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:

We took the rematch and started playing. We handed out the chocolate... on day 123, the Miner was level 16 with Expert Earth and Air! With 4 Angels, 50 Evil Eyes, and most importantly, a level 5 Haste spell! On day 124, I double my mana (180) and line up for a speed boost under GO. The opponent tried to counter, but couldn't handle the Cavaliers.
Thanks for the game!

We took an RP (respawn/restart) for the meeting and played. Handed out chocolates... on 123 the Shooter was level 16 with expert Earth and Air! With 4 Angels, 50 Evil Eyes, and most importantly, a level 5 hat! On 124 I double mana (180) and start to rampage under ГО. The opponent decided to counter, but couldn't handle the cavalry.
Thanks for the game!

I took a rest, then my opponent chose their side, and we started playing. I had nothing interesting on the first day, only Gunnar got a speed boost from the stable, while my opponent scouted 4 heroes and I saw three of them in the tavern. In principle, if they had scouted Luna, they would have taken 111, but I only saw Luna at the end of the week. On 112, I saw a sword +5 all behind bears and several Dragon Fly Hives, so I decided to play.
On the first week, the birds were captured effortlessly, I cleared a dungeon, and took 4 villages.

121, I start again from the stable, then over a couple of days I collect 4 Dragon Fly Hives and with 24 Wyverns kill the Fire Birds for a shield +12 and Spirit of Apathy. I gave away all the Earth, Water, and Air elementals. Then I break through the bears for the sword +5 all, losing a bird and a couple of ducks. Meanwhile, north of my respawn, the opponent took my village, to which I had no road. There are two Pandora's Boxes there, one with 50+ Ogre Mages and another with 100+ regular Ogres. The opponent scouts them from a lookout tower and prepares to take them with Luna, but on 125, Gunnar, through an external tavern, collects both Pandora's Boxes and drives Luna away. Her magic stats are 14 14, but she had nothing stronger than the Arrow spell. There's a lot of experience in the Pandora's Boxes.

Meanwhile, an enemy scout on a bird burst into the dungeon's respawn and saw a Dragon Utopia from my lookout. I had seen it since the first week, but had no idea how to reach it, whereas my opponent took it immediately. However, Gunnar on 127 pulled all of the 4th level creatures from the Pandora's Box.

Then began a chase of DD vs TP. I took the Mini Utopia; there was nothing interesting there, and I didn't see any other utopias in this game after that. By the end of the third week, only one undisturbed treasure zone remained, where Luna and Gunnar arrived simultaneously.

141, Gunnar was already waiting for Luna at its exit. Dabbled mana, bought out the growth, and attacked. Superiority in army strength, mana, and magic, shackles of war, GG WP. Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.
Bad road junctions + sadness over tasty bits decided the outcome.
Across the whole diamond, 1 Dragon Utopia in the treasure zone + 1 at the opponent's respawn :smile50:
Thanks for the game.

We spent all our rest points, played on a whim. We got probably the least interesting matchup. However, after playing poorly until week 1, day 15, I built 5 Angels from 2 Griffin Conservatories, made 350 Skeletons, decent stats. I retrained Animate Dead from Tant, built up 70 mana, and set up on day 1, week 1, month 7 at the speed point in front of the GO, behind which wings were immediately visible. But my opponent didn't let me have fun in the center and surrendered. Thanks for the game!
It gave me two roads and two blocks — one dead block of 70 Demons for a Pandora's Box, another block of 18 Griffin Conservatory Crossbowmen. I really didn't want to fight them on week 1, day 11, but there was nowhere else to go, so I had to waste all the growth. I took the only road to the secondary hero, scouted two Griffin Conservatories, two Troglodyte nests, and one Eye. In short, there was nothing to do. On day 1, week 1, month 4, I took the Eye and Troglodytes and went for the Demons. That gave 10 experience, the Miner leveled up with decent Logistics and Earth Magic, but no Slow from three Mage Guilds. On day 1, week 1, month 7, I took Griffin Conservatory #2, replenished mana, and stood in front of the GO, but I overestimated the strength of the Troglodytes without Shakti, and the scout hero didn't take Griffin Conservatory #2 via the chain. GG.
Thanks for the game!

I managed not to crit reasonably well with the boots, but full control didn't work out; I never found Town Portal by the end of the game. However, 2 Dimension Door was enough to counter Tanta with full control. In the end, the blues had far less meat and the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game.

I took a level 3 Griffin Conservatory on turn 123, but then suffered many losses. Against some Hydras with +2 HP, I lost 50+ Troglodytes, which was very unpleasant. However, a Pandora's Box for the entire 5th week and scouting saved the day. I managed to catch my opponent at the most opportune moment with Bracers — there was an impla [implosion?] of 1200 against my 600, but I had more mana (120 > 45).

Thanks for the game!
