"only XL-2"

Greetings to all fans of "XL" templates! This tournament is just for you:smile20:

I. Rules and Templates.

1. The rules are standard. The tournament will be held using the SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD-mod version of the game.
2. XL templates: 8mm6a, 8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider.
3. Template selection is standard; Red starts first, with Blue making the final choice.
4. Castle selection is done by poll in a standard manner; Blue starts first. After restart, the color does not change (by mutual agreement, Random can be chosen, with resource selection and color swap).
5. Total number of restarts (113), i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast
8. The time for one game is 2 weeks

II. Regulations

Stage 1 – Group Stage

16 groups of 6 players each. Two players from each group advance to the next stage, based on the highest score.
In case of equal scores, places are determined according to additional criteria (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. Points scored in a game "weigh" more than technical defeats.
4. If it is impossible to determine who advances to the playoffs based on previous criteria, players will be offered a scheme for tiebreaker games. At this time, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that arises in the groups at the end of the stage.

Round 1: February 14 - February 27
Round 2: February 28 - March 13
Deadline for 2 games: March 15
Round 3: March 14 - March 27
Round 4: March 28 - April 10
Deadline for 4 games: April 12
Round 5: April 11 - April 24
Deadline for 5 games: April 26
RESERVE, voting for the playoff bracket: April 25 - April 28
Playoff draw: April 27 - April 28
Vacation: April 29 - May 8, CIS-2015

Attention!!! Failure to play the required number of games (report the played games) by the deadline results in disqualification, except for vacation or valid reasons, provided that you inform the organizers about the reason in advance.

In the group stage, each player can take a two-week break; notify the tournament organizers in advance (before the start of the round), with the obligation to play the games before the next deadline.

Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0; draw – 1 point (counted at Stage 211+ at the discretion of the organizers)

Players who have already advanced to the playoffs should send me two answers to the question in ICQ:
1. Template selection
a) Template selection is done in a standard manner.
b) Random template selection (specify preferences: coin toss once for template selection or every time after restart).
1. Castle Selection
a) Castle selection is done in a standard manner.
b) Castles are selected randomly, with color change after restart.
P.S. Please do not just write "1a 2b," but provide a complete answer. All voting results will be posted on the forum..

Stage 2 – Olympic Tournament

32 players, random distribution, 1st place and 2nd from the groups.
Changes to the rules based on the voting results:Random castle selection, with bonus selection and color swap.

Round 1 1/16 May 9 - May 22
Round 2 1/8 May 23 - June 5
Round 3 1/4 June 6 - June 19
Round 4 1/2 June 20 - July 3
Round 5 FINAL up to 2 wins July 4 - July 31; August 14

III. Organizational Issues

1. The tournament starts on February 13, 2015 (processing of the poll for castle selection, determination of the final regulations of the tournament, draw of groups)
2. The tournament is official
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments
4. Tournament host, organizational issues – Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983), Nitro (ICQ 627769385) – organizational issues.
5. Tournament judge – Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal under their avatar.

Isn't this a tech loss for someone who lost their password?

It wasn't lost; it wasn't provided on time... And I warned about the deadlines and the consequences in advance; in this case, both are to blame.
P.S. Awarding this was my last hope that the players would somehow manage to improve their performance... but alas... they didn't make an effort...
I'm more concerned about the outcome of the game.
"Sevensan-Lucky George started the match, but I haven't heard anything from the players; 0-0"
Sevensan blatantly ignored the scheduled game dates and didn't show up, but since there were no requests to schedule an ODD (Overdue Default Decision), I have no reason to assign him a tech loss, unless his conscience awakens.

What's the problem? The password is saved in the save file. It's enough to have save files from both players. The passwords will be visible when loading the game.

Since there was no single password for the player, and it's not objective for the judges to assess the situation based on streams, as a result, both players will receive a 0-0 score.

Are you serious right now? 0:0 because of a missing password? We played up to round 214. My password is always 777. Everyone knows that. Is it really that difficult to let us finish today? We are such notorious rule-breakers, and Amster can't wait because the deadline for the 1/8 round is May 5th, and we are so late and delaying the start of the next round. Excellent, excellent. Good luck to the judges in the tournament with this approach.

In short. I insist on finishing the game or awarding the win based on the save. I understand that it's a very difficult task for the organizers, because oh my god, the round is already over! But I still hope for a reasonable decision. I assume the judges have the save. My password is 777.

Just in case, I'll comment on the Mizrael-twaryna match, as according to the table, I seem to be somewhat interested in it, and I won't be able to answer the organizer's question (if one is asked) in the next few days.
I believe that 214 is a time that confirms the players' interest in the tournament. I think that in this situation, despite the untimely submission of the save/password, it is still possible to award the victory or give them a day to finish the game.

In the Twaryna vs. Mizrael match, I'm awarding the victory to Twaryna, though it wasn't a straightforward decision. I won't describe the situation in detail, as the players might want to finish the game for fun.

Let's finish the game, I'll wait, and I'm definitely not a fan of easy wins, especially since I probably won't be able to play for the next few days.

I had 1 rest left, my opponent had all rests intact, it went well, but on turn 114, my opponent resigned.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. I somehow didn't set a random option for myself, and I don't know how to fix it.

Lizard had one rest left and he played citadel on a respawn the size of a Deyja one. I got dealt an underground respawn the size of 4 Dragon Utopias with one lump of gold, a Griffin Conservatory 2 with a gr stack, and a box behind the cavalry (5-9). I broke through into both neighboring zones, but on both sides there were strong blocks. In one of the zones, I pulled 70 zombies from the box, thanks to which I took the Griffin Conservatory at the start of the 2nd, then the box behind the horses (25 Evil Eyes), and then it just went on from there. Thanks to the slow start, I accumulated over an hour of timer, which came in very handy once I had control. Thanks for the game!

The Lizard had one rest left and he played with a Citadel on a respawn the size of a Jebus one. I was dealt an underground respawn the size of 4 Dragon Utopias with one pile of gold, a Griffin Conservatory 2 with a gr stack and a box behind the Cavalry(5-9). I broke into both neighboring zones, but there were strong blocks on both sides. In one of the zones, I pulled 70 Zombies from a box, thanks to which I took the Griffin Conservatory at the start of the 2nd [week], then a box for the horses (25 Evil Eyes), and then things got rolling. Thanks to a sluggish start, I accumulated over an hour of timer, which came in very handy once I gained control of it. Thanks for the game!

The respawn itself was excellent for this template: a lvl 3 Griffin Conservatory, 2 Wolf external dwellings, 2 Goblin external dwellings, 1 Orc external dwelling. I took the Griffin Conservatory on d2 with very acceptable losses. On d4 in the treasure zone I got 12 Efreets from Pandora's Box. Then came a total scout in all possible directions. By the end of the second week, it became clear that the spawn for this template was a typical setup, because the first Dragon Fly Hive (with 4 Wyverns) was found and taken on d27. By d37 I had a whole 19 Wyverns, which is a nightmare even for MM6, let alone HoMM8. Also on d37, the first and only Dragon Utopia of the game was taken. Naturally, a mini. Naturally, with Boots of Levitation. Out of desperation, I had to take risks and try to take the Hives in the contact zone. But with full control, my opponent easily covered [them] on his turn. I watched the saves, Nitro played very solidly. Respect :). Thanks for the game!

p.s. Game duration: d37.
