      Tournament date:

      • Swiss stage. Saturday 19th July, 13.00 UTC. Convert to your local timezone here
      • Round robin stage. Sunday 20th July, 13.00 UTC. Convert to your local timezone here
      • Tournament organizer & director: Sainse

      Registration:

      • Sign up here in pairs or single. Write your FAF nickname & rating here. Registration will end on 18th July 9:59 UTC.
      • Combined rating cap for each team is 4400. No rounding.
      • Rating calculated as of 15th June. Global/3v3 is taken, whichever is higher with at least 10 rated games this year. 1v1, 2v2, 4v4 are not counted.
      • Rating cap per player is 2400.

      Tournament Format:

      • Games are played between teams of 2
      • Initial seeding: top half vs bottom half
      • First stage. Swiss. 6 tours. Teams with 4+ points will progress into second stage.
      • Teams with 5+ points will gain a right to veto one faction in the second stage.
      • Teams with 6 points will gain a right to veto one faction and random in the second stage.
      • Depending on table score standings team may face the same opponents twice (unlikely, but possible)
      • Second stage. Round robin. Double round robin if 4 teams or less remains
      • No ties in the first stage is possible. Ties in second stage are resolved by Bo1 for 1-3nd places (the only difference is avatars) and Bo3 for 3-4th places (the difference is money prize and avatar)
      • If three or more teams tied, they are narrowed down to two best teams using Buccholz system first and then Bo played between them. Tie breaks do not increase points calculated in money prizes. Two teams with tie for 1/2nd place will get exactly the same money prize
      • In-client channel is #tourney
      • 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 player that is not higher-rated than the original player
      • Win = 1 score points, draw = 0.5, defeat = 0
      • In case of uneven amount of teams in first stage, the lowest rated team gets a bye (free score)
      • 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
      • 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. Wait around 30 seconds and then you can switch
      • Odd vs even
      • Unit cap: 1500
      • Unlimited timeouts
      • Games should have ranking enabled (be rated)
      • No in-game spectators other than directors and streamers are allowed
      • Name your lobby in format like "DAT5 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

      Description of union control & partial share:

      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.

                              Map list has been updated based on tournament team member feedback.

                              I've received messages from around half a dozen people not being available on that particular date. Unless at least 8 teams are registered by the end of Friday, the tournament will be postponed. Since next week is already planned for a different tournament, the delay will be no less than 2 weeks, but possibly more.
