It seems like FB-8 has just ended, the players have put their horses back in the stables, and Maretti is basking in his glory, but then... New heroes decided to challenge the champion and prove their strength in battles against him and other prize winners in the next final battle; in short, OFB-9 tournament is officially open.:smile03:



I. Regulations and deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using a "Swiss" system.

The tournament starts on April 20, 2015; registration ends on April 19, 2015 inclusive.

Each round lasts two weeks – matches will be scheduled without regard to opinions or authority (the only exception is CNG-15 in Volgograd).
Players can agree on a convenient time for themselves, but if they cannot reach an agreement, the critical time for the game is Saturday night - Sunday at 9:00 PM Moscow time - the game must last at least 5 hours (if it was not possible to play in one go, then in the second week - at least 7 hours)thus, in order to resolve the issue of awarding points, players must play at least 12 hours!!!, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw and making arrangements; if you fail to do so, write to the organizer or judges; if you don't write, I assume that everything is fine with you and, in case of a controversial situation, I will proceed based on this. In case one player does not show up at the agreed time, the other player must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when submitting the results, this will be the main argument.
This point is non-negotiable.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 7 players advance to the final stage, but under certain circumstances (such as tied places, a player who qualified for FB withdrawing, etc.), the host has the right to expand this list (has the right – does not mean he will necessarily do so – for particularly pedantic demagogues :) ).

The organizers reserve the right to change these regulations.

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) + HD mod latest version; by mutual agreement, WoG, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version can be used.
Games using HW rules mods are only allowed with mutual consent.
3. The template is chosen in turn from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish - standard (played with random castles at 200% difficulty with the HW_rules_mod patch, you can play mirror matches if both players want, Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in red in the table chooses the template first (in this case, the player indicated as number 1 in the pair plays in red).
4. Castle selection... In this tournament, castle selection will be "optional," meaning there is no specific order – you want to play Necropolis? Please do so; you want to play Dungeon? Be my guest, BUT… you cannot play the same castle more than twice in the tournament (if this rule is violated, the match will be forfeited; upon recurrence, disqualification).
The red player starts choosing the castle. If the players want to play with the same castles, they must agree on who will play which one; if they fail to reach an agreement, they will play with random heroes.
This point is non-negotiable; if it doesn't suit you, don't play.
5. The winning player, before the end of the round deadline, must submit a report, and the losing player must confirm it - those who fail to comply with this rule will not be allowed to participate in the draw for the next round.
6. 2 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points scored. In case of a tie, additional criteria apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head result
7. Draws are prohibited in the last round!!!

III. Organizational issues
1. This is an official, regular tournament.
2. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament host: zloy_romantik (296524052), Palach HP (426409548) – organizational matters.
Tournament judge: Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873) and Pit for LM (471401475)
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves from all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon request from the tournament hosts or any member of the AC (Arbitration Committee).
6. If controversial situations arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve this, contact the host or judge in ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. Appeals against decisions can and should be filed with the AC, not by starting arguments - I will delete such posts and punish offenders (Palach is co-host for a reason; he definitely has an axe :D ).
7. All games in the tournament count towards the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are posted in this thread and will be copied to the "Reports of online games and their confirmations" thread. Therefore, there is no need to duplicate reports in the season ranking.
8. The final stage 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 participate in the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered individually).
3. Players who have just registered are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception – active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered individually).
4. Players with permanent bans are not allowed to participate in the tournament. If any player receives a permanent ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified, and their results will be annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who repeatedly "ignored" tournaments may be rejected.
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Winners and 2nd/3rd place winners of FB-7 tournament are NOT eligible for selection (Maretti, Aive, and Stinger).
8. Attention all participants. Those who have unconfirmed reports that are one month or older at the start of the tournament will not be admitted. Please check current tournaments and the season ranking for outstanding debts!

Well, I think that's it; saddle up, and may the strongest win :smile13:

An original way to formulate the rules.

What about the second question? Do I understand correctly that the color that is not in the table and is determined according to Sevan_80's assumption, matches the color in the game?
The player designated as number 1 in the draw plays with the red color. (I didn't think it would be so difficult to understand, I'll add it to the regulations now).

Is this something that can be understood, or should it just be memorized? If it can be understood, could you provide an example of the reasoning process?
I'll add it to the regulations now.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!
I based my reasoning on the logic that a Swiss system is usually used in chess and checkers competitions; after the draw, the player listed first plays with the white pieces; in our case, this would be red. That's how it works.
P.S. - No need to thank me.

