TF2 competition on hold

[Balti]

From BFCL: Please be advised that our first season of Team Fortress 2 competition has now been placed on hold and will be rescheduled to begin at a later date. Limited registration has resulted in a poor start and has made the recruitment of new teams a priority. We are expecting to announce the addition of dedicated TF2 managers shortly as well as the possible addition of several new teams which will allow for a sucessful restart of the season. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and watch for details here very shortly. We are determined to launch this competition as soon as possible.

A quick update for you:

Tactical Gamer look set to field a team - they've got 9 of their players signed up so far although some of them are more likely going to be subs.

Task Force Ranger are definitely deploying 2 teams we just need to figure out who's on which one.

CORE are definitely in but haven't let me know where they are with player numbers yet.

MyU and XA are a couple of clans that play on our server a fair bit and they've both been invited. We're waiting for confirmation from them at the moment.

With you guys that makes 7 teams so we should be fine to get things started in no more than a month.

That's good news...even though I don't play this game too much I was still looking forward to it. I know Pongo will sleep a little better now...lol. Thanks for the info...

Do you guys have any thoughts on maps you'd like to see added? In order to keep things simple (its our first time running something like this) we're heavy on CTI maps at the moment as they're both simple and scoring is dead easy.

Here's what we have so far:

mach4
2fort
turbine
cp_well
chaos
crossunder
impact

We were also throwing the idea of cp_warpath around our admin forum. Its big and can end in a draw but our scoring method allows for draws.

I like 2fort and cp_well. Turbine is one of my favorites, the others I dont think I've played.

Mach4 and chaos are small enough that they're easy to learn. Impact and crossunder are a bit bigger. All the maps are on our server and we'll get some download links together for all the participating teams so that they can get them installed.

[Tortelvis]

Looks like a good list. I am not sure if I have played crossunder, I'll have to check that one out. I think Warpath could be a good one too.

[Tombstone]

I will leave the server settings and map decisions to the guys that play the game alot. Just let me know when we practice, scrim, and when match nights are. Look forward to more TF2 as it is a blast.

Tortelvis - warpath is definitely being discussed. If it doesn't make it in this time we'll definitely add it to the next season.
