In tournaments each slot has a skillset (NM1 is aim, HD2 is low ar, DT4 is finger control etc.)

What skillsets are HD4 and HR4?

(Also I assume HD3 and HR3 are alt, is this right?)

HR3 and HD3 can generally be anything from flow aim, alt, or tech (it just depends on how the poolers are feeling)

My goat Aiz explained HD4 and HR4 better.

Generally, most tournaments don't have an HD4 or HR4, if yours does I'd just ask in the tournament discord since it's probably a niche gimmick slot or something similar.

This isn't for a tournament I'm playing in, I've just seen it in high level tournaments like Mrekk Grandmaster Cup, Corsace Closed, Vaxei vs Maliszewski Showmatch etc.

As my goat sparklepants has said, hd3 and hr3 both can usually test quite a few things, depending on what the poolers need to make all skillsets balanced in the pool. hd4 and hr4 would just be an extra hd3/hr3 that tests a different skillset than what they put in those slots.
(While keeping a strong balance of skillsets in the pool in its entirety, obviously.)

This years OWC has done away with slot pooling, so I'm not sure if other tourneys will follow suit in the future. If that happens, then you really don't know what to expect until you see the map.
