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:

It's pointless to calculate truncated coefficients or anything else when your opponent has withdrawn; you will still lose in comparisons (as a rule).
In a Swiss-system tournament, a player who withdraws awards their opponents 0.5 Buchholz points for each unscheduled match.

Another drawback was that, after those results and due to the eliminations, the players who advanced didn't spend as much on castles, so to speak. That is, they were credited with those wins, and the castle is considered as if they had chosen Inferno or Tower, even though in a real game, it's not certain that they would actually play with those. There was a tournament where they predetermined who would play with which castle against whom, but it wasn't a Swiss system.

Thank you for the tournament; it was interesting. Congratulations to the finalists!!! (Although, of course, some are unhappy with the tournament system, etc., but in the list of those who made it to the final bracket, there are no weak players in my opinion! So everything is fine :)

they gave up, the surface was cleared with a bunch of liches, but there weren't enough skeletons, I managed to get to a hundred in 3 days, and there was somewhere to run. I grabbed the land, but Necropolis didn't want to level up. My opponent had a good setup, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.
thanks for the game

The tournament turned out to be very interesting, and the selection of castles was great. We look forward to something similar in the future! Thanks to all the organizers and participants who made it to the end!

08/21/2015 Joker2k (Red, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius) draw KobRa_RR (Blue, Fortress, Kair, Kair) 6lm10a 215

Just a typical arranged match.

Actually, it wasn't a "typical arranged match" at all. Joker took Utopia with 125 units and started building everything under 25, with 500+ skeletons and a lot of other powerful units. I barely managed to take Utopia from under his nose with 131 units on the Quick Battle map and ran into the underground (or rather, into the snow). Then I pressured him and was preparing to overwhelm him, but the opponent also got a powerful draw... In short, I would have won in 3-4 weeks (if I hadn't made any mistakes on the ticking timer...), but since the match didn't have any decisive tournament significance for either of us, we decided not to torture each other and postponed it to a future battle).

Got strong treasury but awful roads. Took max uthopia at 132, while opponent took control over the whole map. I made a couple of mistakes, and surrendered.
Thanks for playing!
运气所致!

We started playing almost after all the rests and the rest after the encounter; in the final deal there were 3 stacks, an external dwelling Eye, the problem was that the only road, as usual, led to a one-way exit, but it was compensated by nearby boots lying beyond the zombies. In the end, after running a little through snow and rocks, I got onto the road, then through back roads I somehow reached the block of one road and that same one-way entrance, propped it up from my side and jumped without looking. There, in the distance, I found a Griffin Conservatory, took a double with delivery of 30 eyes and 60 trogs on 123 (long delivery). Shakti with Earth Defense was very good, and here I miscalculated by a couple of moves and failed to return the army to the miner in the new zone, leaving harpies on the gr, of course the opponent was right there; lucky that there were no troops or anything there, he attacked with single magi, a bone dragon, and some other junk, casting magic at my scout hero, but thanks to anti-morals I didn't let him escape. Surrender follows; the reveal showed there was hardly any chance. Thanks for the game.
thx for game
