"Mutual Support" 2v2 BVR Tournament v6!

[dundun92]

  

INTRO

 

Mutual Support is a 2v2 BVR Tournament. Naturally, the smaller team sizes often lead to more aggressive and interesting fights that are focused on solid mutual support.

Various editions of it will have various rulesets based on the approximate time era chosen; this edition is 2000s themed.

 

 

DATE AND TIME

This second edition of Mutual Support will start at 2030z on February 13th, 2021. The running time will be no greater than 3 hrs. If this is exceeded, the competition will be resumed one of the the following Saturdays at a similar time, based on the teams preference.

 

 

Registration ends on February 12th.

 

 

 

OBJECTIVES AND TOURNAMENT STYLE

Each match is conducted as best of three rounds. The objective is to destroy all enemy aircraft, and keep at least one of your aircraft flyable.

 

 

The competition is a knockout-style competition, with teams being eliminated after loosing a 3 round match. Time permitting, looser of the first round of fights will participate in a separate championship.

 

 

 

RULES

1. A single team may be comprised of as many pilots as desired; however, only two may be used at a time.
2. Only one pilot is allowed to change between rounds (note that for the F-14, changing RIOs is allowed as much as desired).
3. Aircraft types may not be changed between the individual rounds of a particular match. They can, however, be changed between matches.
4. Mixed fleets of aircraft are allowed (e.g, one F-18C and one J-11A).
5. All spawns are air spawns separated by 80nm. There will be two arena's, so that two matches can occur simultaneously.
6. The competition will be on the Caucasus map.
7. Ping limit of 300 is server-enforced.
8. Lonewolfs are allowed; the pairings are to be decided automatically the day before the matchup, and will stay that way for the tournament. Alternatively, you may decide on the pairings yourselves; in that case, simply state the agreed pairings no later than February 11th at 2300z.
9. AWACS will be present, but WILL NOT have datalink enabled!
10. To keep the event running smoothly, I would ask that suggestions/questions be kept until the end of the event, unless they are relevant to/will affect the remaining rounds (e.g, concerns about excessive lag/rubber banding).
11. One squadron may enter up to 2 primary teams. Any further teams will be put on a reserve roster to allow space to accommodate more teams. If a team cannot show up, or registration is not full by registration end, reserve teams will be moved to the primary roster.
12. ECM is banned
13. Use of PH/ACT switch outside of 10nm is banned.
14. More Rules TBD
