on my respawn and in the snow, there was still no TP. At 134 Shakti breaks through ГО and takes my table. With Claivus a turnaround from the treasure zone, I reclaim the Castle and at 142 I crush the blues. FB with superior stats, a cloak against magic and with 1500 bones and haste - no contest.
Thanks for the game.
Everything was going well for me, but Heroin played excellently. Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!
Today, before the start of the match, I had a strange feeling that I would be rushing. Opponent takes one rest, I look at the draft: at the respawn, a Pandora's Box for 10-19 wood, external dwellings of unicorns and centaurs. The roads aren't great, but there are interesting exits along the off-road; I break through one - there's a dungeon! I level Grindan for a rush.
On 114, red flags appeared. Grinya is already level 8, I flee from the re among the neutral stacks and replenish my mana.
117, I step onto the portal, cutting Tazar off from the main. Opponent hit-runs with Dimer, snipes 10 elves, but doesn't attack with Tazar.
121, I attack myself; I have no archers, but the advantage in meat and Oil decide the battle. Tazar flees.
122, I take the swamp village, there's a Mage Guild; Grinya now has archers with 92 health.
123, Tazar attacks again and gets wrecked by the archers. After that, I crush the pesky units and wait for a wood delivery, since there's already a Castle in the swamp and I want to play more safely.
On 125, the opponent types GG.

Today, before the match started, I had a strange feeling that I would be rushing. Opp takes one rest, I check the starting area: at the respawn there's a Pandora's box for 10-19 units of wood, external dwellings of unicorns and centaurs. Roads aren't great, but there are interesting paths through wasteland; I break through one - there's a dungeon! I level Grindan for a rush.
On 114, red flags started appearing. Grinya is already level 8, I retreat from a roaming enemy to refill mana.
117, I step onto a portal, cutting Tazar off from the mainland. Opp hit-and-runs with Dimer, cuts down 10 elves, but doesn't attack with Tazar.
121, I attack myself; no ranged units, but the advantage in meat and oil decides. Tazar flees.
122, I take a swamp village, there's a Mage Guild; Grinya now has ranged attack with 92 HP.
123, Tazar attacks again and gets wrecked by the ranged units; then I clean up the weaklings and wait for wood delivery, since Castle is already in the swamp and I want to play it safer.
On 125, the opponent writes GG.
Thanks for the game. The mage sealed the deal. For my part, I was hoping for a longer game, since I had the following goodies in reserve:

Confirm. I tried a strategy with a dwelling and a manticore near the castle. As it turned out, it was a mistake. Dungeon. The road on one side leads to a one-way path, and on the other – to the orange tower. Other paths are through rough terrain. The blocks are huge (50+ vampires, etc.). There isn't as much money as it seemed at first. The pace is slow. You can see 2 utopias and about 4 hives, but they are scattered. On the first manticore in the citadel + a dwelling. On the second, I first lost 2 cats at the crossroads along with Marius and a ballista, then another 5 on orcs, even the "tactics" of Tunar, level 5, freed from prison, didn't help. This isn't like fighting minotaurs. Thanks for playing.

Roger-ua vs FAVorite-?-, let's wait until the draw.

What draw are you talking about? Isn't the 7th round the last one? There's no 10th template.

There will be 9 rounds, and Kostya will do the draw a little later. We will be playing on the diamond, mini-nostalgia, and CM maps.

and who called me here?)))

Regarding the game: I was aiming to take the contested Dragon Fly Hive on 121 before my opponent, but the guard gave me pause - a Scorpicore stack, and Dark already had angel(s) running around since week 1. I had to turn back and farm my own. On 124 I caught Gurney while he was replenishing mana, and took all the gold from the scout hero. Niloy attacked me with no mana, 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 at level 10 along the way )
Thanks for the game!

Well, Dirty was aware of the situation in our match, but I don't mind a 0-0 draw either; it won't change much at this point.

Actually, Dirty was aware of the situation in our team, but I wouldn't mind a 0:0 score, as it won't change much at this point.
Dirty didn't say anything to me, and I guess I'm the tournament organizer. Okay, I'll keep that in mind...
