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:

For the judges, and as a reminder to my opponent, I am ready to play at almost any time (except at night) until Thursday, July 9th; after that, I will be away. The game is currently close, with a score of 121. If the judges decide on an odd number of games, I am in favor.

For the judges and as a reminder to my opponent, I am ready to play at almost any time (except at night) until Thursday, July 9th; after that, I will be away. The game is progressing slowly; the score is currently 121. If the judges decide on an odd number of games, I am in favor.

It's difficult for us to coordinate with our opponent. We started this morning, played for two hours, but then I couldn't continue because my children were having a tantrum. Right now, I am available, but my opponent is not, and he is planning to play in the evening. We will try again in the evening.
We have been playing the game in the evenings, a little at a time. For now, that's how it is; my opponent plays until 11 PM and can't play any later.

Where can I find one?
Many people have withdrawn, and only a few have a truly valid reason; the rest seem to have lost their chances and don't see the point in continuing the tournament, which, in my opinion, doesn't reflect well on them. Well... in my next tournament, I'll take this into account and be more responsible when choosing participants.

Quite a tough start for me. Absolutely all the passage guards spawned as shooters, and on top of that, the computer dungeon settled in a fort with a bunch of beholders. By 113, after killing the computer, 16 magogs were left. Mariuss gets intelligence, air from the hut, and earth. After doubling mana, things get really good and I already have mass haste. I pick up 8 demons from an external dwelling and from home, and off we go to the center, or so it seemed to me :) In reality, after losing another half of the remaining magogs and 1 demon, I hit a road block and realize that this is a corner, since I found a passage to a treasure zone via off-road in another area. Money is very tight; there are only 1-5 in the citadel at home.
121 trade from 2 markets. Re-split through the vortex, again a ton of mana. Bought what I could and went to shake the hives, spotted 3 of them. Gathered 18 wyverns, upgraded pits along the way, but there was nothing left to cut, and no money anyway. With this lot — 18 ducks, 20 magogs, and 14 demons with ones and mass course — I entered console 3 as Inteus, deciding to save Marky some moves. Left 4 ducks and 3 demons there. Both centers are flux-based; I took them without a fight because Dark's road to the centers was blocked by treasure zone guards — 20+ monarchs. By the end of the week, adding wyverns up to 24 and a box of 30 fish, I went into the Dragon Utopia; luckily, there is plenty of mana, earth and air are leveled up, and even offense prod. is already there. Checking — it's max. I realize it's pain, but I really want it, so I take it on 127. I come out with 18 wyverns; 3 angels and everything else died. But they gave me the cap for all of 5th and a teapot.
131 The opponent is planning to hit monarchs with a miner. I buy up everything I can, re-split for double mana with the teapot and exp intelligence, and cover the miner in 2 DDs. Without the teapot, stats are roughly equal and Marky's SP is only 4th, though there is an earth orb, so impl is still decent — at 900. The army there is clearly better, and sensing something wrong by the amount of mana and DDs, Dark bursts in with mass haste. I use oil, then impl. In the same way, I cut everything except 23 demons; the opponent pays to retreat.
I immediately dive into Dark's treasure zone, shake hives, and rebuild my army. In the confluence of the orange computer in gm4 they gave TP. Well, basically, I ran around for another week and a half gathering an army and eating utopias. Judging by the views, the opponent stayed in his own corner. As soon as he made a move — I covered him via 2 DDs. ГГ, thanks for the game! A frustrating block, of course.

A frustrating block, of course.there was a path to the computer and into the treasure zone; there was a block to the center on the first week consisting of 48 fanatics; in the territories mentioned above I found 20 wyv and 1 angel; when I went to the center, the opp had entered 2-3 turns earlier and took the Dragon Utopia there, which as I understand gave +6 all +12 knowledge cap and he found boosters (thanks to which he won fb with his 4 sp).

P.S. also had full control, but little mana; all treasure zones I tried to eat were just pathetic!!!

