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

They reached 136, their stats were higher, but they lacked control. The blue team, having built a Grand Master without control, decided to save time and not continue. The analysis showed that the game could have lasted longer.

Started strong - an external dwelling of Minotaurs, lots of gold. By day 121 already in the treasure zone, maxed out the Griffin Conservatory, cleared the treasure zone, stats around 20, but the army was greatly depleted. The opponent came to the same treasure zone, with much lower stats but 9 Angels and a lot of chaff. I grab the Book of Fire, attack since I was playing casually - mis-cast Armageddon, as a result I had to retreat with 5 Minotaurs, where there's 1 Angel. Managed to save. Couldn't be bothered to continue.

Thanks for the game.

The game turned out to be drawn out again, as there was a rest due to meeting an opponent. In the end, the respawn half-blocked by 10+ Thunderbirds spawned, with a Stone and Wood mine there, but on an unblocked respawn it's not bad for gold, plus 3 Griffin Conservatories. I beat the snow computer, even though I quickly took the Wood mine, I still had to build a Market to trade for Horses. On the second week, things took a long time to gather; in short, by the time I gathered everything and went into the treasure zone, there was nothing much left to do there. I managed to snag a Chest with 15 Liches and visit +2 All, then Shakti attacked. His stats were many times higher, less meat, but a stack of Minotaurs with attack over 20 cut down everything it could. In the end, after Armageddon, I was left with 1 Angel, saved. Later we decided to play for a draw!
Thanks for the game!

Due to personal circumstances, the opponent was unable to finish the game, and they conceded. :( Although the late game was shaping up to be interesting.
Thanks for the game.

Well, another OFB has come to its logical conclusion. In the evening, the results will be announced, and the names of the 7 players who made it to the FB will be revealed. It's a pity that there were arguments and squabbles again, but what tournament is complete without that action? :D Unfortunately, there were also many withdrawals... I understand - it's summer, and not everyone has the time, but what's surprising is that many who withdrew under the pretext of a lack of time continue to "play" in the season... well, these guys might face an unpleasant surprise next time. :) A special thank you to those who, even after losing all chances of qualifying, didn't abandon the tournament and continued to fight. And in conclusion, I just want to say thank you to everyone for the games - this was my debut tournament as an organizer, and it's up to you to decide whether the first pancake was a flop or not. :) P.S. - bubuch vs HellLighT - save KobRa_RR vs rebellious - save These 2 matches will determine the other 2 finalists. Guys, what's the news? The tournament is ending.

We argued and argued. In the end, Clavius managed to buff his stats to be superior, and my army was more interesting. But Mizrael made a mistake and ended up in last place. Thanks for the game!

It was a tough game; my opponent ran out of reinforcements, and I got a decent amount of Elves. I decided to play... but it wasn't that simple. The game generated a very long and winding single path. Out of the four resource nodes I visited, only Mini-Hives and Mini-Cons were available, while my opponent, by the middle of the second week, had 5+ Angels, 200+ Skeletons, and 20+ Wyverns. Naturally, a confrontation was undesirable, so I had to navigate through the wilderness in another direction. There, I killed a couple of computer-controlled heroes, and Kirusha leveled up nicely, getting boots and gloves. The resource gathering was in full swing. After clearing half of the first tier, I left almost all my troops there and, thanks to a found Cons (3), Kirusha started clearing the second tier. There, Pandora occupied the entire 4th level, along with a Teleportation Scroll. I built a GM5 with a library in the tower. There, I got a Dread Knight, and immediately after, I took a Utopia from the first tier with a Crown! Everything seemed great, but I had seen in a replay a week ago how a bunch of my opponent's heroes disappeared from the tier where he was, and by day 141, he was already sitting with Archons. This almost certainly meant he had Teleportation, which turned out to be the case. He emerged after the second tier, also with a Dread Knight. The resource gathering was going well, with an Armageddon Scroll. I leveled up a powerful mage at the altar, giving him the Sphere of Fire and Cursed Armor. On day 211, I failed, with a Plague Month event. Considering that I controlled most of the map, I spent another week maneuvering, setting everything up to trap him in a castle and then attack. But there, he had a Cloak of Negation (sadness, I think I'll have to keep running around, finishing off the map, and waiting for mistakes). However, a mistake happened on day 221!!!! My opponent buys Marksmen and a Rogue with horses, and with Marksmen (without ranged attack), he kills my Rogue (with the same Marksmen; he also killed my main hero, so this was definitely a net gain). Redraw! A completely valid one, not even fabricated! Well, hooray for the victory, gentlemen. I hope that the higher-ups will soon remove this damned rule. For now, I think I'll stop banging my head against the wall and move on. Thanks for your time. :smile39:
P.s. It turns out that the fleeing hero still had Archons)) The report needs to be voided. RR is still alive: smile48:
