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
Draw

Pff, wrap it up, the decision has been made, the rest is just whining and complaining.
The decision has been made and will not be changed; I was just trying to explain my point of view and the judges' point of view.
I won't quote the whole block; I'm just curious, what's wrong with it? Also, why did you bring this private conversation here? :D Anyway, I'm tired of it; the decision has been made. Complaints are accepted by the Arbitration Committee, the UN, and Obama.

And also, esteemed judge, when making your decision, you used political motives related to today's difficult situation, which was confirmed by you yourself, and that this too is an element of the game. Or are we apolitical?
A very cool and serious statement. Great provocations are coming :D
zloi_romantik

Yes, regarding politics... don't go there, you were the first to bring up this topic, and in a very unpleasant context at that; I simply quoted your own words back to you. And yes, HeroesWorld is apolitical.

I don't even know what he's unhappy about; he's in the Facebook group (if he confirms his participation), he just needs to finish the match...:confused:
I have clearly stated that a single match cannot be counted in two Tournaments. That's one thing. It's even elementary; where did the judges' logic and reason disappear to? Because if a rules violation is discovered after checking the save files, it breaks the scheme of both Tournaments. The violator should be awarded the tech point, but only when this is discovered. After all, the Facebook group was expanded under the guise of having an equal number of points among the last contenders. And you can only check the last turn of the game. And as a result, if someone wins the game, it means that its result affects the standings in the overall Facebook group, but the players have already been allowed into the Facebook group. They're just afraid to admit that it was a draw, and that would mean Cobra wouldn't qualify, but the "conditional draw" allows for manipulation. My chances of winning after save 242 have decreased. And it's possible that my maximum score in the game is half a point. And now they want to count this completed Tournament game in a new Tournament. But these are different Tournaments!

Rebellius's arguments are logical. I'm voting for him.

I imagined a scenario – the result of a qualifying match for the 2016 European Football Championship was counted towards the final stage of the championship. It's absurd, though.

Replaying is fine, but putting this replay somewhere other than the main tournament (OFB) makes no sense, in my opinion.

AK believed that such a complex and intense match, with equal chances for both sides, would be a great addition to the Featured Battles. And it would simply be a shame to leave such an interesting game without a result. Too much heroic effort was put into this Spider map.

In other words, does the AK really believe that the qualifying match xxxvsyyy, which was interrupted on the 60th minute due to power issues with a score of 5:4, deserves to be moved to the final stage of the tournament, taking into account its unfinished result?

I completely agree with Rebellius. Firstly, his arguments are absolutely logical and well-founded. Secondly, I don't see the logic in moving a game from one tournament to another when one of the participating sides disagrees. Thirdly, this isn't the first time that Cobra has been late, and the games are then given to the adjudicating committee. I don't want to seem biased, and I definitely don't want to accuse the adjudicating committee, but it seems to me that Cobra is given preferential treatment in such cases very often.
Когда рестартов не осталось, обязательно ждите Гурниссона без балисты:D

The situation clearly deserves to be reviewed by the Arbitration Committee. Otherwise, it seems like the members are just sitting around doing nothing... ;)

So, does AK really believe that the qualifying match xxx vs yyy, which was interrupted on the 60th minute due to power issues with the score at 5:4, deserves to be moved to the final stage of the tournament, considering its unfinished result?
AK doesn't engage in hypothetical scenarios with made-up circumstances. AK analyzes specific controversial situations.
Everyone on the forum who is taking one side or another should remember: you haven't seen the saves of the unfinished match and haven't tracked the attendance/absence/disconnections during the replay.
The decision regarding the Rebellius - Cobra match was made in favor of the forum. AK believed that this decision would benefit our entire community.
1. All deserving players will advance to the Final Battle.
2. The most interesting match will conclude with a real result, rather than an awarded one.
3. The desire (if anyone has such a desire) to manipulate the technical result will be significantly reduced.

The Arbitration Committee (AK) does not engage in thought experiments with fictional circumstances. The AK analyzes specific disputed situations.
Everyone currently on the forum who takes one side or another should remember: you have not seen the saves of an unfinished game and have not tracked attendance/absences/disconnections during the continuation of the game.
The decision regarding the Rebellius - Cobra game was made in favor of the forum. The AK considered that all of our community would benefit from this decision.
1. All deserving players will advance to the Final Battle (FB).
2. The most interesting game will end with a real result, not an awarded one.
3. The desire (if anyone has such a desire) to artificially influence the technical result will be sharply reduced.
Why should a game that was played in the Open Final Battle (OFB) be continued in the Final Battle (FB)?
If this is not an invention of the AK, where is it written? (in my opinion, even if Rebellius is somewhat wrong, it still shouldn't be this way).

From the very beginning, they should have appointed worthy candidates for the Hall of Fame. Then, perhaps, there would have been no need to award anything...
