Double Allied Tournament 3

[Sainse]

Double Allied Tournament 3 is a 2v2 tournament scheduled for 26th October. This is the third time we're making this tourney. Again new map pool, >100$ prize pool and even more special!

Prizes (105$ by Neytron):

• 60$ for the 1st place & custom avatar
  
• 30$ for the 2nd place & custom avatar
  
• 15$ for the 3rd place & custom avatar
  

Tournament date:
13.00 UTC, Saturday, 26th October
in-client channel #dat3

Tournament Format:

• Games are played between teams of 2
• Combined rating cap for each team is 4200. Rating calculated based on best section as of 13th October. If player has less than 20 rated games last year, the section that has >20 rated games is taken instead.
• Combined rating floor for each team is 3500. Your team should have no less than this amount of combined rating
• Rating cap per player is 2400. Player's rating above 2400 counted just as 2400 even if it's 2600
• First stage. Swiss system. 6 tours. No elimination. You can start from 2 losses in a row, then get 3 wins and have a good chances of getting into a second stage.
• Final stage. Single elimination Bo1 or Bo3
• 1/4 teams progresses into the second stage
• If number of finalists greater than 4, final stage is played with Bo1, if 4 or less - Bo3
• In-client channel is #dat3

Registration:

• Sign up here in pairs or single. Write your FAF nickname here. Make sure your team fits the rating cap. Registration will end on 25th October 23:59 UTC.
• Don't feel shy to sign up solo, organizers will try their best to help you with finding a suitable mate (no pun intended)

Description of union control:

If one of commanders dies, the player can switch via Alt+F2 to his ally and continue to help his ally. Alt+F2 won't allow do anything besides it (won't allow giving yourself Paragon or Mavor). So if one of teamates dies, both player will control all the units they have. For example, one can play land and other play air to divide responsibilities.

It essentially eliminates APM penalty for a commander's death. In order to compensate it, full share is changed to partial share. Partial share works as full share except it doesn't share military units, only buildings and engineers.

"HQ SACU" mod description:

T3 land/air HQ can produce stock SACUs (without upgrades). The factories cannot, only HQs.

Tournament rules:

• If the team is 30 minutes late after start of event, team gets disqualified.
• If one of team members cannot participate, it can be replaced during the tournament by other pre-registered participant. You can register your reserve player immediately, if you want to.
• Rating of player who replaces cannot be more than 100 points higher than rating of the player he is replacing. Sam with 1400 rating can replace Bill with 1600 rating, but no vice versa.
• Win = 1 score point, draw = 0.5, defeat = 0
• In case of uneven amount of teams at any stage, team gets a bye (free score) in the following precedence: least rating per team, then least amount of wins.
• No one gets a bye more than once per stage (if possible)
• Early withdrawal in stage 1 makes all played and not played games of this team lost
• Stage 1 initial seed is based on combined rating. Match ups during the tournament decided by current score (Swiss system).
• Stage 1. Same teams match ups won't repeat more than twice. Second exact match up won't occur before round 4.
• Any conflict or critical bug should be immediately appealed to the organizer. This implies pausing current game, if necessary

In-game rules:

• Common control - multiple armies, union control
• Share conditions - partial share
• SIM-mod "HQ SACU"
• Unlimited timeouts
• Do not transfer your entire base or entire army before your commander dies. Transfering some units is allowed; exchanging bases is also allowed
• Do not Alt+F2 to change view after your death and before your base is given to an ally
• No in-game spectators other than players, organizers and streamers are allowed
• Name your lobby in format like "DAT3 ABC vs XYZ"
• It is recommended to not choose similar colors as your opponent (pink/red, light blue/dark blue); similar colors for allies are OK. Here is the tutorial
  

Map pool

Results

In order to pass into final stage team should have scored 4/6.

First (swiss) stage manual table. Round 6 was finished early cause the remaining two teams who didn't play round 6 already got 4/6, making them play against each other would make no difference. Also 2.5/6 won't pass into second stage anyway. So I've decided to end it a little bit earlier.

@swatoslav your combined rating is 4200, which is well above rating cap. I cannot register you

A few rules updates I did wanted to add a while ago:

1. Rating cap is 2400 per player. Every player above 2400 is counted as having plain 2400. Rating cap per team stays the same. This should allow high-rated players to form a team with a players they are familiar with. It's partially mitigates a problem of 2800 rated players not knowing any 1200 players, let alone those who willing to participate in a tournament.
2. Stated rules regarding early withdrawal in stage 1. If early withdrawal - all wins are turned into losses, including played ones. This should be pretty obvious and just someting I forgot about.

@pavor while the add of rating cap helps you to fit in, reducing your effective rating from 2434 to 2400, overrated-player is still too much overrated. He's 1708 as of 1st October and even more overrated now. 2437~=2400+1708 is 4108. There is no rounding. Please find another partner.

Since there is too few applications so far I've decided to raise the rating cap per team to 4200. The ratings are re-evaluted as of 14th October to be more relevant. While I were a bit hesitant to do that after having sign ups, we only have one team registered so far, and newer reference date estimates them to be 4180, which is almost 4200, so I don't think they're missing out anything.

@horse12 this particular tourney does having rating floor of 3500, you don't fit

The "start with SCU" mod replaced with "HQ SACU" mod made by me. The mod is publicly available in client vault just as any other mod

My original intention was to create more options for SACU usage, especially combat ones. Starting with SCU would shift opening too much while not affecting later game. In order to fix that I replaced the original mod with HQ SACU. You can produce more-than-one SACU in T3 HQ and upgrade them however you want. This should serve the purpose without bringing tricky balance issues.
