Registration:

Sign up here in pairs or single. Write your FAF nickname & rating here. Registration will end on 28th March 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)
Combined rating cap for each team is 4100. No rounding.
Rating calculated based as of 10th March. Global/3v3 is taken, whichever is higher with at least 10 rated games this year. 1v1, 2v2, 4v4 are not counted.
It means that if you have 2098 global with 15 rated games and 2232 3v3 with 5 rated games, 2098 global is taken into account. But if both have less than 10 rated games this year, 2232 is taken into account.
10 rated games should be dated between 1st January and 10th March 2025
Rating cap per player is 2200. Player's rating above 2200 counted just as 2200 even if it's 2400.

Tournament Format:

Games are played between teams of 2
First stage. Swiss. 6 tours. Teams with 4+ points will progress into second stage.
Initial seeding: top half vs bottom half
Depending on table score standings team may face the same opponents twice (unlikely, but possible)
Teams with the most amount of wins will have a priority in getting free round at final stage. In case of ties Buchholz will be used
Second stage. Single elimination Bo1, semifinals & finals Bo3
In-client channel is #dat4
Additional guidance (maps & table) will be provided in a special Discord thread

Tournament rules:

If the team is 30 minutes later after start of event, team gets disqualified.
If one of team members cannot participate, it can be replaced during the tournament by any other pre-registered participant. You can register your reserve player immediately, if you want to.
Replacement should be within rating cap specified by tournament.
Replacements outside of pre-registered players should be manually approved by Tournament Director and should not be higher rated than the original participant
Win = 1 score points, draw = 0.5, defeat = 0
In case of uneven amount of teams in first stage, team gets a bye (free score) in the following precedence: previous tournament winner, then lowest team rating.
No one gets a bye more than once per stage
Any conflict or critical bug should be immediately appealed to the organizer. This does include in-game pause. It means both pausing in case of critical problem and keeping game paused until official resolution.

In-game rules:

Common control - multiple armies, union control
Share conditions - partial share
SIM-mods "HQ SACU" and "TwoACUs"
Replay ID to download the mods: https://replay.faforever.com/24460565
Prebuilt Units: on
Unlimited timeouts
Do not transfer your entire base or entire army before your commander dies. Transfering some units is allowed; swapping bases is also allowed
Do not Alt+F2 to change view after your death and before your base is given to an ally. After 30 seconds since your death has passed, you can change the view and help your ally, but not before.
No in-game spectators other than directors and streamers are allowed
Name your lobby in format like "DAT4 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

Tournament settings

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.

SIM mods description

HQ SACU. T3 land/air HQ can produce stock SACUs (without upgrades). The support factories cannot, only HQs.
TwoACUS. At the start of the game you get two ACUs instead of one.

You can see both of these on the screenshot below. Since I chose UEF, I got two UEF ACUs. Nothing else has been added.

Popiska	4	12

Final stage

Single elimination bracket as of 29th March 19.00 UTC. It will be changed due to external reasons

I've been informed by moderation & tournament team that team Nuggets & FTX cannot proceed to participate in the tournament. It creates a difficult compication for the tournament bracket, since if it continues to be playes at is it, there will be only three semifinalists.

After careful consideration I've decided to re-adjust the bracket in a way that I consider to best serve keeping the tournament competitive and fair. Losers of quarters finals will be granted an additional BO1 versus one another to decide, which one of whem will face team Ginger in semifinals BO3. This way I re-introduce 4th semifinalist in order to compensate for the lack of team Nuggets.

General notes: losers of quarterfinals get "second chance", but after losing they need to win 3 games in a row to get into finals (no chance of mistake). On another hand, team Ginger need to win only 1 game to get into finals.

Final stage. Final table.

Quarter BO1	Semi BO3	Finals BO3
Banani vs Ginger 0:1	Ginger vs Banani 1:2	Banani vs Neytron 0:2	<-- 1st place/2nd place
Swato vs Popiska 0:1	Neytron vs Popiska 2:0	Ginger vs Popiska 2:0	<-- 3rd place
"Lucky loser": Banani vs Swato 1:0
