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:

Started without any rests. Why rest when Gunnar arrived, and the distance was good, plus the roads seemed decent? On day 1, I defeated two AI opponents – Inferno and Swamp. Before reaching the castle, there was a blockade of Sultan-Ifrits, which was impossible to break through. Soon, I found boots and two stacks of powerful creatures. In the first two weeks, I captured a tier 3 town and got the boots along with a dwelling. Gunnar was leveling up well – Earth and Attack skills. I sent the third Hero to the central treasure. One of them had Pit Hags with 100+ hit points. I took a couple more dwellings from the poor treasure through the Swamp, upgraded a creature to tier 4, and started preparing for the Grand Order on day 124. On day 125, I stormed the treasure with 30 Ducks and 7 Angels, capturing Utopia (tier 1 town) and a worthless town (it didn't give me anything except money). The opponent with air control on the Moon took my Swamp and a town in the treasure area on day 126, but couldn't reach my main town and stopped a couple of moves away from the castle. The opponent's army consisted of 500 Skeletons, a few Pegasus (tier 1), and 6 Angels, 22 Grand Griffins. This confused me, so I turned around and defeated Gunnar, doubling his mana. I started using trickery with Imps, killing the Pegasus units one by one. In the end, I killed all the Pegasus, leaving three stacks. I attacked with Gunnar, 36 Ducks, 7 Angels, 80 mana, and tier 1 Fairies. With the help of an artifact that provides +1 speed and a slow spell, I quickly eliminated 300 Skeletons and trapped the Angels. The opponent cast Mass Haste, but it didn't help. Thanks for the game!

I'm writing this report at the request of the organizer. As far as I can tell, the save file showed a roughly equal position for both players. My opponent was unable (or unwilling) to continue.
Thank you for the game.

On the very first day, I scouted the cap and +3 all behind easy guards (both hydras). In the nearest treasure zone there are a couple of Dragon Utopias and I see a fast path to the computer dungeon. On the first [week], I didn't take a single village; money is tight, but it was enough to convert from small caches and upgrade 300+ skeletons. + took a cache of firebirds.

On 121, I take both relics and run to the dungeon to double mana. Tant has earth, air, and logia. On 122, I reached the computer and got 160 mana. Then a jump to the Dragon Utopia and shield + 12. The max Dragon Utopia on 124 was conquered by spending 100 mana. They gave me a teapot КО and КВ. Stats are around 10 24 16 16. There was enough mana and moves to jump out of the treasure zone and buy back in the main town. Earth and air became expert; I finally figured out how to get to the opp. I planned to take the second Dragon Utopia near the main, but the opp stopped within reach near the dungeon, taking the Dragon Utopia that was 3rd on my plan. The opp has no Кш, I have a huge mana advantage: 160 against 19. Tamika's combat stats are lower, but she has exp. off and def. I only have advanced off. I attack Tamika; she kills all the birds and buys her way out. I seriously doubted my decision not to hit with magic immediately... But Tamika came back on angels to be a bit cunning again while replenishing mana. I managed to kill her with Armageddon. Thanks for the game!

It's not working, it's not working for me on Noste
To all limits.
Kashchei warmed themselves by the GO,
Kashchei warmed themselves.

Like summer swarms of midges
Fly to the flame,
Blocks of all kinds gathered
Around the road frame.

And the tower-comp attacked from the corner,
But in the heat of temptation,
He played the most important match like a crab -
Absurdly

And two slippers fell
With a thud on the floor
And the sweat and tears of a novice
Were dripping on the keyboard.

For a quick exit to the center, by me,
Shadows fell,
Loss of troops, an incorrect skill -
A clash of tempos.

Kir from another world watched,
At the mighty respawn,
He saw how the cherry tree blossomed,
The clouds disappeared,
The stream gurgled and the reeds sang,
The birds were circling,
Only at the GO, like in a terrible dream...
Kashchei warmed themselves.

Opponent took all the rests and we started playing. The stable gave out, along with a pick of the Horn of the Abyss and good, short paths to the computers. On 112 I took Conflux and decided to play through birds; in general, by 116 I managed to kill all the computers, but things didn't work out there — from the start, Ufrik, blocks + brutal computers.
Thank you for the game!
