If there will be 8 or fewer teams then the format of the tournament will be changed to a Round Robin (each team plays every other team once) with a separate Final. The team that takes 3rd place during the Round Robin stage will receive an award for 3rd place, and the two top teams will play the final in a BO3 format. All standard tournament rules apply (read here https://forum.faforever.com/topic/269/tournament-code-of-conduct).

Any player can take part in both tournaments if his team is rated!

Map vetoing rules for BO3 format:
First the higher seed team picks a map to veto, then lower seed, higher again, etc. Until there are 9 maps left.
The higher seed team chooses the map for game 1.
The lower seed team chooses the map for game 2.
If after playing 2 games the score is 1-1, there will be another round of vetoing.
Each team again gets another 3 vetoes and you will start vetoing from the remaining 7 maps until only 1 is left. This time the lower seed will start vetoing.
You will play the final game of the BO3 on this map.

Thanks to TheWeakie and Aranei for the full broadcast of the tournament. Thanks also to all the other streamers who covered the tournament. Thanks to Lunyshko, Furkotya, NOC-, Fichom and TheWeakie for their help in organizing the tournament. Also thanks to Dorset for his epic donation! This tournament wouldn't be the same without you!

I remind that the O3600 tournament will take place next Saturday

Thanks to a $204.20 from someone who goes by Mizer, the total prize pool is now $314.20! Thanks to him, there is a prize for 3rd place and 2 additional prizes that will make our tournament even more memorable!

Due to the time zone difference, so that all people can have a good sleep and do their business on Monday, it was proposed to change the start date of the tournament to Saturday, April 9th (1 day earlier) The start time of the tournament will remain the same.

Are there players for whom this change will make participation impossible? If so, the date will remain the same

Attention! Due to the overlap of this tournament with another, the Seton Wars are postponed to 10th. The start time remains the same

Thanks to a $50 from someone who goes by Moonrider, the total prize pool is now $484.20! Thanks to him, we will also have a secret prize!

Attention! The tournament will take place on Saturday, April 9th (one day earlier) Thanks to the fact that we already have a full application and for the reasons written in the comments above
The start time of the tournament remains the same 14.00 UTC

Thanks to EarlyDoors for donating $£50, the total prize pool is now $544.20!

Due to the fact that some captains can not participate in the draft right now. The draft will take place asynchronously. As soon as it finishes I will post the results here.

The draft channel (#setons-wars-draft) on the official FAF Discord is now public. For those who want to follow the progress of the draft. Please don't spam there!

This problem happens very often. After the update, 1/3 of all the classic games end without a result (in fact, all the games passed and ended normally, there were no lags, player crashes, etc., and the winner was determined)

I think to bring back the popularity of 1x1 games, we need to hold weekly Blitz tournaments (under 1500 and 1500+). No cash prize, no new avatars, and no broadcast.
Just give people the opportunity to play a few games, with different opponents and in an interesting format. If you do such tournaments regularly, then for someone it will be a motivation to play 1x1, so that in the next tournament to perform better and possibly play against the strongest players faf, or just to go further than "that guy who can't play, but somehow took a higher place".
