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:

It’s unlikely to be feasible; Palach should already be conducting the draw for the 2nd round by the 12th (I will be away), and 72 people are unlikely to want to wait for the result of one match. Contact the Chairman; perhaps he will arrive before the 8th.
I arrived home at 11:30 PM after 12 hours behind the wheel from Volgograd; do you think I’m ready to sit down and play right away? And Kaschei is leaving tomorrow; he needs to pack his things, so he clearly doesn’t have time to play. The question about the CIS was raised in advance, before registration for the tournament.
I’m on vacation until the 20th, so after the holidays, I can play at any time.

Darku has 400 km to travel from the city-hero to Saratov, while I have almost 1000 km; there seems to be a difference.

Adamych, don't get upset :) Maybe I didn't let you play right after the draw? Or am I sending Kaschei somewhere, and he announced it almost at the last moment? :) Because of the CIS region, I allocated an extra week for the first round, as I told you. The fact that you're on vacation until the 20th is good; it means there won't be any problems with the second round. How do you imagine a Swiss-system draw with one unplayed match? I'm not familiar with such methods. If you can't find a common time, schedule a draw, flip a coin, or play a blitz game tomorrow morning. I don't know. I'm leaving tomorrow evening and will probably disappear from the forum until the 12th-13th; it all depends on the internet there. Contact Palach; maybe he can come up with something. He's in charge of the draw for the second round.

The tournament will start on 04/21/2015 and ...
On the 24th, I was already in Gomel, taking Stepan to his wedding. So, Pavel is not to blame for the fact that we didn't play; it's 0.0.

P.S. We wrote to Palach, waiting for his answer.

I agree with Dima, since you promised to let us play properly after the CIS tournament, keep your word :)

Please remove me from the tournament. I won't be able to participate in the coming months. In the match against skd, I have an advantage on the current save, but based on the above, I concede the victory.

We played for a very long time, and a series of my mistakes could have led to a loss, BUT fortunately, that didn't happen. P.S. I still couldn't find the teleport after 10 attempts, 20+ scrolls, and 6-8 game masters. :smile04: Thank you for the game.

I believe that the organizers' decision to postpone and extend the duration of the round was detrimental to the game. As a result, after saving the game, I completely forgot what the game was about and the location of the objects. This significantly affected the outcome. Therefore, this accommodating practice, which favors certain circumstances due to other tournaments, needs to be stopped. So, if a deadline is set, it should either be adhered to (and not just threatened to be adhered to) or the games should not be held. Thank you for the game. Also, it is worth discussing the issue of saving the game, especially if mutual agreement between opponents cannot be reached. The questions are: who can be the initiator; after how many hours of play; if one player disappears, falls asleep, or simply leaves, what should be done; and somewhere it was mentioned about recording the actual game time of the players.

It would also be good to discuss the issue of saving the game, especially if the players cannot reach an agreement. Questions include: who can initiate the save; after how many hours of gameplay; what happens if one player leaves, falls asleep, or simply steps away; and there was also some talk about recording the actual in-game time for each player.

Guys, I'm shocked. I live in Primorsky Krai (+7 Moscow time) and I constantly play, but I don't have these problems.

I think the organizers should be penalized for such confirmations of games! Instead of a report, there are only accusations and complaints:mad:
P.S. Cobra, you're great:smile20:

Organizers, please add HeroLvi to the OFB. I can’t submit the report. If a result is needed, it’s a draw.
