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 changed it in the program to these pairs. But in general, the loser reports are to blame for everything; they only create confusion.

I agree. It's time to stop with the trend of posting reports from the losing side.

I like it; it provides extra motivation. Perhaps we could change the format of the program so that, regardless of who submits the report, the format remains the same – ensuring everyone is happy and satisfied.

I actually like it; it's extra motivation.
I don't quite get what the extra motivation is. If it's not a report, then it's just confirmation, and you still have to write something.

I don't quite understand what the additional motivation is? If it's not a report, then it's just confirmation, and you still have to write it.
It's always more pleasant to confirm a win than to confirm a loss ;)

Excuse me, but who did you inform about this? Me, Kostya, Pita? Zvey wrote that you weren't responding, and I personally sent you a couple of messages – no response, no hello.
In the first post, there's this entry: "I repeat for everyone – if you have a problem with your opponent (can't find a common time, ignoring, etc.), write to me in ICQ – we'll sort it out," so what result, in your opinion, should have been achieved?
Besides, both Kostya and I wrote on the forum a list of problematic pairs, but again, you remained silent, although you were online yesterday and even played a match; we were, by the way, surprised by your ignoring the tournament.
The day before yesterday, I wrote to you in ICQ about the fact that you weren't responding. With ICQ logs. I didn't receive a response. But in the bracket for the next round, my potential opponent is listed with points earned, and I'm not even there. This is probably some kind of sanction. Well, if that's the case, then I don't see the point in continuing to participate further.

The day before yesterday, I wrote to you on ICQ about the fact that you weren't responding. I included ICQ logs. I didn't receive a response.

Well, if that's the case, I don't see the point in continuing to participate.
You wrote to me on ICQ? :confused: I didn't receive anything. That's why you were given a technical loss and excluded from the tournament, and not just you, but everyone who received a technical loss, because it got out of hand. If the organizer is silent on ICQ (and I'm on ICQ every day, as well as on the forum), it's logical to write to the judges or in the tournament thread; at least, that's what I would have done. You can consider this a sanction, although I still don't understand what that phrase is supposed to mean. Next time, to avoid misunderstandings, I advise you to be more active; you can even take Darkello as an example, but without going overboard ;)

Did you message me on ICQ? :confused: I didn't receive anything. That's why you were given a technical loss and disqualified from the tournament, and not just you, but everyone who received technical losses, because it got annoying. If the organizer is silent on ICQ (and I'm on ICQ every day, as well as on the forum), it's logical to write to the judges or in the tournament thread, at least that's what I would do. You can consider this as sanctions, although I still don't understand what that phrase was for. Next time, to avoid misunderstandings, I advise you to be more active; you can even take Darkello as an example, but without being too extreme ;)
Sometimes ICQ lags. I think it's extreme to disqualify people whose messages didn't go through because of it. Couldn't they return the person to the tournament if they want to continue participating?

So, the unplayed matches:

zwei vs Javdet

Please provide information about the games.
Kosti's message from the 19th
злой_романтик
So, today is the last day of the round, and there's a lot that's unclear...

zwei vs Javdet
I don't have any information about these matches at all... well, that means it will be 0-0 tomorrow.
My message from the 21st. Zwei communicated with Kosti; there was no other information.

Generally, after HW moved to a new server, I encountered a problem with logging in on my home computer. I can fully log in either from work or at home using a different Windows installation. But I try not to use that Windows installation because it's very problematic, and I haven't had the time to troubleshoot or reinstall it. So, right now, to upload the logs, I need to boot up the other Windows installation and then switch back to this one. Why bother, if you've already made the only correct Solomon-like decision? Disqualifying someone because their opponent doesn't respond is nonsense; I've never encountered anything like that before. P.S. Tomorrow, I'll send you screenshots from my ICQ;), just in case you think I'm lying.
