Organizational matters:
1. Host - skd (ICQ 593-626-431), Judges - Sanin (ICQ 423-164-784), The_ (ICQ 241-568-808), Amiloo (ICQ 388-281-368).
2. The tournament is official, regular, and follows the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
3. The tournament schedule will not change after registration closes during the tournament.
4. All tournament games count toward the HoMM3 HW Player Rating.
5. Players who are in the SoD Player Rating are invited to the tournament.
The host has the right to refuse registration to players without a rating, players recently registered on the site, as well as players who have had disqualifications for violating tournament deadlines in other tournaments on HeroesWorld.
6. In matches not played within the set deadline, technical results will be assigned.
7. Saves and password files for all matches must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon the first request of the hosts, judges, or any member of the AC. Forgetting or losing the password for a game may serve as grounds for assigning a technical loss in the match.
8. Controversial issues, if any arise, please discuss off the forum. To resolve, contact the tournament host or judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
The judges' decision is made primarily based on the tournament rules. If the situation is not covered by the rules, the judges will rely on basic logic and gaming ethics.
Schedule
Rules.
1. Game version. The tournament uses game version SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod version 4.2 + HW_rulez 1.38 (if a newer version is released, this rule item is subject to change).
2. The tournament is conducted according to the rules of online games in Heroes 3.
3. Restarts total 2 days (111+111 or 112). After each subjective restart, players swap starting colors.
A restart of generations with identical towns is taken at the request of at least one opponent immediately after map generation (this is a technical restart at the request of any participant, no restart day is spent, no color swap occurs).
4. Starting town, hero, and bonus are random.
5. The right to choose the starting color in the first generation belongs to the player who wins the coin toss. The HW Rules "Flip a coin" option is used; the one who guesses the resulting number has the right to choose the starting color.
In BO3 games, the right to choose color passes to the other player for the second game; if a third game is necessary, a new coin toss is conducted.
6. The following templates are used in the tournament: Skirmish, 2sm2c, Balance (Size M, no Dungeon, monster strength - average, difficulty 200%, roads - slow/average).
For each stage in BO1 rounds, a template will be set according to the drawing.
In BO3 rounds - the template for the first game from the three available templates is chosen by the player who lost the coin toss for color choice; in the second game, the right to choose the template passes to the opponent, who selects a template from the two remaining templates; if a third game is necessary, it is played on the remaining template (note: the template is chosen first, after which the player selects the color for the first generation).
7. All games are played with a chess timer: 8-4-1.
Tournament format.
1. The tournament uses the Double Elimination system (loser in the upper bracket moves to the lower bracket, loser in the lower bracket leaves the tournament).
2. Early stages are BO1 matches; from the Quarterfinals of the upper bracket and the Quarterfinals of the lower bracket, matches are BO3.
3. The Grand Final of the tournament consists of BO3 series, where the winner of the upper bracket needs to win one series, and the winner of the lower bracket needs to win two series.
