Hello, friends! It's time for us to once again embark on a harsh campaign. To test our martial skill and valor in practice. I am gathering experienced crusaders and recruits under my banner. Welcome to a tournament where you yourself choose your favorite template and timer. But your opponent can do the same.

Official Tournament, held according to the Rules for Organizing, Conducting, and Participating in HOMM3 Online Tournaments
Game version SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod.
Game rules - Rules for Online Games in Heroes III and the Seasonal Ranking Tournament.
Tournament Organizer - Roger DAltavilla ICQ 624681987
Tournament Judge - Pit for LM ICQ 471401475

Regulations
The tournament is held using a round-robin system. Each participant chooses their favorite template and timer. In rounds where you play as red, the game is played on your template, and the opponent strikes out castles first. In blue rounds, the opposite applies.
To participate in the tournament, you must have already played in some competition on HeroesWorld or have 5 confirmed reports in the season.
Time per round - 2 weeks.

Template (map) selection criteria: any template already used in a tournament is acceptable.
Time limit criteria: no less than 4 min and no more than 10 min. If you absolutely insist on a chess timer, it must be adequate within the 4-10 min framework without battle time. Adequacy is to be coordinated with the organizer.

Transition between tournament stages. The Crusade consists of 3 stages: autumn, winter, and spring. Each stage is held using a round-robin system. To advance to a more prestigious group, you must achieve a higher position within your group. The following criteria are considered (in descending order of importance): 1 - position achieved (a clean position is valued higher than a shared one), 2 - Berger coefficient, 3 - Elo rating earned in the Crusade.
Additional conditions. Between stages, the following are permitted: leaving the tournament, joining it, changing your favorite template and timer. Before the end of registration, a participant has the right to change their template and timer.

The tournament application should look like this:

The rewards were very meager, and the respawn rate was extremely low. I started playing because Tazar immediately grabbed the land and then launched an attack. From the start, he had 9 archers; fight however you want – but even that didn't break me. There was very little money, so I clung to every small group and fought guards for gold. On his respawn point, there were peppers behind the gnomes (I took them on day 2). Then I encountered him – at Conflux – it also tested my nerves, but it was worth it. After finally defeating him, I began scouting his large territory – not in vain. On his respawn point, there were 4 ends with 10 angels each. In week 2, I built phoenixes in the citadel and 2 Dragon Utopias – by the end of week 3, I had them. They had a hat level 5, wings, a hat +10 knowledge, and a +3/+3 amulet. My opponent retook the secondary base and came to me with a lab assistant (she has advanced earth magic and 3 elements for experience, except water) and an army of 4 phoenixes, 1 fake, 27 sprites, 30 ducks, 3 angels, 21 air elementals, and 8 psykillers – without control, without strong offensive magic – 130 mana (he spent 20 on my "loser" spell, Zip, so as not to lose the angel). My Tazar has advanced attack, advanced defense, advanced earth magic, advanced wisdom, advanced pathfinding, and basic air magic. The army was like this: 34 monarchs, 9 phoenixes, 45 dragonflies, 10 angels, 17 firebirds, 14 vasas, and 55 lizard warriors – a large advantage. My opponent couldn't buy his way out – he didn't have money (I still had 180 mana). Thanks for the game!

Unfortunately, it happened, although I tried to play without making obvious mistakes. Thanks for the game.

I messed up at the beginning (the angels could have occupied the first town, although there wouldn't have been enough money for purchases). And then, in the second scenario, I had two morale bonuses. Thanks for the game.

In the first game, I was 3k short on gold for the birds, and although I had a stash of air units, the game didn't go well – I ended up in 132nd place in the dwell of magical dragons, and that's where I stayed:(
Thanks for the game!

I messed up at the beginning (the angels could have moved to the 1st position, although there wouldn't have been enough money for purchases). And then, in the 2nd console, I got two morale boosts.
Thanks for the game.

Kreg is great – he has logs and air elementals. By turn 114, he scouted 5 mermaids: two in the starting zone, three in the corner village zone. He also found a pack of hounds and 2 goblins. He drew 110 gremlins from the box. Considering the tower village, it turned out to be a good resource gathering turn. Overall, it was very engaging for me, and I'm a little sad that my opponent surrendered quickly. Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

In week 1, around turn 113 or 114, there was a massive loss of both time and army, with 90 units and Golem Stronghold creatures (even ran out of arrows and resorted to melee combat, with 0 stats against a dragon). Then, for about 2 days, I skipped turns due to a lack of time. After that, I got frustrated and played carelessly. My opponent played very well, managing to use two Necromancers to avoid critical hits and rush with a Moon Elf. Thanks for the game!:D

It was a good game, thanks.

I just noticed that the first group is the grand final. Can you tell me if this tournament isn't starting from scratch, and are all players participating? And do those in the first group initially have an advantage over the others?

That's correct. In the grand final, the players who took 1st and 2nd place in their group in the previous stage (Spring 2014) compete. There will be a new grand final in winter. Essentially, the players in the 1st group are competing for the main victory in the tournament.

I don't quite understand you; what is this "mess" in the tournament? These people played in a completely different tournament, so let them compete there to determine the winner; why are they being put into another tournament?
Also, you write that the next grand final will be in winter, but the tournament ends in spring; how is that possible?
Could you please specify who plays in which "league"? It's not very pleasant to register with everyone on equal terms and then find out that you are being put into an unequal group with others, but rather some sixth-tier group.

Indeed, it's a bit disappointing to see the time wasted... And what are the players NOT from the first group competing for??? I thought winning the group stage would give them a chance to play in the playoffs, but it seems like there's some confusion... I would appreciate it if the organizer could clarify the situation for "newcomers" to these events.

Let me explain: the tournament consists of three stages (autumn, winter, spring). In each stage, players are divided into groups. In the first group (the grand final), the main prize is awarded (also three times a year).
The participants who showed the best results in the previous stage get into the first (most prestigious) group.
To play in the Autumn 2014 grand final now, R55Max, Toganash, Maretti, and others competed in regular groups in the spring of 2014. For them, the grand final has now arrived, while for you, it's the selection for the Winter 2014/15 final. In fact, you are playing in different tournaments, so your interests are not affected.
The Crusade has the following advantages:
1) It allows identifying the winner in a short period of 6 months (compared to a regular tournament: groups + playoffs, about 9 months).
2) It allows identifying the winner three times a year, not just once.
3) It fairly ranks all players, not just the top 3 as usual.

I have nothing against the players in the first group; they deserve it. But it turns out that all the other players are competing for some kind of consolation cup for losers, since all the best players are already playing in a different tournament. I, of course, want to win a tournament, but winning a tournament with such a format would make it even awkward to put the award in my signature.

First, you need to win a tournament:rolleyes:
