Here is preliminary plan of tournament:
http://www.heroesleague.ru/tournaments/age4.html
The rules of the on-line round

(http://www.zone.ee/homm4/eng) (or Winds of War as a second option)
3. Every team consists of 3 players. (The list of players must be submitted to the **Council by the Team-captains before the tour starts.) Every player will fight one of the players from opposing teams on-line. So, if there will be 3 teams - each player will play 2 games.
4. Every game has a limit of 2 weeks. The deadline is set, after which the game is considered not held, and no points are adjudged.
5. Recommended game difficulty - Advanced (3-rd), time limit - 4 minutes, stationary guards. Both players can agree on any other settings.
6. Rules limitations:

6.2. Using any bugs of the game, even not intentionally, is prohibited. If you are unsure if some specific action uses some bug, you should ask the **Council. Using game bugs is punished by loss of the tournament.

Heart of Winter
Plains of Despair
Shallow by the Game
If These Walls Could Talk
Circle of Life
Boring's Mountain
9. The map is chosen by subsequent removal of maps from the list by players - one after another. The player, which chooses the map (removes second last map, so there is only one left), has the right to choose starting alignment.
10. Alignment choice. Prior to choosing alignment, each player can ban one of the alignments, if he (she) wishes to do so. After that neither player nor his opponent can choose this alignment. After this optional alignment ban the player who chose the map has to choose his alignment first. He (she) also chooses the starting position. His (her) opponent gets the right to make the first move (will be the host) and to choose his (her) alignment the latter. He (she) can choose the same alignment, as the opponent has.
11. Every game has it's time limit - the 2-nd month, 3-rd week, 7-th day. If the game is not finished by this time - by the end of this day the player must leave only 1 army - the rest of the armies must be in towns, mines, garrisons, etc. This save must be sent to the **Council before the deadline. **The Council will create the save of arena with 2 armies - exact copies of players' armies. Players fight this final battle and the winner wins the game.
12. Long battles with neutrals are prohibited. If there are more than 10 minutes delays, the player can complain to the council.
12.1. Examples of long battles: 1 sprite fights 100 zombies, or level 2 Necromancer with Poison and Fatigue fights 20 Behemoths. These battles can be won easily, but they are too much time consuming.
ATTN: the rule does not apply to the battles between players.
13. In battles between players there can be stalemate situation. Example - one player has 10 imps, the other has 100 Ogre-Mages. Imps can fly over the battlefield and Ogre-Mages have no chance to catch them up. In such situations the attacker must flee or surrender. If Shackles of War artefact is present - the battle must be finished in autocombat mode.
14. If the connection is broken for some reason (unstable connection, hangup of the game) - game must be restarted from autosave and player must make the same moves and actions he (she) did before hangup, even in battles, if possible.

Every game of this round has a limit of 2 weeks. The deadline is set, after which the players save is not considered.

If a player/team gets a suspicion that his/their rivals have used cheat-codes, bugs, savings’ cracks during passing the map the captain must inform the **Council. The **Council must check this player’s map passing, asking him for daily savings and description of his actions.
9. The final army of the team is formed out of each team participant’s armies.

Referee's work in on-line tour is just waiting for complaints. And only if player make complaints against another player, we'll must examine the game.
Tour of finish the game as fast as possible need more attention to players save. We must check this save for cheating and possibility passing. Players must do save every day and if we'll want to look this every days save, they must send it to us. In tour of team's arenas our behavior is the same.
I hope it's smaller clear - what is referee's work.
Thanks for your answers,
Now, I understand more the referee's job, and I think i'm skilled to do this work!
Now, I have new questions! is there a referee team forecasted? Where can we see the laws of the tournament? Do you think all the played maps must be in english?
Thats all for the moment.
P.S.: Sorry, but ArchangelCastle team will be the best.....very sorry for you.......mouahahahahah
P.P.S.: nononono, a referee MUST be impartial.......ArchangelCastle team will be the best...maybe!

