Settings
This tournament will be played with the ALLFactionsFixed mod enabled ( you need to turn on prebuild units for this mod to work )
Attention! This mod gives you 4 commanders of all factions on the spawn instead of 1. Nothing more!

Tournament Format
It will be a double-elimination tournament with most rounds being BO1 except for Semi-Final and the Final of the winners bracket as well as the Final of the losers bracket being played in a BO3 format.

All standard tournament rules apply, 1500 unit cap, players are seeded by random, no faction veto will be used. If you are late by more than 10 min you will be disqualified.

Draws are replayed. In the case of a DC, the game is replayed if it happens before minute 5. Special exceptions can be made at the discretion of the TD.

Additional rule! If less than 4 players with 2k+ rating sign up for the tournament, the tournament will only be for players with less than 2k rating (to keep things interesting)

Map pool created. The maps were chosen according to the rule of avoiding the explosion of all 8 ACU on the mid

The maps will be displayed in the tournament bracket later.

@skrat Это финальная сетка?

More systematic oppression of the 5x5 map gamers, FAF is so toxic these days.

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this but I would like to donate to the prize pool so that the prizes are as follows

1st - $200
2nd - $100
3rd - $50

If this is acceptable please let me know how to make this happen. To be clear I am offering to fund the entire prize pool of $350. If the current funding is already in place then I will fund the balance. I don't use discord when I am away for work (near the Arctic circle) so I only use the forum app so please contact me here.
