Each 1x1 match consists of 3 sets. Each set lasts till 2 wins advantage by any participant. Planes are selected by participants in turns for each of first 2 sets. In the 3rd set they are selected in turns for each of first 2 flights. For the 3rd flight in the 3rd set planes are selected by exclusion of unfavourable planes in turns one by one.

Shooting on the 1st merge is allowed to speed up the match.

Mr. X participating???? I demand he use a custom skin coloured bright red. That way if I see him coming I'll have time to slide back my canopy and bail out! LOL
(Yes, we've met all-too-briefly on the ATAG server. Unfortunately, the pleasure was all his! )

I know what you mean by speeding up the match, but what is the point then?

And how do you restrict cheating? Is there any way to do that in CoD at this moment (1.05).

I dind duels very interesting discipline and I enjoy flying them quite often, but I don't think the sim is quite ready as for the FMs and especially DM just yet. Still great fun and some of these guys are unbelievable good ad keeping their energy. Amazing skills.

I am not one of the organizers and did not invent the rules. I think the match consisting of 4 to 9 flights is pretty long one to watch and organisers decided to try this new format. I did not see many head-ons anyway.

I have not noticed any cheating. At least in this trial/test championship all participants are old friends (and members of sukhoi.ru forums) flying IL-2 and CloD in the same teamspeak for many months if not years. No point in cheating imho.

Going to watch it now

I was just curious about the rules. It's not very typical on duels, but I understand. Fair enough.

Cheating - question was ment in general not regarding this particular championship. I'd like to know if it's possible to turn something like CRT=2 on and restrict mods. I am pretty sure that some pilots would do anything to get tha upper hand in duels, been that way in Il-2 and will be the same in CoD.

Steam VAC is supposed to ban accounts of unauthorised mod users but I do not know how it works now.

Yes, due to some reported dot visibility issues and till it is fixed by the devs (planes disappearing at mid-range). That's what I've heard.
