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

1st week I spent collecting resources and gold for angels.
In the end, on day 117, I was short 2 mercury. I build a Stronghold.
On day 121, the Miner with a slow army visits the stables in the Castle. Then I take 3 beehives on 16 wyverns.
On day 131, I take a tier-3 consulate without losses, I go to the treasure zone.
There I take a tier-1 Dragon Utopia. I rejoice at the XP ball.
At this time, the opponent bursts into my respawn with a decent army. The Miner picks up a couple more beehives and crashes into the Castle.
The opponent decides not to assault. Next turn, I attack.
There is a buyout on 2 angels. I have 22 wyverns left.
On day 136, I was standing near the blue main, when suddenly a Clavic with angels and another insignificant army of GG attacked me.
Thanks for the game!
Thanks to the organizers for the tournament. All opponents were tough. It was interesting to play:)

For the first week, I focused on gathering resources and earning money for angels.
In the end, on day 117, I was short 2 mercury. I'm building a Stronghold.
On day 121, a Miner visits the stable in the Castle. Then, I take 3 hives on day 16.
On day 131, I conquer a level 3 town without losses and head to the Treasury.
There, I take a level 1 Utopian. I'm happy to get a Crystal Ball.
At this time, an opponent with a decent army invades my territory. The Miner gets a couple more hives and is defeated in the Castle.
The opponent decides not to attack. On the next turn, I attack.
There's a ransom for 2 angels. I have 22 Vipers left.
On day 136, I was near the blue main town when a Cleric with angels and a small army attacked me. GG.
Thank you for the game!
Thank you to the organizers for the tournament. All opponents were challenging. It was interesting to play :)


Everything was great, but I made a mistake and went to the opponent instead of the Treasury. I didn't make it to the main town, and there are parameters and Utopian huts there.

Thank you for the game!

I had a decent amount of money and was playing on the external market. I chose Necropolis and decided to play. I had a couple of unsuccessful battles, lost a lot of pixies and 3 air elementals. I was even thinking of taking a break, but I decided against it because of the external market. On turn 116, I encountered an opponent with a small army. I blocked his path home, and on the next turn, he attacked and surrendered after a few rounds.
Thanks for the game.

2k skeletons + 80 vipers + full control on almost all heroes is a strong strategy, although the opponent had good chances to win (he had a lot of Fortress treasure hunters).
Thanks for the game!

Started well – found a stash of Minotaurs and earned a lot of money. By turn 121, I was in the treasure hall, defeated a maxed-out Consul, cleared the treasure hall, and my stats were around 20, but my army had dwindled significantly. The opponent arrived at the same treasure hall; his stats were much lower, but he had 9 Angels and a lot of junk. I grabbed the Book of Fire and attacked because I was playing casually – I cast Armageddon poorly, and as a result, I had to retreat with 5 Minotaurs, leaving one Angel behind. We saved the game. I didn’t feel like continuing.

Thank you for the game.
