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:

Well, during the draft, I definitely wouldn't pick Theodorus. :D
Of course!!! Only Georgy Petrovich (for those in the know) :D

I don't understand, was the draw for the 2nd round already done? Why did Bishop play against Helm, and why is the old table still displayed at the top?

The draw for round 2 was a week ago; Palach organized it.
/topic/11318/
The old table – that’s my mistake; I kept forgetting to remove it.

Thanks for the game!
Gosha really dug in there; I definitely managed to resurrect him twice, and in the end, he won again, with support from Vidomina, plus stables at the castle exit, and a constant stream of units and double production. My situation was hopeless; I tried to rush with a Shaver at 500+, but he already had 700 skeletons and mass haste.

Thanks for the game.

I spent all restarts, Stracker came... But the guards were easy, Clavius leveled up normally, quickly took the village+town and another village on day 7. On that same day 7, Shakti appeared but couldn't reach my dungeon. On week 2 day 1, I bought all level 1 units everywhere, and sent them for conversion, in the dungeon I had a full buyout + Citadel. Shakti takes the village and heads to my main, Clavius reaches it... I checked the Griffin Conservatory with Isra - it was level 1, took it, transferred all my resources to Clavius and attacked. An exchange of 3 horses for 150+ Troglodytes, Shakti buys peace and on the next turn my opponent decided to surrender. Thanks for the game.

I used all my restarts, and Straker arrived... But the guards were weak, Klava was leveling up well, and I quickly took a town + company and another town on day 7. On the same day 7, Shakti appeared, but couldn't reach my dungeon. I bought 121 units of level 1 everywhere and transported them for conversion; in the dungeon, I bought everything + a citadel. Shakti takes a town and heads towards my main town; Clavius reaches him... I checked Isro's consultant – 1 unit, took it, gave all the resources to Klava, and attacked. An exchange of 3 knights for 150+ troglodytes, Shakti buys himself out, and on the next turn, the opponent decided to surrender. Thanks for the game.

I had 1 restart left, and 3 stacks + 2 hidden units arrived, along with a health ring and 2 heroes for 350 gold. The 1 road didn't bother me. Later, it turned out that it was completely bugged, and I immediately went to the Inferno computer.
The catapult couldn't break through the fort for 4 rounds!!!!
After that, I realized that there would be no joy in this game, and that's how it turned out.
I didn't guess the direction correctly and didn't make it to the restart in time, and on day 7, I had less than 100 mana, not enough to reach either the dungeon or the Tower town.
Thanks for the game.

My opponent was doing pretty well, but he messed up somehow :( In my first game, I had a good start in the Refuge and built a lumber mill in the Rampart Castle :D He played a Tank, and I used the tactics and earth magic, plus boots under the Castle. Thanks for the game!

The opponent had a good start, but then faltered. I had a good early game with a green creature in the Refuge and built a lumber mill in the Rampart. Castle with a group of woodcutters. Tank - off, tactics and earth magic + boots under the castle. Thanks for the game!

Tried fast tempo, didn't manage to execute. Thanks for the game.

I spent all my resources, because various Citadels and Swamps were being surrendered, and they started playing. The start wasn't very encouraging - my opponent has a Dungeon, and a Dimer showed up. I have Inferno, no decent heroes in sight. But a turn came, and in the tavern Luna popped up.
I got a decent amount of money, on 115 I hired Efreeti and took both gold mines with Luna - past the Air Elementals and Troglodytes. On 117 I broke into the next zone and took a box of 60 Archers by killing Minotaurs with Gogs. At the start of the second week I decided to upgrade the Efreeti, moved the army home, but due to greed (I wanted to upgrade the Gogs too, but in the end didn't have enough to hire a hero) I didn't bring them back. The next turn I prepared to ride to my opponent, I could see the edge of his secondary hero with scouting. I saw this turn how Dimer from his side broke through a zone guard, through which I was planning to go to him. However, I didn't hope to catch him - I saw a scout there, and it was clear that Luna was in view. I bring up the Efreeti, Magogs, Archers from the Castle town, and ride into contact. Luna has good stats, a good army, the only thing I fear is GM4 and Dimer. But there is no GM4, not even a good Nika (only Troglodytes). We ran around for a couple of turns, I killed a couple of scouts, took a secondary town, and a finale was shaping up, but after my scout killed a Minotaur with a shot, there was a surrender. Apparently the Minotaur was the last straw.
Thank you for the game.

Average layout, 2 Griffin Conservatories, one max in the depth of the respawn, average roads. Took Stronghold as a secondary, home castle has Citadel upgrades. At the end of week 2, took a Griffin Conservatory on week 2, an external dwelling of cavalry, built a Castle. On week 3, I take the max and then a mini Dragon Utopia, a breastplate +4 +4. Next, I go to another secondary town, pick up a sword +2 +2, look for an exit to the treasure zone. Didn't find it immediately, take 2 hives with 10 Wyverns, boots, and get wiped. Meanwhile, I saved up money for an Angel upgrade, wanted to take a long-revealed Griffin Conservatory on the secondary town, but the opponent with Flight takes it. I go to the opponent through GO, end up taking all his towns except one secondary, go to it. Meanwhile, the opponent gets on the road, I reach him on the last moves. My army is larger, stats are better too, there's an explosion of Archers to 900, I cast Mass Slow, and in the second round I take out almost everything except 14 Angels, the opponent finishes off the Archers, but then the trade is not in his favor.
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Before FB I jumped into the well without switching the blue cap to a +4 hat, so only 60 mana total, and I didn't have enough for 2 explosions.

thank you for the game!
