let's go over... the basics:

format:

8v8, no class restrictions. anything goes. double elimination (with a twist.)

no crits

allow me to go over how this tournament is going to play out.

very first round in the tournament:

this round plays out in standard rules. it's an 8v8 on a specified map, with appropriate map rules applying. people who win during this stage continue on in the WINNERS BRACKET, and fight the next appropriate team. however, if you lose... please, continue on...

... loser bracket qualifier round:

the loser bracket qualifier round is specifically for the teams that lost in the first round of (note, JUST the first round) WINNERS BRACKET. this round, dubbed "the elimination bracket qualifier stage", has a unique set of rules.

each pair of teams (that are facing against eachother) choose a player to "champion" them. this champion then fights against the other teams champion, in a first to 5 kills match.

this format is 1v1, played on either an arena map, or a custom map. each player may choose the class of their preference, with the exception of engineer. no engineers allowed. i'm going to leave the scheduling of this match, as well as what map is played up to the discretion of each teams respective captain.

this match absolutely has to be played before the next match in the winner's bracket, so you have about a week to find an appropriate date. it can't be that hard to schedule a 1v1, so no complaining.

however, if you feel that your team has neither the energy nor willingness to continue playing, you may opt out of the losers bracket entirely, and forfeit the tournament.

edit to these rules: teams now have the option to opt for a regular 8v8 match, if both teams agree to it.

back to the easy stuff:

this is ez. it goes back to being a standard elimination bracket, with two brackets (the WINNERS BRACKET and the LOSERS BRACKET).

each team plays down their respective brackets, and when there's only one team left on each bracket, they pair off and play eachother for the coveted NUMBA ONE CHAMPION spot.

but mr. tinylobsta, when is all this happening?

good question billy, allow me to enlighten you!

these are the current dates for the tournament. these MAY be subject to change, given enough reason to, and if they are changed, the captains will be notified, and they will notify you.

(all dates are based around a 10 team or less tournament setup)

WINNERS BRACKET SCHEDULE:

round 1

mandalore's team vs tinylobsta's team (tuesday, july 7th, 9:30est) TINYLOBSTA'S TEAM WON
gpr's team vs ender's team (thursday, july 9th, 9:30est) ENDER'S TEAM WON

rakuen's team vs melkor's team (friday july, 10th, 9:30est) RAKUEN'S TEAM WON
bk's team vs gunwarrior's team (saturday, july 11th, 9:30est) BK'S TEAM WON

rakuen's team vs team bk (thursday, july 16th, 9:30est) RAKUEN'S TEAM WON

team rakuen vs team enders (tuesday, july 21st, 9:30est) ENDER'S TEAM WON

Round 4 (FINAL ROUND)

team enders vs team GPR (thursday, july 30th, 9:30est)

LOSERS BRACKET aka all the teams who disappeared from the winners bracket:

Round 1 aka the LOSERS BRACKET qualifier stage (qualifies you for the LOSERS BRACKET):

mandalore's team/representative vs gpr's team/representative GPR'S REP WON

team melkor vs team gunwarrior (sunday, july 12th, 9:30est) TEAM MELKOR WON

Round 2:

team melkor vs team gpr (friday, july 17th, 9:30est) TEAM GPR WON

Round 3:

winner of round 2 goes on to fight against winner of WINNER bracket.

what maps on what rounds

this is pretty straight forward.

during round 1 in the WINNERS BRACKET, everybody will being playing gravelpit, with standard cevo rules.

this is a stopwatch game. each team defends twice, and attacks twice. at the end of the first attack/defend cycle, teams switch sides.

however, round 1 in the LOSERS BRACKET, the qualifying round, will be played on a diff map, as is specified in the rules of "loser bracket qualifier round".

round 2 will be played on ctf_turbine! whoa! no way!

a ctf map in a penny arcade tournament, what a ridonkulous proposition

yet still, we shall play it! and it will be glorious!

round 3 is gonna have to be either cp_well or cp_freight! rules on cp_well/cp_freight are first to 5 wins, time limit of 60 minutes. if the game ends via timelimit, team with the most points takes it.

and finally, the final map will be announced... at a later date! muaha!

well that's all good, but how are players chosen? huh? tell me that!

a captain system will be used for choosing players.

each captain, starting in a certain order, will choose one player. the next captain will then choose a player, and then the next will choose a player, etc, until every team captain has one player.

this process will repeat itself, until all teams are filled.

so, without further ado, allow me to introduce you to your current team captains!

i'm still looking for more captains, so please, if you want to captain, let me know!

team captains (as of right now):

mandalore #4
GPR #8
Enders #7
Rakuen #2
tiny lobsta #3
Asiina #5
Gunwarrior #6
Melkor #1

current player roster:

GreenPowerRanger · June 2009

People better sign up for this.

