Reasons for which a player is excluded from the tournament:
- failure to comply with the regulations and rules of this tournament;
- violation of tournament deadlines without prior notification of the tournament judge;
- fact of violating prohibitions in this tournament;
- rudeness, public insult of the organizer, judge, and participants of the tournament.
Replacement of tournament participants for those who have dropped out is possible. The result of the dropped participant is passed as "inheritance" to the newly joined participant.

1. Games are played on the latest official version of the game. Currently – HoMM V: Tribes of the East 3.1, the Tournament Edition mod is used in this tournament. By default, the game is played on the Ubi server. By agreement, the game can be played via Hamachi, Remobo, COMODO EasyVPN, GameRanger and similar programs.

2. Since there is an autosave in the game - it is recommended to save once every 3 days.

3. THE TOURNAMENT IS HELD IN A ROUND-ROBIN FORMAT. Each participant plays everyone else once. One week + 4 days are given per turn.
TEMPLATE SELECTION IS CARRIED OUT BY THE SAME ACCORDING TO THE SCHEME 1-1-...1 FROM THE FULL LIST, starting with the blue player. Template list - crown, letos, m3, mask, labyrinth, rainbow, spider, sun.
FACTION SELECTION IS MADE BY THE PLAYER DURING REGISTRATION FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. That is, a player who chose one specific faction during registration must play only with this faction throughout the tournament.
Players determine colors independently; if difficulties arise in choosing a color, you must contact the judge.
It is possible to play ahead for the entire tournament provided that opponents are available.

4. Use of any bugs, undocumented features, cheat codes, as well as unofficial programs and modifications, except for the TE mod itself (and programs creating virtual networks), is prohibited.

5. In case of connection loss or game crash, the last autosave of the game is loaded; players are obliged to exactly repeat all their moves up to the moment of connection loss or game crash. In case of connection loss or crash on the first day of the game, heroes are randomly assigned again.

6. In case of battles between players, a stalemate situation may arise (when neither player can win). In this situation, the attacking side must retreat or surrender (at their discretion). If the Shackles of War artifact is involved in the battle, then if a stalemate occurs, the battle should be finished in AutoCombat mode.

7. Each player has the right to 3 restarts with map regeneration no later than the third day (the end of the day is considered as pressing the turn transfer button, regardless of whether the opponent has completed their current turn or not); after a restart, the template is set back to the one that was determined before the restart. If a restart is taken on 1-1-1, then the player has 2 restart days for the next map (meaning they can take another 2 restarts on 1-1-1, or 1 restart on 1-1-2). If a restart is taken on 1-1-2, then the player has 1 restart day for the next map (meaning they can take 1 more restart on 1-1-1). If a restart is taken on 1-1-3, then the player has no restart days for the next map.

Simultaneous turn disconnection or desync in week 1 - technical restart (except cases where both players are ready to continue the game)
Simultaneous turn disconnection or desync in week 2 and later - the game continues (except cases where both players are ready to start the game over)

8. "Red-rush" is prohibited, meaning an attack by red on the first day of the week with purchased growth (the red player may attack on the first day, but without purchasing growth).

9. Joining neutrals is prohibited. As an exception, joined units can be taken to be sacrificed in a pit or sold at the market, but not put into battle.
Goblins who joined the army after "Betrayal" triggers may remain in the army.

10. It is prohibited to use the travel spell "Astral Gates" to jump from any zone into the opponent's starting zone if the portal/garrison connecting them has not been broken. It is also prohibited to use the travel spell "Astral Gates" to jump into the opponent's adjacent zone and enter the opponent's starting zone in the same turn.

11. Pressing wait on Krag's first hit in battles with opponent heroes is prohibited; it is allowed against neutrals.

12. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw.
Reports and logs are written in the thread Reports and logs of TOURNAMENT "Favorites, to Battle - 2!"

13. When determining the player's position in the tournament table in case of equal points, the following criteria apply:
- Berger coefficient;
- result of personal encounter;
- number of wins;
- number of draws;
- number of losses;
- draw (lottery).

14. Attention! LOADS ARE PROHIBITED in this tournament!!
Exception: a mutual agreement on the number of loads has been reached by both players. If, despite the agreed number of loads, players have disagreements about the outcome of the game (win/loss) due to loads, the tournament judge reserves the right to decide the outcome of the game.

There are no rewards, so there’s no point in playing…

Playing as Dwarves. ICQ 644980173, available daily by arrangement. "Players determine the color themselves; if there are difficulties in choosing a color, they should contact the judge." Kirill, this is an unhealthy approach, in my opinion – it's better to draw lots for the right to choose a color in the table.

I think it would be more appropriate to call this tournament “Favorites Go Battle! – 2,” since there was already a first one. At the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008, this tournament took place across all versions of the game, but it really gained traction only in the third and fifth installments (or so), and then it became a tradition specifically for the third installment. /topic/3830/
