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:

If these players repeat this again.
They will be disqualified.
The draw for round 3 will take place on May 26.
We are playing the game. I told Koste about this. It started immediately after the arrival of the CIS team, so the reason is valid. Please give us a day or two to finish and remove the zeros.

We are currently playing. I told Koste about this. We started right after arriving at the CIS event, so there's a valid reason. Please allow us a day or two to finish and remove the zeros.
Hmm, both I and Palach are hearing this for the first time. Why weren't we informed? Why didn't we start immediately after the draw (before the trip to the CIS)? Why, in general, was there no message to the organizers, and what does Koste have to do with it? If at least this message had been sent BEFORE the draw, we would have been more accommodating, like with Predsu and Kaschei, but now, after the draw has been made, it's impossible, otherwise we would have to redo the entire thing. Write to the organizers!!! Always write to the organizers!!!

Please add me on ICQ, I wanted to ask you a few questions, but when I try to add you, it says: "zloy_romantik only receives messages from contacts on his contact list or from contacts that have registered their phone number. In order to send zloy_romantik a message, please register your phone number to ICQ, or add zloy_romantik to your contact list, and once zloy_romantik adds you to his contact list you can send zloy_romantik messages."

Hmm, both I and Executioner are hearing about this for the first time. Why weren't we informed? Why wasn't it started immediately after the draw (before the trip to the CIS)? Why, in general, wasn't there a single message to the organizers, and what does Kostya have to do with it? If at least this message had been sent BEFORE the draw, we would have been willing to cooperate, like Predsu and Koshchei, but now, after the draw has been made, it's impossible, otherwise we would have to redo the entire thing. Write to the organizers!!! Always write to the organizers!!!
What's so critical there? We've only played one round. We'll finish it tomorrow or the day after. There's not much left. Kostya is listed as a judge everywhere, so that's why I'm talking to him.

Since there was a game, and no one contacted the players, and Vanya warned Kostya, at the very least it should be considered a draw. And ideally, give people one day to finish playing, if none of the other participants object, of course!

Should the organizer contact the players? Isn't that in his best interest? I thought it was in the players' best interest.
3. Tournament host - zloy_romantik (296524052), Palach HP (426409548) - organizational issues.
Tournament judge: Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873) and Pit for LM (471401475)
It was written who to contact in such a situation.
Right now, someone is already playing the second round, and making a new draw would be... There will be a discussion about the judge's competence from the dissatisfied players who started and those who got lucky with their pairing.

Why hasn't anyone posted anything on the forum? This is a Swiss-system tournament. The draw has been completed, and the pairings have already been formed. Now, the protests and questions will begin: why is it this way, and why was I changed, etc. My decision is to not change anything anymore.

Like children, honestly. No, well, this is probably really the organizers' mistake – how could I forget? I have to write to everyone, ask, remind, and there are only 2 organizers for 72 players.

A judge in tournaments is for slightly different cases. The Swiss system is such that if you change the result of one pair, you have to redo the entire bracket. Next time, be more responsible. I'm online every day for at least 8 hours – we write about problems, we don't hesitate.

I know, I know some of them who think they got lucky. Moreover, there's already a completed game from the second round, so you can't redo the draw.

Just like kids, honestly. No, but seriously, this is probably an oversight on the organizers' part. How could I forget? I have to write to each one, ask, remind, and yet there are only 2 organizers for 72 players.

So, we need to put out a call and recruit volunteers. I wrote about this last year: for 72 participants, there should be 5-6 people in charge!...

Exactly, if it's a draw, then nothing needs to be redone! And even if it's 1-0, it's not critical; with an odd number of participants, the winner in the first round has to play against a loser! In general, this is an imagined problem, more like a matter of principle. Just say it directly
