• RE: Better Carriers - Carrier Overhual

  It's cool but clearly too powerful if you look at the unit mass costs (8k mass carrier coming with a free 10 * (1750+1500+195+1650) mass of units + no massive aircraft energy cost). I would turn down the initial numbers even if not aiming for a well-balanced, modded game.

  Rules

  The official FAF Tournament Rules apply.
  Some of the most important of these rules are:

  1. Disconnects within 5 minutes may result in a rehost. The Tournament Director has the last say afterwards.
  2. Players will replay the same map if they draw.
  3. If the incorrect map is hosted, the correct map will be hosted and the incorrect map will not count towards the score
  4. Players who do not appear without valid reasoning will be given a warning that may result in being temporarily suspended from tournaments.
  5. If a player does not show up in Round 1, they may be replaced. For all subsequent rounds, it will be treated as a forfeit and they will be eliminated and not replaced.
  6. All participants will be allowed a 15-minute wait at the start of a tournament to show up however after this 15 minute wait the Tournament Direct has the right to disqualify you from the tournament. In the case where you will be late but do intend to arrive you need to message the Tournament Director preferably via Discord to inform them you will be late but will show up. When doing this please provide an approximate time delay until you arrive, it will then be the Tournament Directors decision whether than delay is too long or acceptable. If your team loses a member, you may find a substitution within the rank requirements.
  7. The Tournament Director's decision is final.
     You can read the rest here: https://forum.faforever.com/assets/uploads/files/1685891393985-official-faf-tournament-rules.pdf
  8. Please make sure all lobbies are passworded and inform your opponents the password and casters if applicable.

  Specific Tournament Rules

  • All 4 players on a team must be within a range of a combined global rating of 6600. Exact ratings as of 26/09 date will be taken.
  • No player above a global rating of 1750 may participate.

  Substitute Rules

  • A "substitute" is a person who replaces a member of a team participating in a team tournament. The substitute may only replace a single person, and the replaced member is considered withdrawn from the tournament.
  • A person may only participate as a substitute in case they were/are not already an active participant of the tournament - either organizer, participating player, a substitute, or a replaced player.
  • The replaced player, relinquishes any and all prize eligibility to the substitute but only once the substitute has won at least 1 series.

  What happens on the day of the tournament?

  As it might be your first tournament, I think it would be best to guide you through what typically happens on the day of the tournament.

  To start, you will need to be able to communicate with the tournament director, the two places you will need to be in are:

  • The Tournament website, open the link and go to the "chat" tab, here you can chat with your opponents and Tournament Director
  • The Challengers Cup III channel in the FAF Discord. To find it, scroll down to the "Tournament Directors" category, and press the tournament page, and find the tournament that says "Challengers Cup III".
    This is an especially important part of participating in a tournament, as the tournament director will give you instructions on who you will be playing, any notices and be able to answer any questions you may have.

  From here onwards, check the bracket, find your opponent and await approval of the tournament director to start hosting you games.

  When hosting the games, please give it the appropriate title, for example, CCIII R1 G1 Team_hybrid vs Team_Strydxr. Make sure you double check, hell even triple check that all the settings are correct. If you have played with the wrong settings, you may need to replay the game, even if you have already played it as it will not count towards the match. You can find the Lobby settings on the tournament website - https://tournaments.doodlepros.com/t/d536bc6922 .

  After each game, make sure you report the current scoreline to the tournament director.

  2026 Fall Invitational Swiss Stage

  Hi all, the qualifier has concluded and now we're left with the main part of the tournament.

  Some invites were not accepted so we are going to work our way down the 1v1 ladder ratings until we fill the remaining two slots.

  Hopefully if the invites are accepted in good time, there might be a big enough window to allow the top 8 seeds to be able to pick their opponent. If there is not, we fill figure out an alternative.

  Mappool is released on the website.
