Hey guys,

Would you like any maps to be running on the pub servers at v20?
If people would like, I can probably arrange with Squid to have a custom map server and a stock map server, so if you let me know what maps you want up, I can try to make it happen.

And for all you players who play in the competitions, what do you think of this for the first 3 rounds (mixing it up a little, just for the sake of doing it). Keep in mind, this is double elimination.

cp_gravelpit (stopwatch), koth_viaduct (first to 3, half a hour time limit), cp_granary (push)

I have only planned the first 3 rounds because 3 rounds are basically guaranteed, from there it's fairly uncertain.

Reason for map choices:
gravelpit: It's an awesome map, starting with a stopwatch map is also good because the later in the night you play it, the more sick of them you get.
viaduct: Can be quick to make up for the fact that a gpit match can go for ages.
granary: Need I really say?

I am only using maps that are used in OzFortress, previous Respawn competitions or that have a chance of being known by both pub players and players of Team Rape/Tunnel Snakes/Whatever they are calling themselves this time.
Edit: Even though I am taking suggestions. 2Fort will not. Ever. Happen during regular competition play. If we ever do play best of 3 in the grand final, it may end up being the decider just for shits and giggles, but it's not going to be used for regular play.

Using OWL5 rules and item unlocks.
Unlocks list can be found at: http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=43818 (and will be posted on the LAN forums when I get to Respawn.)
The only real difference in the rules from previous Respawns is that there is a 1 pause per team rule. This will only apply if there wasn't an update the night before/day of Respawn screwing up peoples games.

I love to play TF2 at the lan, but the fucking update has totally killed my game
I can't get past the MOTD screen to pick a class, the game just crashes, it seems this has been a problem in the beta client and they didn't even fix it and let it in the live code

Valve, why do you troll us, it seems every Respawn you decide to unleash major patch..

My main notes from TF2 at this event.
1- Round robins suck when played that late, and people are going to bed and forfeiting competitions because of the time.
2- Updates suck.

Other than that, a good tournament i think... Any feedback on the map choices?

Will try to get SourceTV's off deadman, mostly just because I want to see the way that Rangers played engie on cp_gravelpit

Hey, out of a matter of interest, how many players play a combination of CS:S, COD4, Flatout 2 and TF2?
Based upon this is when I will run the comp at next Respawn.