The international tournament has the following aims:
1. To let the participants meet and get to know each other, to reinforce the connections in the World of Heroes.
2. To let the participants of the tournament learn about the rules and ways of competitions accepted in different countries and on different websites dedicated to the game uniting us all. This contributes to better understanding of peculiarities of the rules which are practically impossible to grasp simply visiting the site because of the language barrier. Better understanding of types of game and competitions will promote mutual extension of our audience, appearance of the ?new blood? in the local audiences, and thus increase the interest towards the game and sharpen the tournament itself;
3. It is undisputable that online HoMM competitions are the reason the game have won the hearts of millions all over the world. But not all the HoMM players have the opportunity to play via internet or gather in one spot to play on LAN. The reasons for this are banal ? absence of free time (3-6 hours for a game), quality and cost of connection. Online tournaments (ToH and others) hardly comprise a quarter of the huge audience of gamers. Our task is to engage in the tournaments those who have no chance to play online.
4. Such factors as 3DO?s bankruptcy and general decline of interest towards Heroes throughout the world make us think about the future of the game. Our tournament should encourage Ubisoft, show it that the game is still in demand indeed.
5. It is high time for us to find common grounds in such issues as united tournament strategy, united rating. And think about the Heroes needing an international federation of its own ? this game is far too different from the games acknowledged by WCGA.
6. Unconditional fair play.
So these are the thoughts we thought inviting players to participate in the Tournament of the Century. And it is of no importance which team will win (although the competition part of the tournament is undisputedly interesting for everyone?) ? we are dead certain that all the participants will be winners.
5 teams have confirmed their participation so far:
ArchangelCastle - AC-team
Behemoth's Lair Empire - BLE-team
HeroesLeague - HL-team
HeroesPortal - HP-team
Heroic Corner - HC-team
Types of competitions offered at the outset:
- online;
- speediest conquer of a map;
- arena battle.
This was drawn up and negotiated by three resources ? Heroes Corner (Gugolok), Heroes League and Heroes Portal. It is the realization of the clause 1 (our aims). We need the opinion of colleagues from AC and BLE ? what types of competitions they would like to add. This would be interesting for all of us. And this would mean the most unprejudiced approach towards competitions organization.
With the aim to prepare for the Tournament of the Century it is needed to create the Committee of judges and organizers which will include representatives of all the participating teams. This will let us make both preparation and conduct of the Tournament more transparent. Quite serious differences between versions of HoMM require three Committees, each coordinating regulations and rules of competitions for each version of HoMM. It is also necessary to appoint the head of each Committee, who will coordinate and organize its work. That is why I have requested 2 players from each team for each version of HoMM.
That is what we have so far:
AC-team in progress
BLE-team in progress
The following candidates have been proposed:
LEVY (levy@heroes.net.pl)
(as a captain of Behemoth's Lair Empire (BLE) team)
Mr.Pool... (mrpool@heroes.net.pl)
(as a trainer of Behemoth's Lair Empire (BLE) team)

