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

I understand that the draw was done in a hurry, but the result of my game with Tofslay was clearly not taken into account correctly...

My mistake! I've redone it.

If anyone notices any other inaccuracies, please let me know.

Could you ask the moderators to provide a link to the report that needs to be confirmed?
Ideally, in a private message.

It would be very convenient if unconfirmed reports for a player were highlighted in the header of each page of the corresponding tournament, or if a link to the report was sent in a private message.

Unfortunately, we don't have programmers like that :(

You skipped the last round because there was an odd number of players, and you got a free win. Did you withdraw? I must have missed that.

There is a list of all reports on the first page. It looks like this:



If a report is not confirmed, it is marked in red. You can confirm it directly from there. If you click on the player's nickname, you can go to the report/confirmation for that player. It's very convenient.

That's a good suggestion! I think it would be very convenient. But I don't know if it will be possible to implement it. We'll see.

I disagree with Zwei's tech in the game. I couldn't get in touch with him. To be more precise, he wrote to me at first, but then stopped responding to my messages. He even tried to write something once, but it seems it didn't work out.

We restarted for a long time, I took 112 and there was apparently 112 + a restart on 112 by block, special thanks for that! It gave good roads and lots of resources and gold, though everything was under blocks and far away. I went along the nearest road, guessed the direction wrong and ended up in a corner treant, but there I found a lot of gold and a market. I decided not to run to the swamp computer, but to break the crypts and neutrals here for chests, and + there was just a stable and two Dragon Fly Hives for 10 ducks. On the first 123457 in Castle. At the start of the second week, I slowly bought everything up and took a castle and Dragon Fly Hives in the corner, only on 125 did I head to the computer. But on 126 Deemer pops out with a bunch of ducks and decides to hit Crag Hack. Deemer: 25 ducks, 5 nagas, giant, 40 and singles of caps, 6 spells, 12 mana, no attack or defense - Crag Hack: 3 bears, 8 birds, 40 wolves, 10 ducks and singles of goblins, 15 6 3 60, expert earth, attack, defense. In short, a thousand mistakes in this battle on my part, but still 2 bears pulled it off. On 127 I take the computer. 131 I break Conservatory 3 and on 133 with 3 angels, 4 bears, 6 ducks and 20 ogres with growth from secondary skills I take a Dragon Utopia level 3, it gives 6+ 3+ all and I get the long-awaited log. I double mana, stable and head to the center to the blues. On 135 the opponent, without taking the computer holed up in the Castle with all the growth, surrenders. GG.
I looked at the saves, it gave really good stuff: 2 native dwellings, Titan's hideout, gold, Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Utopias with control, good tempo, there were decent prospects, but a rash attack and Crag Hack left no chances there afterwards, it seems to me!
Thanks for the game!
Thanks for the game.

Excuse me, but who did you inform about this? Me, Kostya, Pita? Zwei wrote that you weren't responding, and I personally sent you a couple of messages too – no response at all.
In the first post, there's a note: "I repeat for everyone – if you have a problem with your opponent (can't find a common time, ignoring, etc.), write to me on ICQ – we will sort it out," so what result, in your opinion, should have been achieved?
Besides, both Kostya and I wrote a list of problematic pairs on the forum, but again, you remained silent, even though you were online yesterday and even played a game. We were actually surprised by your ignoring the tournament.

Good afternoon, there was a mistake in the results. I lost in the previous round against R55Max, but for some reason, I received +1 point. Please swap our positions in the pairings.
