Hi.

There has been some interest both post and PM related to the lack of a TF2 competition

Competition planning has pretty much been finished/finalised, so if a TF2 competition was to run, it would have to be pretty late saturday and clash with...something "i havent decided yet "

I wouldnt mind playing it myself, but for a good TF2 comp we would need 4+ 6 player teams, for a decent 6v6 tourny

So Vote people!

R4n, if you are worried about variables, TF2 has a tournament mode built in. You simply need to set MP_tournament to 1 and it'll do it all for you

Setting up a working server isnt really the issue.
The major issues with making a TF2 competition a regular thing are:
1. there simply doesnt seem to be that many people wanting to play in a TF2 competition when there is a CS, COD, DOTA comp running
2. there isnt any more room for a major competition

We really wanted to get a TF2 comp off the ground last lan. but our internet connection simply cannot handle a few hundred people updating TF2 at once, and as such we had a whole lot of people who simply couldnt connect due to mismatched versions.

Hopefully next lan a TF2 update doesnt occur ON the weekend.

time permitting "im running with a skeleton crew in terms of competitions for this event" i will get a smaller comp for TF2 off the ground. But the number of teams entered will have to be limited etc...

(if there is someone expierenced in running TF2 servers/tournaments reading this PM me if you are interested in helping me with a possible competition "this doesnt mean im 100% running one")
