Posts from According to the CIS-2017 regulations. Auto-translated

Here are the current considerations regarding the CIS Regulations - 2017.

1. The main organizer cannot be a player of the main tournament, or a co-organizer must be appointed to resolve emerging organizational issues ("Who the hell do we hold accountable?.." (c) Alexxl).
2. The competition referee cannot be a player of the main tournament.
3. Game days: May 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12. May 9 is a day off, with a centralized trip to Volgograd to the battle glory sites of Bertvolga.
4. The draw and the start of the round are announced for 10:30 local time (except for the first game day: the Opening and draw begin at 11:00). Players have an academic half-hour grace period for lateness. At the 31st minute (starting from 11:00:01 local time), a tardy player without a valid reason, i.e., a player who has not come to any agreement with their opponent, loses one restart day. After another half hour (starting from 11:30:01), another restart day is deducted. And so on. If restarts run out in this manner, the player's starting time for the game begins to be deducted. As soon as it runs out, a technical loss is recorded, and the opponent's victory is registered.
5. The mandatory round game time is from 10:30 to 22:30, with breaks for lunch (1 hour) and dinner (30 minutes). In case of a prolonged game, players finish the round in their personal time. By 10:00 of the next game day (i.e., half an hour before the start of the next round's draw), players who have not registered their game result with the Referee will be given a loss.
6. From 10:00 to 22:30, no poker, drinking, guitar gatherings, or dancing (except for the winning round's celebratory dances) are allowed in the main competition hall.
From 10:00 to 22:30, interfering with tournament participants or the work of the Organizing Committee is not permitted in the main competition hall: The competition referee and Organizers have the right to remove from the main hall any person who interferes with the conduct of the competition.
Participants who prefer to play with music or any audio accompaniment must play using headphones.
7. Games are played according to the current standard HeroesWorld rules.
8. Template pool - either we use a fixed set, or we determine it upon arrival via a simple preference vote.
9. Participants have the right to agree among themselves on any rule changes. In this case, the Referee will not consider complaints regarding the violation of personal agreements between players. By making any agreements among themselves, participants do so at their own risk.
10. Traditionally, participants representing the same entity from any CIS country have the right not to play against each other in the first round.
11. Refusal to continue a game and acknowledging defeat must be justified and based either on objective data of the specific game situation, or on the impossibility of continuing the game in the tournament due to various circumstances, and consequently, a loss must be recorded in the current and subsequent rounds. In all other cases, such a capitulation cannot be considered legitimate, and the results of the game are subject to annulment. That is, both opponents are given a loss. Responsibility for compliance with this clause rests with the competition referee.

2. The competition judge cannot be a player in the main tournament. Who will choose the judge, and how? If no one wants to be a judge, what will happen?

Who will choose him and how? What if no one wants to be a judge?

Random selection among the viewers. Only for hardcore players.
I would strongly support Kostya Knysh as a Judge.

But seriously - we will find a solution. Over the past years, the judge's role has mainly involved providing updates on the current game situation on the forum, rather than maintaining game discipline.
The only problem is that in the mornings, I have to search for everyone and wake them up - but this year, it's time to stop chasing after the "Sladyshi"...

Who will choose him, and how? What if no one wants to be a judge?

Obviously, Merlin will be the judge :smile02:

Obviously, Merlin will be the judge :smile02:

He even started playing again; he probably wants to remember "how the turns go, how the cards are dealt" so he can judge fairly if needed.

Is AlexXL participating in the tournament himself? Maybe he could also be a judge. It seems like he's a worthy person and well-respected.

Believe me, he'll have enough on his plate as it is.

He even started playing again...

Who started playing? Me? Maybe in poker...

Just what we need... I can only judge poker competitions.

Stay calm, just stay calm)))
We have a candidate for the judge position; he's an authoritative and experienced person.

And, as Kostya rightly pointed out, I'll have so many organizational issues to deal with at this event that I need to sort them out first)))

Could it be that Lord Maynaka has been unearthed? :smile13:

Come and see for yourself!)))