We think that the tournament can start in the middle of January, 2004.
What should the Committees of judges and organizers do before the beginning?
1. Work out and accommodate the regulations of the competitions with all the parties concerned and make a calendar of competitions for each version of HoMM.
2. Stipulate the rules of competitions? conduct for each type of competition in each version of HoMM. Make these rules known to every participant and make sure the rules are understood similarly by everyone.
3. Prepare the maps and provide the players with them (in the types of competitions requiring it).
What should the Committees of judges and organizers in the run of the tournament?
1. Control the schedule of competitions.
2. Prepare saves and accept them from players in offline types of competitions. Appraise and grant saves.
3. Watch over the fair play principle. Presumption of innocence is the basis principle. That means that a judge cannot accuse or suspect a player of cheating basing on his/her own assumptions. The enquiry to check for cheating should come from a player participating in the fight. In this case the judges demand saves from the player and check them. The player whose saves have been demanded considers it to be a point of honour to cooperate the judges in checking them.
4. Sum up the results of fights and announce them.
5. Consider complaints, requests and offers of players.
Above mentioned are the basic principles of organization and conduct of the Tournament ? good for all versions of HoMM. In the future I offer to separately consider regulations, rules, maps, etc. for each version of HoMM.
Sincerely yours,
Chairman of the Coordinating Committee HeroesLeague
Alexander Vinogradov aka Horn
1. To let the participants meet and get to know each other, to reinforce the connections in the World of Heroes.
2. To let the participants of the tournament learn about the rules and ways of competitions accepted in different countries and on different websites dedicated to the game uniting us all. This contributes to better understanding of peculiarities of the rules which are practically impossible to grasp simply visiting the site because of the language barrier. Better understanding of types of game and competitions will promote mutual extension of our audience, appearance of the ?new blood? in the local audiences, and thus increase the interest towards the game and sharpen the tournament itself;
3. It is undisputable that online HoMM competitions are the reason the game have won the hearts of millions all over the world. But not all the HoMM players have the opportunity to play via internet or gather in one spot to play on LAN. The reasons for this are banal ? absence of free time (3-6 hours for a game), quality and cost of connection. Online tournaments (ToH and others) hardly comprise a quarter of the huge audience of gamers. Our task is to engage in the tournaments those who have no chance to play online.
4. Such factors as 3DO?s bankruptcy and general decline of interest towards Heroes throughout the world make us think about the future of the game. Our tournament should encourage Ubisoft, show it that the game is still in demand indeed.
5. It is high time for us to find common grounds in such issues as united tournament strategy, united rating. And think about the Heroes needing an international federation of its own ? this game is far too different from the games acknowledged by WCGA.
6. Unconditional fair play.
So these are the thoughts we thought inviting players to participate in the Tournament of the Century. And it is of no importance which team will win (although the competition part of the tournament is undisputedly interesting for everyone?) ? we are dead certain that all the participants will be winners.
5 teams have confirmed their participation so far:
ArchangelCastle - AC-team
Behemoth's Lair Empire - BLE-team
HeroesLeague - HL-team
HeroesPortal - HP-team
Heroic Corner - HC-team
Types of competitions offered at the outset:
- online;
- speediest conquer of a map;
- arena battle.
This was drawn up and negotiated by three resources ? Heroes Corner (Gugolok), Heroes League and Heroes Portal. It is the realization of the clause 1 (our aims). We need the opinion of colleagues from AC and BLE ? what types of competitions they would like to add. This would be interesting for all of us. And this would mean the most unprejudiced approach towards competitions organization.
With the aim to prepare for the Tournament of the Century it is needed to create the Committee of judges and organizers which will include representatives of all the participating teams. This will let us make both preparation and conduct of the Tournament more transparent. Quite serious differences between versions of HoMM require three Committees, each coordinating regulations and rules of competitions for each version of HoMM. It is also necessary to appoint the head of each Committee, who will coordinate and organize its work. That is why I have requested 2 players from each team for each version of HoMM.
That is what we have so far:
AC-team in progress
BLE-team in progress
The following candidates have been proposed:
LEVY (levy@heroes.net.pl)
(as a captain of Behemoth's Lair Empire (BLE) team)
Mr.Pool... (mrpool@heroes.net.pl)
(as a trainer of Behemoth's Lair Empire (BLE) team)

Heart of Winter
Plains of Despair
Shallow by the Game
If These Walls Could Talk
Circle of Life
Boring's Mountain
9. The map is chosen by subsequent removal of maps from the list by players - one after another. The player, which chooses the map (removes second last map, so there is only one left), has the right to choose starting alignment.
10. Alignment choice. Prior to choosing alignment, each player can ban one of the alignments, if he (she) wishes to do so. After than neither player nor his opponent can choose this alignment.

13. In battles between players there can be stalemate situation. Example - one player has 10 imps, the other has 100 Ogre-Mages. Imps can fly over the battlefield and Ogre-Mages have no chance to catch them up. In such situations the attacker must flee or surrender. If Shackles of War artefact is present - the battle must be finished in autocombat mode.

Why not? General leader can be Team Leader and can be Judge and Player too.Exeter писал(а): ........
Could the Team Leader be a judge too?
Of course not. 3 players in team - is a minimum! Different players can participate in each type of competition and in each tour of one competition. Captain of the team is to present a list of players for a tour of a competition. That means that in different tours of one competition different players can fight, but all of them must be included in the list presented by the captain before the tour begins. (The time limits for application submiting will be discussed by all of us in the competitions' regulations)is 3 the max number of players for on line competition? Must them be the same for all tours?
Yup.
