"King of the Hill-2" Tournament

King of the Hill is an ongoing tournament based on the "play until you are defeated" principle, where only two players can participate at a time – the loser gives up their place to the next contender, and the winner continues playing until they lose themselves. In other words, players must try to defeat the current King of the Hill and end his winning streak; the player who defeats him takes his place. The winner of the previous tournament is HellLight.

Organizational matters:
1. Tournament organizers – Nitro, skd; judge – Dirty Player.
2. The tournament starts on April 1, 2016. The deadline is April 1, 2017.
3. The tournament will be held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. All games in the tournament are played within the HoMM3 HW Player Rating system.
5. Minor adjustments to the regulations may be made during the tournament.
6. If any controversial issues arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact one of the organizers or the tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily save files, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
7. Any unjustified delays in the game, squabbles, and disrespectful behavior towards opponents will be strictly punished, up to a permanent ban from the tournament.

Requirements for participants:
1. Experienced Heroesworld players are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Players with a General rating of 1800+, as well as players included in the top-15 Tournament Ranking, have the right to register freely for the tournament (at any time from the start of registration until the start of the tournament).
3. Applications for participation from other players will be considered by the organizers and the tournament judge individually.
4. You can submit an application to participate even after the start of the tournament.

The winner of the tournament will receive:
1. An avatar award: King's crown

2. Cash prize: $200 + donation (to a bank account or Paypal) within a week after the results are announced.
Donation:

by the way, I think "Panic" is a better name than "Balance".

Here's another proposal, similar to the first tournament idea – to introduce a decreasing coefficient, but with some slight differences: 1. Initially, all players have a 100% chance of being selected (coefficient = 1). 2. A losing player is excluded from the draw for the next 5 games (this rule already exists in the regulations). 3. For each loss, the selection coefficient of the losing player decreases by 25% (i.e., it will be 0.75 after one loss) for 10 draws in which they will participate. 4. The decreasing coefficient cannot drop below 0.25. 5. For 2 wins as the "King of the Hill," the coefficient decreases by 0.25. Regarding point 5: A challenger wins a game, then wins 3 more games, and then loses = for 2 wins, the coefficient decreases by 0.25, and for the loss, it decreases by another 0.25. Thus, after 5 games of waiting, they will be included in the draw with a coefficient of 0.5. Naturally, such a system will be necessary if the number of participants is more than 20-25 people. Share your opinions and ideas on this point.

in my opinion, it's nonsense. The better you play, the lower the chance of losing; it's like saying, "he was better, but we equalized the chances with a coefficient." You should only reduce the chances for those who lose more often, and this shouldn't be reflected in the game.

I understand this concerns point 5. Perhaps it is indeed unnecessary, but we need to somehow reduce the chance of already selected players being chosen again compared to those who haven't been selected yet.

I think it's right that those who haven't played yet have a higher chance of winning than those who have already played.

I believe that wins and losses shouldn't be taken into account at all, and I suggest a system like this: The player who had the fewest appearances has a coefficient of 100%, and for the others, it is calculated using the formula 100%/(N+1), where N is how many times more they appeared.

Well, if you take into account the games from the first tournament, then why call it King of the Hill TWO.
Since it's a tournament, it means everything starts anew according to this rule, just like a season resets....

You're not reading carefully; it was about the analogy with the first tournament, not about transferring results from there.
P.s. My previous post naturally referred to the fifth point, about the series of wins and the decreasing chance of it happening. And regarding the decreasing chance of becoming a contender based on the number of times it has happened, I've been talking to Vasya about this in ICQ since it wasn't mainstream:rolleyes:
