The show tournament by twaryna is still ongoing, and it's already clear that the version has turned out to be quite playable. Some minor edits are still possible, but overall, the gameplay will not change in the foreseeable future.

Therefore, we are starting an open HotA tournament.

Game information and download links are here - http://vk.com/h3hota.

Game version: HotA 1.3.8 + HDmode.

Template: chosen by lot from Jebus, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6lm10a.

Castles: all games are played in the Wharf vs Wharf format; one player chooses the color, and the other player chooses the starting hero first.

Timer - standard for ХВ rules, but battle time is 2 minutes (with unfamiliar troops, more thinking is required during combat).
Jebus - 24+8:30+2
Diamond - 19+8+2
Mini-Nostalgia - 19+8+2
8mm6a - 21+8+2
6lm10a - 21+8+2

Roads - fast for Jebus and medium for other templates.

Restarts - 3 days in total (+objective restarts due to blocks, bugs, or encounters).

Red-rush is allowed.

Other rules correspond to the HotA show tournament rules

Tournament format - Swiss system with elimination after 2 losses. Each round is played as a best-of-one (bo1). Time per round - 3 weeks.

Rules may be clarified later, as some nuances might have been missed the first time. In case of a disputed or doubtful situation, it is recommended to contact the judge immediately. That is, do not abuse discovered bugs.

Players have the right to agree on any changes in the rules except for the game version.

Each participant must pass qualification - play at least one full online game in HotA. This is to ensure that you have installed the software correctly and understand the game rules. Players who participated in the show tournament or have game reports for HotA in the season are exempt from qualification.

Register here, specifying ICQ/Skype. Start as soon as a quorum is reached.

UPDATE

Regarding the tournament start dates - 3 weeks are given for registration and qualification, meaning the draw for the 1st round will be on 24.04.2015

Players may independently agree on tournament games ahead of the bracket. For this, players must have an equal number of wins/losses. The fact of agreement should be reported to me before the start of the game via a forum post or ICQ message. Independent games that were not reported before the draw of the corresponding round are considered null and void.

Anyone who wants to start already can find an opponent for the 1st round themselves and play against them. Early games may be counted as qualification if bo3 (best-of-3) is played.

Final:

Maretti vs YaR

To win the tournament, Maretti only needs to win once, while YaR must win twice.

UPDATE

Since the starting confusion has ended, we will play more orderly from the 2nd round onwards.

1) Players who do not meet the round deadline (regardless of whose fault), will play in the next round with a debuff - their opponent may choose both the color and the hero.

Exceptions are possible at the discretion of the organizer. For example, if players reported difficulties in advance (within one week from the start of the round).

Therefore, I recommend not waiting until the last day, but agreeing and starting to play immediately.

2) Private messages from the organizer should be answered within 3 days. The same applies to public messages with any requests. Lack of reaction is interpreted against the player.

For example, if in response to a private message "How is the round 2 game going?", one of the players replied (regardless of what), and the second remained silent, then in the absence of a result, a technical victory will be awarded to the first.

3) If a player withdraws from the tournament or is disqualified, their slot is passed in order of queue to players who have already been eliminated from the tournament. Priority is given to those who progressed further, and if they reached the same distance - to whoever played earlier.

Therefore, I recommend agreeing and playing subsequent rounds before their official start.

Since the initial confusion is over, we will start playing more organized from Round 2.

1) Players who do not meet the deadline for the round (regardless of the reason) will play in the next round with a debuff - their opponent can choose both the color and the hero.

Exceptions are possible at the discretion of the organizer. For example, if players reported difficulties in advance (within a week of the start of the round).

Therefore, I recommend not waiting until the last day, but immediately agree and start playing.

2) Private messages from the organizer should be answered within 3 days. The same applies to public messages with any requests. Lack of response will be interpreted to the detriment of the player.

For example, if one of the players answered something (anything) to a private message "How is Round 2 going?", and the second remained silent, then in the absence of a result, a technical victory will be awarded to the first.

3) If a player withdraws from the tournament or is disqualified, their slot will be passed on to the next player in the queue who has already been eliminated from the tournament. Priority is given to those who have progressed further, and if the distance is equal, to those who played earlier.

Therefore, I recommend agreeing and playing the next rounds before their official start. Currently, The_ is first in line to replace

For comparison, in Warlords of the Wastelands, the Miner has 20-25 troglodytes in his stacks, and no one complains (they complained when there were 15-25).
They didn't complain because of the troglodyte upgrade.
Although, in my opinion, Laura with the Warlords of the Wastelands-style harpy functionality is much better.

With Maretti, save the game at the beginning of the second month, and finish it off when she appears.

3) If a player withdraws from or is disqualified from the tournament, their slot is passed on to the next player in line who has already been eliminated from the tournament. Priority is given to those who progressed further, and if they are at the same distance, to those who played earlier.

