ACWS 4v4 BVR Tournament Sign-ups Open Now!

[Triggerjo23]

Air Combat World Series 4v4 BVR Rule Set

Hello everyone and welcome to the Air Combat World Series. The ACWS will be holding everything from BVR to BFM competitions with 1v1's, 2v2's and 4v4's and more. The aim is to create a supplementary set of competitions to the already great selection of tournaments available to compete in. The future will see us hopefully develop a full league with ranked teams who can drop up and down divisions from season to season. This means that brand new teams with less experience can compete against others of similar skill levels as they grow from season to season. Once their skill has grown they will move up a division eventually reaching the ACWS Premier Division where they compete against the best you all have to offer!

For now we are starting with a 4v4 tournament and how close we come to the finalised idea this season will depend on the number of teams that sign-up. So we are hoping for a lot of you. The 4v4 tournament weapons restrictions are designed to enable the use of of the SU-27 and 33 which has not been able to see much action for a while since the introduction of the SD-10 and new 120's. The Tomcat is also very much redundant in an environment where the use of 120c's and SD-10's are allowed. Restricting Fox 3's down to the 120b may also encourage greater use of the Mirage 2000. We hope these weapons restrictions will increase the variety of airframes in the competition.

Prizes are still to be decided but for now until they are confirmed assume its for the pride and glory of winning! We hope to see you all in the discord!

Weapons restrictions:

4x Fox 3 any number of Fox 2's.
Any Phoenix allowed.

Banned Weapons
120c, SD-10. 9x, Talds, A2G weapons.

 

Conditions:

- Approximately 60nm radius bubble and on Caucuses map to ensure all teams can take part.

- Teams must ready up for take-off and have 20 minutes to do so.

- Teams can Engage from the outside of the bubble.

- All members of a team must enter the bubble within 10 minutes from take-off.

- Once all members are in the bubble teams must gain control of the bubble through the elimination of the opposing team.

- Once a team has controlled the bubble for more than 5 minutes they have won the round.

- Landing inside the bubble counts as a death. Landing then taking off again inside the bubble will be classed as a rule break.

Game play rules:

- The use of ECM is banned and it's use will result in a round loss for the offending team.

- If any known exploit is found to have been used that round will be lost for the offending team. This includes the AoA roll and any variation of it.

- If any exploit comes to be known and has been used in the past then those match results will be amended and the offending team will suffer points loss as well as the the team offended on gain points.

- Players can not fly on other competing teams in this competition. Teams found to have shared members will suffer a lost match.

- Only registered members of a team can fly on that team i.e. either team members must ask for the team role in Discord or their team representative request it be given to them.

- If a team has more than four members they may create A and B teams however competition membership priority will be given to A teams first. Only if there are not enough slots filled will B teams be admitted. A and B teams must be well labelled on the signup page for example **[TFA] Happy Skulls (A Team)** and **[TFA] Fighting Ducks (B Team)**.

- So far a maximum of 32 teams will be allowed for sign-up. If there are more then we may be able to form a separate league.

- Matches may be streamed and streamers can sign up as streamers for matches once a schedule is released.

- Rules may be ammended as and when needed.
