We are constantly working on improving and adding more features to the tournament system. Check out the new Realistic Battles tournaments without markers:

Tank tournament 2 vs 2 in Realistic Battles mode without markers for 256 teams:

“Air Strike” 7 vs 7 air tournament in Realistic Battles mode without markers for 16 teams:

Next week, all players can take part in the 7 vs 7 tournament that resembles the format of Grand-Finals of the War Thunder League:

• Fire Front RB

In this tournament, players can check the new mechanics of picking the mission for each match.

Following changes and improvements have been implemented in the Swiss tournament bracket system:

• If both teams do not show for the match, they now receive 0 points each;
• Same teams can now play a maximum of 2 matches against each other in one tournament;
• In case that the opponent does not show for the match, the Bucholz coefficient of this match will be calculated in the way that your team played and won against the opponent with exact same rating as your team;
• In the case that there is no opponent for a team in a round, this team receives victory automatically. This can repeat only in the case when other teams from the low points group also received the victory automatically.
• Players who are in arbiter and spectator modes in a tournament will not be automatically moved to the tournament lobbies. Other tournament players will be moved to the tournament lobby automatically before the match starts.

Good luck on the battlefield!
