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

Rebel, haven't you noticed that in most tournaments you participate in, some kind of trouble happens, and it always involves you, and this has been going on since Heroes of Might and Magic?
Maybe it's time to think about it and change something about yourself, instead of blaming the admins or someone else?
Satyr

This doesn't change the fact that Rebel is a fan of dirty tricks, and the scheme of "we'll play on the last Saturday, or else..." (especially if he knows that you can't play then and doesn't care that there was or is plenty of time to play before that) has already been tested by him.

I agree. I've also encountered this. I had to perform "100 Labors of Hercules" and argue with my wife in order to finally play on Saturday from a country house 200 km from home, although before that I could play for a whole week at any time. You can't change an adult, but maybe... well, it's clear, because there are enemies everywhere.

And regarding Darkello's post, where did you even see anything about my withdrawal? I was going to withdraw anyway; are you even following the tournament and what people are writing?)
I am in a state of great uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the calculation of your and Bubich's Buchholz coefficient:cool:
therefore, I expressed my opinion by mentioning you.

My post on Facebook was deleted; they could have just moved it to the discussion board or here. I'll try repeating my question.
Rebel, haven't you noticed that in most Tournaments with your participation, some problems occur, and specifically involving you? This has been happening since Heroes of Might and Magic III.
Maybe it's time to think about this and change something within yourself instead of blaming AK or someone else?
And this is written by a person who hasn't played all the games in Heroes of Might and Magic VII.:D
Who, by the way, wasn't supposed to be allowed into Heroes of Might and Magic VIII, and conclusions were drawn...
But we always prioritize common sense and what benefits the forum...)))
Dirty_Player
We are summarizing the intermediate results. There was a condition:
Quote:
2) 6 games must be played by 31.10.2013.
Therefore, players Amiloo, bRitvo4ka, Redwhait HP leave our Tournament as they did not play within the deadline. Those who didn't play against Amiloo and Redwhait HP in the remaining games will be awarded technical victories. All results of player bRitvo4ka are annulled because he played less than 50% of the games (but they will count towards the seasonal rating because he participated).

These players also lose the opportunity to participate in future Facebook Tournaments (and Offline Facebook Tournaments accordingly).

Please don't take offense; I warned everyone from the beginning that the deadlines would be strict.

Now let's move on to the final stage of the Tournament. Players must complete all games by 29.12.13, but I think we can finish earlier without those who haven't completed their games.

This is coming from someone who hasn't played all the games in Heroes of Might and Magic VII. :D
And who, by the way, wasn't supposed to be allowed into Heroes of Might and Magic VIII, and to draw conclusions...
And this is coming from someone who has nothing to do with this tournament at all. :smile54:

And this is coming from someone who has absolutely no connection to this tournament:D :smile54:
If this is the most prestigious tournament on the forum, then everyone on the forum should have some involvement. Or do you think it's just a small, casual tournament with a $10 prize pool each week?

If this is the most prestigious tournament on the forum, then it concerns everyone on the forum. Or is it just a small, informal competition with a $10 prize pool every week, in your opinion?
What relevance does the tournament have for those who didn't even participate in it? :confused:

Oh my god, you’re so annoying with all this pointless chatter. As I understand it, there’s a personal conflict between Reb and Cobra, and when Reb realized he was starting to lose, he started complaining. This is at least very unseemly.
The judges decided to do what they thought was best, which, in my opinion, was the right thing to do... but it turned out as always. A crowd of "experts" with a superficial understanding of the problem and a bunch of advice emerged. Enough with the nonsense!

What does it have to do with the tournament if they didn't even participate in it? :confused:
Spectators also participate. I don't know how to explain it any clearer:smile15:.

Besides, all this outrage from your side looks like an attempt to distract attention from forum member Stizko reminding everyone of the judges' words regarding the players who didn't treat the tournament fairly. Otherwise, it turns out that they say one thing, but do something else in the end. It's actually good that he reminded everyone.

The audience is also involved. I don't know how to explain it better:smile15:.

And in general, all these complaints from your side look like an attempt to distract attention from the forum member Stizko reminding everyone of the judges' words regarding the players who did not treat the tournament fairly. Because it turns out that they say one thing, but do something else in the end. It's even good that he reminded them.
How much we love conflicts, there was a post by Pete on March 31 regarding Redwait -
"Regarding Redwhait HP's participation. We discussed it and decided to accept the application - under the responsibility of the Evil host, considering the player's strong desire and his promise to strictly adhere to the deadlines and not neglect our main tournament. Otherwise, there will be immediate disqualification and repercussions."

I am deeply uncertain about the accuracy of your and Bubich's accountant coefficient calculation:cool:
therefore, I expressed my opinion by addressing you.

There is no need to be uncertain - just enter the formula into Excel and calculate it.

We really love conflicts. There was a post from Pete on March 31st regarding Redwhait:
"Regarding Redwhait HP's participation. We discussed it and decided to accept the application - under the responsibility of the Evil host, considering the player's strong desire and his promise to strictly adhere to deadlines and not interfere with our main tournament. Otherwise, there will be immediate disqualification and repercussions."
Now it's clear, thank you for the explanation.

Now apologies should be offered to Redwhait....:D
If he hadn't responded in the spirit of "it's none of your business").

The viewers also participate.
If the viewers are "participating," then they should follow everything completely, and not take something out of context; this only creates confusion.

Please calculate it and enlighten me, I'm clueless:confused:
