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

What nonsense, I even read somewhere that if a "redrash" occurs when the opponent is on the other side of a portal, it doesn't count (i.e., he's not visible).
Heroin is wrong in this case, as is Romantic; they should study the rules more carefully. The rule of fair play applies here; Heroin may have violated it unknowingly, and that's why he lost (the rule of making up rules:smile28: :smile52:).

I didn't break any rules, ale). You should read more carefully; Romantic was right to tell me that we didn't know this rule! And what am I wrong about? First, understand the meaning of what's happening, and then comment. Because you're the one who's wrong....

2.1.2. The concept of a “red rush” is not applicable when the heroes of competing players are on opposite sides of a Portal or Underground Gate during an attack, if the red player cannot see where the blue player’s hero is located.

The template is to blame for everything; it’s the source of all problems – that’s obvious.

so, how can we even talk about a victory now? The surrender started after your words about the red rush. If you hadn't said anything and he had left, it would have been a different story, but as it is, you gave him a reason, essentially forcing him to leave. That's all there is to it.
P.S. I agree about the template; it's time to restrict its availability to only the "Novice" tournament.

I'm saying it again, I understand, please read my post about the whole story....

I reread your post twice, and you express your thoughts very sadly; it feels like you're trying to "flex" on us :smile04:. I think it's worth noting that games with revealed information are not finished, and what happens, like "you lost, you revealed my map," is considered unfair play because, even without knowing the rules, you deceived your opponent, forcing them to admit defeat and give you the password (if it makes you feel better, it's just a scam to get the password and reveal the map). Therefore, you are to blame. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?
P.S. I won't argue any further; we'll wait for highly qualified judges (Pita or Dirty).

Well, ignorance of the rules doesn't excuse you from responsibility. So, you can only blame yourself.

Diablero didn't break any rules, and I've already provided an example of a violation related to heroin, so the result is clear.

I read your post twice, and your thoughts are expressed very sadly; it feels like you're calling me a "cheater" :smile04:. I think it's worth noting that games that are "revealed" aren't finished, and situations like "you lost, you revealed my strategy" are considered unfair play because, even without knowing the rules, you deceived your opponent, forcing them to admit defeat and say the password (if it makes you feel better, it's just a trick to get the password and reveal the map). Therefore, you are to blame. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?
No, I'm not a cheater, but just for the slow learners, I'll explain one last time: we played, then there was a "reveal," the opponent left, we thanked each other for the game, exchanged messages about the nuances of the game, and then said good night! After that, I completely forgot about this topic, and then the organizer wrote to me a day before the end of the round, explaining this situation!!!!! WHAT UNFAIR PLAY, WHO DID I DECEIVE!? If Diabler had written to me immediately that the game would be replayed....
And I wrote the report after considering the judges' opinions, so don't make a fuss about it...

What is this nonsense about unfair play? Unfair play is when you deliberately do something against a person and not according to the rules. The point is that BOTH made a mistake. In this situation, in the organizer's place, I would either give extra time for another game (after all, the next round is the last) or take the saves from this game for judging (only objectively).

And why would someone who spent 12 hours playing a game, where they were tricked into giving away their password, want to replay it (of course, they thanked you for the game, they just didn't know that you made up a rule). This is what is called deception, even if it's unintentional. The person writes that they were tired and didn't care anymore, but after reviewing the rules, they realized that you were wrong. Frankly, your rude writing style is quite tiring; just calmly wait for your loss.

It turns out that neither of them knew the rules, so both can get a zero :D
But seriously, the one who claimed there was a rush when there wasn't is, of course, more at fault.

You really are an idiot; I'm repeating myself: the report was written after the judges made a decision, and don't confuse the concepts of decency and rude behavior; go away...

I wasn't dragging this situation out until the end...

I read your post twice, and you express your thoughts very poorly; it feels like you're trying to act tough:smile04:. I think it's worth noting that games where the map is revealed aren't finished, and what happens – "you lost, you revealed my map" – is considered unfair play because, even without knowing the rules, you deceived your opponent, forcing them to admit defeat and say the password (if it makes you feel better, it's just cheating to get the password and reveal the map), so you are to blame. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?
p.s. I won't argue any further; we'll wait for highly qualified judges (Pita or Dirty).

Did the word "tough guy" upset you, and that's why you came up with this nonsense? If both players don't know the rules, then no one is to blame but themselves. Ideally, the game should be replayed, but Diablero doesn't have time for that right now; he needs to deal with his anger.