Therefore, I recommend that you agree and play the next rounds before their official start. Currently, The_ is first in line for a replacement.
So, if someone from the "winners" bracket suddenly drops out in, say, the fifth round, will a player who was eliminated in the first round suddenly appear in their place???
Or will the player who was eliminated in the fourth round get a second chance, as they progressed further (based on what was written above)?
I don't understand the logic...
Or is there a difference between "withdrawal and disqualification" and the fact that a dozen of those who registered disappeared in the first round? Does that mean they didn't withdraw or get disqualified, and a replacement isn't required for them?
Then, in what case will a replacement be made?
And what is the point of these replacements?
Isn't this a bit unfair? Doesn't anyone else think so?
So, some play until they have 2 losses, while others play until they have 4?
Or does the player who comes in as a replacement have to win twice against their opponent, while the opponent only needs one win?

I'm very new here, and I want to understand the whole mechanism....

You can only join a game as a replacement in the losers' bracket.

A substitution can only be made up to a certain round, and if Vic decides to do so, he should announce until which round. I think this is a good idea; it provides an additional incentive to play games faster and not neglect the tournament.

This practically doesn't change anything and doesn't answer many of the questions asked...
Well, I answered the only question that isn't obvious from what's written above.
That is, if in the conditional fifth round, someone from the "winners" bracket suddenly drops out, then instead of him...
No, because "you can only enter as a replacement in the losers bracket." If a winner drops out, they get a tech loss, fall into the losers bracket, and pass their slot to the player entering as a replacement.
...a player who dropped out in the conditional first round will suddenly appear???
No, because "the advantage is with those who have advanced further."
Or will the second chance go to the one who dropped out in the fourth round, since he advanced further (based on what is written above)?
Yes. Only there it will rather be someone who dropped out in the 6th or 7th round (having played them in advance).
Or is there a difference between "withdrawal and disqualification" and the fact that a dozen participants dropped out in the first round... So, they didn't withdraw or get disqualified, and no replacement is needed for them?
The difference is that "since the initial confusion is over, we will start playing more organized from the 2nd round," that is, all of the above starts working from the 2nd round. If you transfer the places of all the missing newcomers, then the first dropout from the tournament will happen very soon...
And what is the point of these replacements in general?
Fewer technical results in the bracket, more game results. And also, an incentive to independently find opponents for the next rounds, relieving some of the burden from the organizer.
This isn't entirely fair, doesn't anyone think so?
That is, some play until 2 losses, and others until 4?
Players who enter as replacements play until 3 losses, because "you can only enter as a replacement in the losers bracket." In my opinion, the extra "life" fully corresponds to the benefit to the tournament from playing matches early.
Or does the one who enters as a replacement have to win twice against his opponent, while the opponent only needs one win?
No, he plays as usual.
You can only enter as a replacement until a certain round, and if Vic decided to do so, he should announce until which round.
You can enter as a replacement at any time, as long as there are free slots. Closer to the final, players usually don't drop out.

I didn't think I would lose with such a strong army; 25 Titans at the beginning of the second month seemed invincible. But my opponent's heroes were more agile. I simply lacked speed – with two damage dealers, boots, and gauntlets, but without logistics and stables, I couldn't reach the strategic castles, and spending the night in the field was not an option. As a result, I lost strategically, giving up the key Barbarian castle. The finale became a formality with Maretti having the Sniper Bow, Orb, and Obsidius. Although there could have been other options – if I had put a cloak on to block 1st or 2nd level magic. As usual, I realized it after the game.

Thanks for the game.

PS And I'm tired of the double-click with the mouse instead of a single click – has anyone else encountered this, and how can I fix it? The problem is not with the mechanics – it's something systemic.

On 111 I took a scout tower, lit a teapot for 20-49 dendroids. Among the objects were 2 crypts and 1 mausoleum. I took Kyrre; 2 crypts gave Earth magic at level 2. On 112 I took the mausoleum with gray Grands and Boots of Speed for spirits. Earth Magic immediately became Expert. I built a guild, found oil. On 115 I break toward the main base, run through a well, and attack the dendroids. There turned out to be 48 of them; with 14 Grands I was just barely short of arrows, lost a couple of pegasus units. Since I spent all my mana, I turn back to the well, and the next day I replenish mana with the teapot. I take a Pandora's Box for 55 gray bulls, 15k gold, which is pretty good on 116. On 117 I stop before the grizzly bears. On 121 I bring reinforcements, kill 14 grizzlies, take a Pandora's Box for 15k experience and a Zephyr's Shawl; along the way I got lucky with another well and a scout tower. 122: Griffin Conservatory maxed without losses and a Black Market, where I buy Gloves. 123: I kill the opponent with Castle, build a Stable, run with 4300. I break into the main base and run to the treasure zone. 124: I took the Scarlet Tower, scouted further, found another scout tower, saw a Book of Earth behind Manticores. At this moment the opponent places the Grail in Tower, runs out and kills my scout hero. 126: I'm on a roll with 4500 movement points, cut down almost the entire army from the Masthouse; they buy peace. I reach the Tower with the Grail; the opponent surrenders.
I mixed up the colors; is it possible to change somehow.
As for the first round, is there still time or am I late? The report button wasn't working...