I had long dreamed of playing a Jebus cross for Castle, where you just run around with everyone in the first week collecting resources, and on day 121 you come out with Archangels and sweep everything in the center. Especially since I saw it's possible, and how some people make 20+ Archangels by that time))) My opponent also chose Castle... well, okaaaaaay....

I restarted everything, and got Mullich :) Didn't get a second level. Scouting showed that the road to the secondary town and the Dragon Utopia was blocked by 20-49 gold golems behind a scroll and a Dragon Fly Hive, and the only place I could develop until the end of the week was the clearing from Castle to the second secondary town. A visible bugged passage to the swamp area looked suspicious, and it wasn't clear if I even had a Dragon Utopia:confused: Properly, this should be sent to the referees or a trusted person, but I didn't want to bother:o The respawn is small in principle, and the clearing is especially small) I had to give up the dream of Archangels, because the conflux is 0 and there are no Angel nests. What to do? Where to go? What to build? How and when to go out and through what?

There are 4 Dragon Fly Hives and right behind those gold golems on the road are two horse nests. Buildings went for horses in the fort + I built and upgraded the marksmen (22) to have something to fight with. The secondary town is Dungeon. On day 116 I checked/broke through the golems and took the horse nests. Found the secondary town and right next to it a Dragon Utopia - Castle horses. That's fine, but Mullich, of course, took Water (a feature of my heroes in the OFB) and Magic Resistance. He spawned in the wrong town once, but it's not critical))

I went out on day 122 with a stack of Grand Horses and a stack of 30+ Wyverns. Lost two Wyverns on the Dragon Utopia - that's good. My magic is worrying me, and there's no Slow. The road was blocked by 100+ Greater Scorpions:smile07: :smile07: :smile07: I went into the sand. I'm looking for approaches to the enemy Castle Rampart, but all I find are mountains, blocks of Angels, Archangels, and Grand Pegasi:smile16: I attacked 100+ Pegasi for a Dragon Fly Hive and a box - in the first round they cut down a Wyvern and a horse, but the Hive turned out to be big. The box was for experience, I think. With nothing better to do, I recaptured a gold mine in the center and freed a couple of heroes)) Found a small Dragon Utopia that gave wings with a necklace of +3 to everything)) Mullich waved goodbye to the carriers of ones and flew to the enemy Castle) I'm building the third first Mage Guild hoping to learn Slow - no, but at least I'll replenish my mana. The opponent still isn't coming, and it's already the end of the second week. The next day, with meat from the enemy Castle, I fly to another Dragon Utopia, where I leave all his forces on Liches. It's kind of scary to attack with horses and Wyverns... I returned to the enemy Castle)))))))) I think it will be day 131, and I'll attack with new meat + somehow bring reinforcements using the wings and from the Castle. Had Boots and Loins. But then I see the Blue player. I buy out a hero with fakes - for some reason this isn't a redraw according to the rules - and I attack. There are no Archangels, only 2 Angels, a good stack of Arbalester Archmagi. My Magic Resistance triggered, the opponent bought himself out. I immediately took the Fifth Level Helm. We ran around a bit more, and then came the surrender. I did finally learn Slow in the opponent's main town)

