squad of 4 noobs. We'd like a bit more info before jumping into
battle unprepared. 1. Is it possible to arrange a specific
time to play? 2. How many battles are there? Are they all on 1 day
or are they split up? 3. How do lineups work? Do we have time
before each battle to come up with a lineup and strategy for each
map? 4. How should the lineup be like? Should we have 1 fast
scout and the rest heavies? 5. At the beginning of a match,
do you see the enemy lineup or do you have to actually spot them to
find out?dance210: Hi! Welcome to tournaments and I hope you have fun in the March
Madness!! 1. There are specific times to play. The schedule
for you, directly from the tournament page 
Friday, March 18th - 1800PT
Saturday, March 19th - 1500 PT Saturday March 19th - 1800 PT Sunday
March 20th - 1500 PT Sunday March 20th - 1800 PT 2. Each
day/time is a separate group stage (also called round
robin) round. That means that there is one round on Friday,
two rounds on Saturday and two rounds on Sunday. Each round has a
maximum of 9 battles. Battles last for a maximum of 10 minutes.
Within a round, battles start every 10 minutes. So, taking
Friday, March 18th - 1800 PT as an example, the battles will start
as follows: 1800 PT 1810 PT 1820 PT 1830 PT 1840 PT 1850 PT 1900 PT
1910 PT 1920 PT 3. Each group stage round will be played on
one map. Special battles will pop up in game 10 minutes before the
battle actually starts. There is also ~3 minutes between battles,
assuming the game goes the full 7 minutes. So, there should be
plenty of time to change line-ups and go over strats between
battles 4. I'm going to let the
players answer this one. IMO, the line-up depends on the map. A map
like Ensk would lean towards a heavier, brawling line-up while an
open map like Prokhorovkha may benefit from more medium/light
tanks. 5. When you load in, you will see what tanks the
enemy team is bringing. However, just like a regular random battle,
the actual tank won't be visible until someone on your team spots
them. Good luck and let us know if you have any more
questions!!
