Tournament Rules.
1. Games are played on the latest official version of the game. Currently – HoMM V: Tribes of the East 3.1, with the Tournament Edition mod used in this tournament. By default, games are played on the Ubi server. By agreement, games may be played via Hamachi, Remobo, COMODO EasyVPN, GameRanger and similar programs.
2. Since there is an autosave in the game - it is recommended to save once every 3 days.
3. THE TOURNAMENT IS CONDUCTED IN A ROUND-ROBIN FORMAT. Each participant plays everyone else once. One week + 4 days are given per round. The round starts every Friday.
TEMPLATE SELECTION IS DONE BY DRAW FOLLOWING THE SCHEME 1-1-....1 FROM THE FULL LIST, starting with the blue player. Template list - crown, letos, m3, mask, labyrinth, rainbow, spider, sun.
RACE SELECTION IS DONE BY DRAW FROM THE FULL LIST FOLLOWING THE SCHEME 1-2-2...2-1. The blue player starts the draw.
IMPORTANT - PARTICIPANTS ARE FREE TO AGREE ON ANY RULES IN A PAIR. IF DISAGREEMENTS ARISE, THE ABOVE RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED.
Players determine their colors independently; if difficulties arise in choosing a color, any available judge must be contacted.
It is possible to play ahead for the entire tournament if opponents are available. After the participants are finalized, we will create a bracket for better orientation.
4. The use of any bugs, undocumented features, cheat codes, as well as unofficial programs and modifications, other than the TE mod itself (and virtual network software), is prohibited.
5. In case of connection loss or game crash, the last autosave is loaded; players are required to exactly repeat all their moves up to the moment of connection loss or crash. If a connection loss or crash occurs on the first day of the game, heroes are randomly assigned again.
6. In battles between players, a stalemate situation may arise (where neither player can win). In this situation, the attacking side must retreat or surrender (at their discretion). If the Shackles of War artifact is involved in the battle, then in case of a stalemate, the battle should be finished in AutoCombat mode.
7. Each player has the right to one restart with map regeneration no later than the second day (the end of the day is considered as pressing the turn-end button, regardless of whether the opponent has completed their current turn or not); after a restart, the races are set again as drawn by the players. In case of a technical restart (simultaneous turn crash on Day 1 or desync etc.), races remain for the next generation. Hero is random.
Simultaneous turn crash or desync in week 1 - technical restart (except cases where both players are ready to continue)
Simultaneous turn crash or desync in week 2 and later - game continues (except cases where both players are ready to start over)
8. "Red-rush" is prohibited, meaning an attack by the red player on the first day of the week with purchased growth (the red player may attack on the first day, but without purchasing growth).
9. Any joining of neutrals is prohibited; as an exception, joined units can be sacrificed into the pit or sold at the market.
10. Using the "Astral Gates" travel spell to jump from any zone into the opponent's starting zone is prohibited if the portal/garrison connecting them has not been breached. It is also prohibited to use the "Astral Gates" travel spell to jump to an adjacent zone of the opponent and enter the opponent's starting zone in the same turn.
11. Pressing wait on Krag's first strike in battles with opponent heroes is prohibited; it is allowed against neutrals.
12. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw.
13. Attention! LOADS ARE PROHIBITED in this tournament!!
Exception: both players have reached a mutual agreement on the number of loads. If, despite the agreement on the number of loads, players have disagreements about the outcome of the game (win/loss) due to loads, the tournament judges reserve the right to decide the outcome.

Since there is an autosave in the game - it is recommended to save once every 3 days.
Each player in each round has the right to one restart with map regeneration no later than the end of Day 2, Week 1, Month 1. In case of conflicting interests:
- in week 1 of the game, a technical restart is assigned with mandatory map regeneration and original factions;
- in week 2 of the game, players may agree on a technical restart with mandatory map regeneration and original factions.
If all creatures for both players die at the end of a battle / final battle, the victory goes to the one who performed the last action on the battlefield (for example, cast Armageddon, broke a crystal, hit with lava dragon creatures and died from fire shield damage).
Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw.
The winner of the tournament is the one who scores the most points.
The report on the played game is written by the winner of the match. The defeated player must confirm it. It is desirable to record the final battle; in a disputed situation, it may help the Tournament judges.
The game report should be formatted as follows:
Player1 (faction, main hero(es)) def. | lost Player2 (faction, main hero(es)) - Template, month-week-day
where def. indicates victory, lost indicates defeat
The report may also contain a brief description of interesting game moments.
Example
kontra (Dungeon, Sinitar) lost Sir_Moz (Sylvan, Wyngaal) - Spiral, 2-1-6
or
Vsev (Лига Теней, Iranna) def. Alan Prost (Haven, Axel) - Spider, 1-4-2
Reports must be provided by both players.