Attention to all participants. Anyone with unconfirmed reports that are a month old or older at the start of the tournament will not be allowed to participate. Please check your current tournaments and season for any outstanding reports!
Apparently, no one cares. Well, I'm giving one last warning:

Will be disqualified from the tournament and receive a tech loss in the first round if they don't close their outstanding reports before the end of the first round!

P.S.: I will talk to herolwy and Dave_HUN personally.

The rules are getting better. Because of one missed report after 100,500 games with Darkello, they are treating players the same as those who intentionally cheat. P.S. I found that report (with some effort) and confirmed it!

They will be disqualified from the tournament and will receive a technical loss in the first round if they don't settle their outstanding reports by the end of the first round!


Wow, how threatening... Even if you're too lazy to look at the report itself, which doesn't exist, at least read the message I sent you in ICQ two weeks ago.

Yes, it's intimidating. I can't check every report to see if it's been deleted or not. I wrote without threats a week ago, and everyone ignored it; everyone was sure they were completely innocent and had no debts.
In this specific case, it's my mistake; I completely forgot to delete it, even though you asked me to. I apologize.

Had an average start, I was thinking about restarting, but I put my faith in Crag Hack. 112 beat a horde of walking dead for a Pandora Box, it gave 45 halberdiers. 114 beat 48 wraiths for another Pandora Box, gave 10k XP. 116 beat lots of pit lords for yet another Pandora, gave 10k gold, which I needed very much for AAs. 121 entered the Naga bank for 8k gold, my 3 Hives gave 20 wyverns. Break was @ 122 with 6 AAs and 20 wyverns. On 123, the top gave +4 all, +3 all, and a red orb. Met opponent @ 124 in a dungeon town, had a superior army and hero. Thanks for playing!
I only played this game because I got two Pandora Boxes and Galtran got Earth Magic on 111, 5000 XP, and level 2 magic. Judging by the result, I should have restarted. On 114, I got the first clue, then the second, a total of four clues were found on the respawn. The respawn was quite empty, there were no canned resources, and there were no good artifacts, except for all the shields (+3/+3, +4, +5, +6). I found a stash of liches and a stash of horses on 117, but I couldn't get to it in time. On 122, I took a Pandora Box for 13 champions, giving 10k XP. Galtran was leveling up poorly. On 123, my army: 6 groups of horses, 25 ducks, and 220+ skeletons, I broke through a Guardian of the Oasis consisting of 40+ groups of nagas without any losses. On 124, I took another clue in the center for 4 ducks and went into the second Utopia, they gave a +4/+4 helmet, +12 armor, and that's it. I sat down in the central dungeon to replenish mana, then an opponent attacked with a superior army and stats, plus a red orb. GG! Thanks to the opponent for the game! P.S. In the end, we managed to get one Utopia each, but the contents were completely different. And also, the starting Castle decided everything. The Angel upgrade on 122, I think, is close to ideal!

Angel grade 117 – that’s impressive. And 122 – just another day, I guess.

Poor financial management allowed building only 1-5 in the Citadel on a huge respawn.., but I was heartened by 2 external air dwellings and 2 water dwellings. There were 2 Necromancers, we farmed nearly 200 skeletons, which made me feel more confident going into the second wave of Air Elementals. On the second week, I took my Dungeon and the secondary hero through wasteland, where I had enough gold for Griffins in Castle. Meanwhile, my opponent was operating in the third week and surrendered early in the third week.

Thanks for the game!

Poor financial management meant I could only build up to 1-5 in the citadel on a huge respawn.., but 2 external dwellings of air and 2 of water kept my spirits up. There were 2 necromancers, we amassed nearly 200 skeletons, which made me feel more confident against the second tray of air units. On the second turn, I took my dungeon and the second player via the wasteland; there was enough gold for birds in the castle. The opponent, meanwhile, was operating in the treasure room and threw it all away at the start of the third.

Thanks for the game!
I played the first week smartly, but on the 2nd I entered the treasure room and things went downhill; I broke through the box for one-hitters, decided not to take them without a sage, then somehow pushed the sage forward, only to find out there was level 5 in the box. I felt very bitter and everything started falling apart; ended up in the Dragon Utopia, thanks for the game!
