Rules:
Elimination style gameplay.
First Round
For the first round, teams will play 3 rounds of each map. Best of three wins. If the map timer runs out, then the winner of that match is determined by Sudden Death. The Sudden Death timer will be extended to give teams a lot of time to determine a victor. If both teams should turtle and no victor, they must play the same level again with the same rules.
Semi-Finals
Teams will play either Gravelpit or Dustbowl. Both teams will get a shot at attacking. If your team successfully attacks, and defends then you win. If it comes to a stalemate the match will be decided by playing 2Fort. First team to get 3 captures wins, otherwise the match is decided by sudden death as explained above (if time should run out).
Finals
The victors of the semi-finals will match off on Hydro. The first team to clear the map and gain total victory wins. This match will continue until a clear winner can be determined. Prepare yourselves for a marathon matchup! The losers of the semi-final will also get to play each other on Hydro for the glory of 3rd place (or second loser).
Date and Time:
Post what times are more convenient for you to play. Most likely, the matches will be on the weekends and late fridays. Maybe thursdays if it can work out. When you post to sign up, please post your times for Friday, Saturday and Sunday when you are available.
Signups and Teams:
Post if you wish to participate, also please include your steam name and link to your steam page. People who post on the first day will have a greater chance of being a captain. Each team will be assigned a captain. How this will work is basically the person with the most time spent on the Steam client (AKA Steam Rating) and/or Team Fortress 2 (along with how good you are) will be assigned a team to organize. After each team is assigned a captain, and whenever sign ups are done they get to choose who they want to be on their team via draft. How this will work is the captain will post on this thread who they want in their team from the sign up list, the who they choose will go in order. Team 1 chooses ONE person, then team 2 chooses ONE person etc. After the draft is done, it is wise to make a group on the steam community for your team to keep your members in check. After that, based on the times people have, we will set up which teams fight.
OR if you guys think this is too confusing. We could just have team randomly generated and team sizes determined by the number of players. The list will be posted once signups have ended. Once teams are posted I suggest you get together over Steam community (you can even make a group for your team to better organize). Choosing a captain is up to you, but it is suggested to have one for interfacing with the administrators. Tournament administrators are not able to be team captains, and cannot make decisions when their team is invovled. There are no class limitations.
Further details about team sizes and makeup will be posted tomorrow once signups are over.
Server
We would need a server to play these matches, Im going to ask one of the people who owns a PA server to see if we can hold our matches there.
The team numbers mean nothing, any team might go up against any other team.
Image Courteous of Alabaster Slim!Captains:I made it so that for every 6 people that I record their stats here someone from the group will be made captain.

I never post, but I see most of you guys on the [PA] Servers regularly. Good stuff. I think I hold my own pretty well.
Fridays: after 7 EST.
Saturday: Whenever. Preferably not saturday night
Sunday: Available, but not during Patriots games (usually 4-7 or 8-11 EST)
Edit: Request to make the Finals something other than Hydro. 90% of the time on the [PA] Servers this ends in sudden death because of the chokepointed nature of the map setups.
Steam id: Corbius
Best times: Thursday nights are normally free, Friday nights are better.
Saturday's are totally free, Sundays except from 4:30 to 9:30.

I live in the UK so i operate on the old GMT, shouldn't be a problem though.
I haven't played all that much TF2 lately, but this should be a good excuse to get back into it.
EvE: Vetitum/Venitum
I'm pretty much open Friday night, and all day Saturday and Sunday
I'm good for all times Sat/Sun.
I'm on PST( -8 GMT)
Sometimes I Stream Games: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/italax-plays-video-games
Steam: RandomEngy
What happened to the round robin idea? Some teams just got crushed first round and didn't get to play much. Also we probably shouldn't set the tournament structure until we figure out how many teams we're going to have.
I'd also volunteer for captain.
Steam: agoaj
Steam: musanman
Nick: An Innocent Civilian (or Civi)

I dont want to be a team captain so dont make me one despite my amazing stats.

Typically a demoman but I don't think it's a great idea to compare avg kills and damage, nor just on one class. Considering TF2 is a far different and more flexible beast than TFC, it's hardly uncommon for lots and lots of class switching during the tourney, or within individual matches.
Weeknights except Tuesdays are fine for me after 9PM EST. Weekends are fine though preferably not nights.
I'm also echoing RandomEngy's desire for a round-robin type tournament. Single elimination is pretty poor.
I'm good pretty much all afternoons-nights (US central), except for Mondays and Wednesdays when I don't get back from class until about 8:30pm.
Does anyone know who I can talk to who owns one of the PA servers to see if we can use one of those servers to hold this tournament?

Well yeah, I don't expect people to go as their most used character during the matches. I just put it there to show what character you have used the most is all.

I'm free mostly at night during the week and all during the weekends
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960788766/stats/TF2
I don't see any averages there though.
I suggest we try to do these tourneys in one day, not spread over three. Round Robin games are also a good idea.
I'm good whenever pretty much... although fridays are less good for me unless it's past like 11pm server
most played class: medic
average points per life: 3.37
average damage: no idea
Edit: Spy/132.10/.92
...I suck...
A pity. I was just about to sign up too. But maybe it was kinda a bad time in general, with thanksgiving coming up.
And yeah, with Thanksgiving coming up, I kinda....yeah.

There's a button that's suppose to erase stats, but it's not working when I try it, and boy am I trying hard
So nice.