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

An interesting game it turned out to be.
After all the resets the moon came, but that's where my luck ended.
No money, ranged blockers everywhere, in short, a nightmare. On 114 I managed to take a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns, and only got out of the respawn on 116 :D
The birds, of course, were not built.
A couple of Necros came, I started slowly raising skeletons.
I killed a computer's Castle.
The roads were great, but the road network was horribly bugged.
The opponent had Gunnar glowing from day one, which was very bad.
Then the first encounter in the middle of the 2nd, I chased away the miner on Harpies. Next, I took a village, but didn't dare go for the main.
After that we split to different sides, I took a Necro with a Capitol, boosters, and horses, and before that I also found the Necromancer's Mantle. Izra was blessing me, until the moment when Luna, in the Scholar, picks up Necromancy :D. The Tower gives Flight, and in the first Dragon Utopia there's КЗ + waters, life seems to be getting better, but the next Dragon Utopias turned out to be garbage. I assembled AotD, but there's nothing for stats, and no Dimension Door either.
The 2nd month started, but no progress; in the 3rd month the Mage Guild finally gave Dimension Door. Skeletons are growing, but Gunnar's stats are growing too. Luna, even with boots + gloves, can't do anything without Logistics. Broke into a fat treasure, ate 3 Dragon Utopias, and again nothing for stats. Over 6 Dragon Utopias, only a +4 all shield and 4/4 armor :smile35:
I found a Fireball + all the fire spells in a Pandora's Box, but of course I forgot to equip it on time :D
Then Gunnar rolls over me.
His stats: 43-39-31(230) 10 Archangels 60 gr ducks 100 Marksmen 140 gr Eyes (with Golden Bow) 430 gr Troglodytes 18 Scorpicores 75 gr Griffins +2 HP

My stats: 13-10-19(170) 10 Firebirds 12 Angels 58 gr ducks 3500 Skeletons 8+7 Wizards +3 Speed +2 HP AotD

He immediately casts Mass Haste, and the Archangels don't finish off 1 bird; then AotD triggers, the Wizards cast Haste, and with the Skeletons (on which I cast Anti-Magic) I carve out the Archangels (the opponent had no Defense, and Luna had Expert Offense)
One stack of Skeletons took the retaliation from the ducks, but the Angels and my ducks barely hit.
2nd round, Armageddon flies in (this is where not having the Fireball decided things), the Skeletons don't quite finish off the ducks — about 7 remain.
Then I thought for a long time about how to kill him, but couldn't find a solution and missed the moment after which the opponent resurrected 7 Archangels and cast Anti-Magic on them. He has more mana, I understand that he'll keep spamming 130 poop stacks that will cut everything down. Skeletons under Anti-Magic can barely catch the Archangels, so I decided to kill the Eye and buy myself out with what remained.
I have 3k Skeletons and 30 ducks, he has 7 Archangels and 6 Marksmen, with a score of 100k in the foreign bank. We ran around some more; he built up a decent horde again, and then artillery, which I didn't know about, decided the game. I attack the castle after a few days and realize I have no chance at all. Even Earthquake didn't help, because as soon as the towers fire, Anti-Magic goes on the Archangels.
I didn't have another 100k, so GG.
Thanks for the game.

Well, in my next tournament, I will take this into account and be more responsible when choosing participants.

There aren't that many people, so it still needs to be reduced. And in reality, the regulations need to be improved. For example, I didn't see the point in playing out one more game after getting 1 point in the beginner category, as I knew I wouldn't qualify. But if I win an unplayed game, that's equal to 1.5 points. Why can't I compete with those who have the same number of points from those who qualified, or with those who have 2 points (with my win, it will be 2.5 points)?

Where can I get it?
It seems like many people have withdrawn, and only a few have a truly valid reason. The rest, having lost their chances, don't see the point in continuing the tournament, which, in my opinion, doesn't reflect well on them. Well... in my next tournament, I will take this into account and be more responsible when selecting participants.

Consider implementing a progressive scoring system. That is, the number of points awarded for a victory increases from round to round.

There aren't that many people, and it still needs to be reduced. But in reality, the regulations need to be refined. For example, I didn't see the point in finishing one more game after getting 1 point as a beginner, because I knew I wouldn't pass. But if I won a game, that's equal to 1.5 points, why can't I compete with those who have the same number of points from those who have completed games, or with those who have 2 points (with my win, it will be 2.5 points)?

You didn't see it, but someone from the 3 who scored the same number of points didn't automatically pass because of you, because in the game with you, they were given a tech win, which is worth less than a regular win, and they were immediately eliminated, since the other two had real wins.
