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 18th October 23:59 UTC.
- Don't bother with single registation, 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: most wins at current tournament, then previous tournament winner, then highest team rating.
- No one gets a bye more than once per stage
- Early withdrawal in stage 1 makes all played and not played games of this team lost
- 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

In extreme case final stage can be postponed by one day (to Sunday 20th October) or one week (to the next 26th October Saturday) depending on the availability of finalists. However initial schedule is planned to be a single day. I've changed the format to hopefully make tournament more swift and less waiting in-between rounds.
