How to unlock the Team Domination achievement

    This achievement is one of the more difficult ones to unlock due to the PGR4 matchmaking system and relative lack of online players.

    Here are some methods for unlocking this, from hardest to easiest:

    1. By Yourself, no boosting partner.
    - You cannot choose 4 on 4 tournament and instead have to rely on the game to match you to a 4 on 4, so simply getting into a tournament where the achievement is even possible will be tough.
    - You cannot force the game to match you to players of similar skill, and will usually see a "Pro" or better on the random teams. At the same time, you could be potentially matched with multiple Rookie or Recreational players.

    2. With 3 other partners - 4 player party.
    - In a party of 4, you will always get placed in 4 on 4 matches. However, you may find yourself waiting - over 15 minutes - just to get in a single tournament!
    - Keep in mind you can get 3,000 bonus kudos per event, so if you are behind in an event and it looks like you might not place, try to max out the kudos you do get.

    3. With 7 other partners - 2 parties of 4
    - This setup has a good chance of getting you matched to each other, but again the matchmaking system will sometimes simply never match you to your preferred party due to "TrueSkill", server latency, or other factors.

    4. With 7 other partners - One party of 4, Two parties of 2.
    - This setup has a high probability of getting at least 6 of you in the same tournament. Then, the team of 2 intentionally loses to the team of 4, which will hopefully cause the other two random players on the losing team to quit, or at least agree to boost. You'll have to swap parties at some point so everyone can be on the team of 4.

    5. By yourself - glitch.
    - Occasionally in PGR4 you may find yourself get disconnected from the tournament - where you continue to race, but all your opponents quit out. Interestingly, you do not get disconnected from XBOX Live, and the game continues to place you in the remaining events of the tournament. If this disconnect happens on the first event, before any kudos score are tallied, you will effectively be the only one racing for your team, with all 7 other players tied for second with a score of 0. Depending on how the scoreboard looks at the end, as long as your color teammates occupy the top 4 spots--this achievement, along with 1-2 finish and team leader--will unlock. So, if you can *force* a disconnect like this to happen - router reset, high latency - you can unlock this achievement.
    - Note that disconnecting from a tournament lowers your "TrueSkill" as it is considered a quit.

    I am going to go out on a limb and say the matchmaking is the same as PGR 3.

    Which means there is a way to get matched up 100% of the time.

    Have two Gamertags boost Online races against each other trading wins so as not to get Trueskill too high to not match up. After 15-20 match-ups you should in theory match up 100% of the time.

    Then have these two gamertags make parties and they again in theory should match up 100% of the time.

    i will try it and let you know.

    We did it with 2 Parties of 4 and it would take about 3 minutes of searching in matchmaking then it would match us up.......not to bad but very time consuming.

    Dogeatr00Got this last night, great, great solution! Took a few minutes, but the team of 4 and two teams of 2 worked very well! Thank you for writing such a great solution!

    this is a hard achievement
    i tried for wks in vain to get this.
    this guide is the best way i found to get this is

    1 . get a bossting session with 8 or more
    2 . xbox live party every1 then prefer them as a player ( ive heard that making every1 in the party your friend also helps)
    3 . split of into 3 groups (in the game not the xbox live party) 1 group of 4 (if some1 has got the achievement dont put them in this party), 2 groups of 2
    4 . start seaching at the same time
    5 . IF you manage to macth up then let the team of 4 win then just rotate round till it pops for every1

    gd luck

    the way that my boosting found that if your boosting with 8 get everyone in an xbox live party and get everyone to prefer everyone that way you will have a better chance of finding each other plus if everyone searches on the own at the same time you will have a better chance of matching up be patient with the waiting time it take a while to find everyone we we did it we found 7 out of 8 but we had one random who quit so we let the the group of four win all 3 races and when we searched again we could only find 6 due to connection problems with a few people but be patient and u will get it