On D1D1 I took a scouting tower, lit the mana flask with 20-49 dendroids; from objects there were 2 crypts and 1 necropolis. I took Kyrre, 2 crypts gave Earth Magic at level 2. On D1D2 I took the necropolis with upgraded Grand Elves and Boots of Speed behind the ghosts. Earth Magic was immediately Experted. Built a guild, found Oil. On D1D5 I split off to the main, run through the well and attack the dendroids. There turned out to be 48 of them with 14 Grand Elves, I was just a tiny bit short of shots, gave away a couple of pegasi. Since I used all my mana, I turn back to the well and the next day replenish mana with the flask. I take a Pandora's box for 55 upgraded Behemoths, 15k gold. That's quite good on D1D6. On D1D7 I stand before Azure Dragons. On D2D1 I bring growth, kill 14 Azure Dragons, take a Pandora's box for 15k experience and a Spirit of Oppression; on the way I got lucky with another well and a scouting tower. D2D2 max Griffin Conservatory without losses and a Black Market, I buy Gauntlets there. D2D3 I kill the computer faction with Castle, build a Stable, run 4300. I split off to the main and run to the treasure zone. D2D4 I took the Scarlet Tower, scouted further, found another scouting tower, see the Book of Earth Magic behind Manticores. My opponent at that moment places the Grail in the Tower, runs out, kills my scout hero. D2D6 I'm on the run with 4500 movement points, I cut down almost all the army from the mustering camp, he buys them back, I run to the Tower with the Grail, opponent surrenders.
I mixed up the colors, is there a way to change it?

On d111 I took the scouting post and lit the dendroid guard for 20-49 dendroids. Among the objects were 2 crypts and 1 grave. I took Kyrre, the 2 crypts gave Earth Magic level 2. On d112 I took the grave with Grail Grands and Boots of Speed for spirits. Earth Magic was experted immediately. I built the guild and found oil. On d115 I split off to the main area, ran through a well and attacked the dendroids. There were 48 of them with 14 Grands; I was just barely short of arrows, I sacrificed a couple of pegasi. Since I spent all my mana, I turned back to the well and the next day I replenished mana with the dendroid guard. I took a Pandora's Box for 55 Grail Bulls, 15k gold. That's quite good for d116. On d117 I end up in front of the Polar Bears. On d121 I bring up growth, kill 14 Polar Bears, take a Pandora's Box for 15k experience and a Zephyr's Shawl. On the way I was lucky to find another well and a scouting post. D122 Griffin Conservatory maxed out without losses and a Black Market; I buy the Haste Gauntlets there. D123 I kill the AI with Castle, build a stable, run at 4300 mobility. I split off to the main area and run to the treasure zone. D124 I took the Scarlet Tower, scouted further, found another scouting post, and saw the Book of Earth behind Mantises. At that moment my opponent places the Grail in the Tower, runs out, and kills my scout hero. D126 I'm boosted to 4500 movement points, cut off almost the entire army at the Mustering Ground, buys them off, I reach the Tower with the Grail, the opponent surrenders.
I mixed up my colors, can it be changed somehow.
Regarding the first round, is there still time or am I late, the report button wasn't working...
it happened, I confirm.
a few games were played before that moment with Horror, very interesting games came out, so I suggested he sign up for this tournament, offering to play the qualifier. By that time my report button also wasn't working, i.e., it wasn't there at all.
regarding this specific game, I played poorly on tempo, around d113 I scouted the headband of 5 5th-level spells behind a horde of Gnoll Nix. To be honest, I had nothing to take it early, I took 3-4 Zephyr's Shawls, no Dragon Fly Hive or Griffin Conservatory, I captured the AI Castle at the start of month 2, all the money was going into building Angels and searching for the Grail. When I took the Grail, I immediately captured the Tower and was planning to make Titans. Glancing towards my opponent, I notice a free KZ and 4 or 5 utopias, and there too a scout hero with strength. I attack the scout hero thinking he can't buy off, in the tavern by gold I'm 1st (with 12k), then a couple of AIs, then the opponent, but he has enough to buy off. I thought about Kyrre's movement points, but I didn't suspect Geppetto's Boots :smile50: he reached both the hero and the castle, total failure. gg
p.s. at the discretion of the tournament judge, I'd like this player to ultimately take part in the tournament.

Not a bad amount of resources on the respawn, and I picked up my companion at the end of the week. I couldn't break through to my corner treasure, as it was blocked by 20-49-level Ifrits, but I did find a +1 ring and a +2 speed cloak there. I only made it to the center on turn 131, but the entrance was blocked by 70 monks with a group stack. At the beginning of week 3, my opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.
