Setons Wars Tournament

Exselsior

Random kinda completely defeats the point of the tournament, I’m very confused as to why that’s even being talked about as on option.

Even if someone assigned each person on the team a random spot that would make for more boring games, not more interesting. Having the stronger players in the carry slots gives them more options for interesting play and more eco with which to do it rather than them sitting on front getting bombed by three people.

Tournament Format
It will be a 4v4 tournament with captains. The top 8 players with the highest ratings signed up become captains. And take turns recruiting a team (the player with the lowest rating from among the captains chooses first)

This tournament aims for a maximum of 8 teams. It will be a double-elimination tournament with most rounds being BO1, except finals will be BO3. If there are less than 8 teams, then a Robin round will be held between 5 teams (each team plays every other team once). The two top teams will play the final in a BO3 format. All standard tournament rules apply (read here https://forum.faforever.com/topic/269/tournament-code-of-conduct). Settings: Full-share enabled, Unit cap - 1500, draws are replayed, games are ranked, no faction veto is used

Additional rule! No player can play 2 games in a row on the same slot. Slots must change. The control is carried out by the TD or his assistant.

If you have a desire to increase the prize pool. Contact Skrat#4810 on the official FAF Discord

@pryanichek

I can't see an official faflive event planned?

Therefore, I will cover the tournament live on my youtubes on the 9th, i'll find co-casters and grab people into discord for their thoughts on the games as usual.