Faffel · June 2009

Hmmm... I'd be really interested in this, but my only issue is that between work and judo my schedule is really erratic. Can't do it from 7-9PM PST Wednesday, or 5:30 to 7PM PST and then closing shifts get tossed in.

Bah. Life.

Nappuccino · June 2009

As much as I'd like to sign up for this, I'm amazingly mediocre and fairly certain I already have a conflict with 2 of the match times.

Still I'd love to spectate the matches I can.

GreenPowerRanger · June 2009

I've decided who I want in my team:

mandalore
GPR
Enders
Rakuen
tiny lobsta
Asiina

I shall eventually control all teams in the tournament ensuring my victory & victory for all.

clarification on gravelpit rules is a necessity

Best out of 2. If there is a tie the winner will be decided by a dance off.

tofu · June 2009

You couldn't pick a better ctf map besides turbine?

tyrannus · June 2009

turbine is a good CTF map

tofu · June 2009

It appears we are at an impasse.

Mandalorian Rooster · June 2009

A good CTF map is still a bad map.

tofu · June 2009

ctf well is pretty fun

RonaldoTheGypsy · June 2009

All of these matches happen while I am at work. I'll see you punks in the servers (but not for the tourney)

Streltsy · June 2009

Horrowshow! Loved the last PA tournament I played in, these should be done more often.

Sign me up!

I'll even get a mic hooked up, although I can't promise I'll be consistently audible or that I won't periodically emit horrible demonic static into you hearing holes.

I never work past 6 o'clock, so this will work perfectly.

Centipeed · June 2009

I can't play, but I do want someone to validate my TF2 existence by saying that they'd want me on their team as a heavy if I were able to.

Please.

Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo · June 2009

So no class restrictions?

Fizban140 · June 2009

I wish I could play but I will be away one those dates

There has to be more of these.

Raoulduke20 · June 2009

Sign me up for a full time player.

Medic

The Lord of Hats · June 2009

I think I'll be able to sign up as a full player.

Name: The Lord of Hats

Description: I'll be frank. I'm not spectacular. I can play medic with something approaching competence, and the same goes for heavy. I'm not quite as good at pyro, but it's still my favored class, though I tend to play whatever the team needs most. Demoman is my last backup class, though I'm really not good at it (I mostly spam pipes, whenever I use stickies I seem to have a magical ability to attract spies and snipers).

Besides that, I'm terrible at hitting things as a soldier or sniper, I'm terrible at scout, I don't have the level of experience necessary to be a non-terrible spy, and although I'm not entirely terrible as an engineer (I don't know how to do battle engi), it's not a class I'll often switch to.

On the bright side, I'm good at following orders.

Steam ID :http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197992852180

I'd like to sign up, but i will not be available to play on the 18th July.

Can i still sign up as a full player, and let a reserve player take my slot if my team gets to that match?

EDIT: actually, i'm not sure if my holiday starts 8th or 18th, im gonna have to check this.

Xenocide Geek · June 2009

given appropriate notice, i think that can be accommodated, 101.

101 · June 2009

thanks, if its the 8th i'd probably miss quite a few matches, so i'll double check and get back to you.

Also, Kruber pyros in 8v8 tournaments. is this a good strategy yes/no

blk · June 2009

Yeah, I haven't been around for a while but I'm still good enough to take you punks to school. Or something. I hate playing spy, anything else is fine.

LookFreeGrenade · June 2009

Pretty sure I can get in on this

Sledgehammer
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Iwannabeyoursledgehammer
Preferably full-time player, if teams are already bloated then I guess reserves

and I main as medic, though I can play engineer or spy

edit: I am unsure if I will be able to make several of the 6:30 times, so barring a change to like 7:30 I'd have to be reserve. Can go to all of the 9:30 ones though so I'm not sure how it would work out

TechBoy · June 2009

P.S. $10 says Tyrannus' team is him and 7 medics. Side bet: 4 are Kritz, 3 are Uber.
