[i37] Sign up for the TF2 tournament!

Ok it seems we're going to enter the TF2 tournament. So that we actually have some people to play, we need to register our team and that team's players using clanforge, MPUK's tournament signup system.

To sign up, use the following steps:
*Go to the main iseries website: iseries.multiplay.co.uk
*On the right hand side of the website, look for the section named eSports, there are 3 links there, "Prize tournaments", "World Cyber Games" (no Nanor, not cybersex) and "Fun tournaments".
*Click on Fun tournaments, this should take you here: http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i37/tournaments/fun/
*Click on the "More Info" link for the Team fortess 2 section.
*Click on the word "signups" above the description, where it says "Signups are open now!" This will take you here: http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i37/tournaments/signup. (incidentally, there is a link on this page with the tournament rules and map list - if we want to practice, it might be worth getting a match server setup)
*Login with your multiplay user account. You will be presented with a screen containing a list of the prize winning tournaments, and saying that you are not entered for any of them (unless, of course, you have already ;)) There are 3 tabs, "Basic", "Prize Winning" and "Fun". Click the Fun tab.
*You will see Team Fortress 2 listed. In the drop down box, select us (The Haven Net) in the list and then click the Save button towards the bottom of the page.

Although there is still plenty of time between now and then, and we can still sign up at the tournament, I thought I would post this now. If you want to play in the TF2 tournament proper, you will not be able to play unless you are registered in that player list. The full list of teams and their players will be available much closer to the event.

If there are any other tournaments that you want to take part in, then the same signup system will be used so it might be worth familiarising yourself with the clanforge system beforehand :)

At i36 All unlocks were allowed, however there are restrictions on the amount of unlocks of a certain type that can be used.

  • Class Limits: 1 Medic and 1 Demo per team. Maximum 2 any other class.
  • All unlockables from each class can be used with the exception that only ONE scout in the team can use Sandman.
  • All games have to be played with no critical hits (tf_weapon_criticals 0)

Hrm, interesting.

Soldier is a pretty good second if you can't make the heavy work without crits.

I'm surprised that they're allowing 2 Engineers but maybe that's not a serious problem...?

Difficult enough getting normal pages to load over GPRS so I'll have to do my sign-ups later.

I would assume that with crits turned off then a gun which always crits will be pretty pointless. You *could* still use it, but... no :p

Kritz-krieg still works fine. You can get crits from other weapon unlocks, like the KGB, you just don't get any crits from the kills you're doing.

Meh, you need to have unlocked stuff to be viable? I haven't played it since they started adding all that.

I have no unlocks except Jarate and can still quite happily get lots of kills :)

Don't worry, if we come up against a pro clan we'll get screwed over whether or not they are using unlocks so don't worry about it too much

Ok I've removed myself from the THN TF2 team, instead I'm going to play in the CoD tournament with a bunch of guys I know from the last LAN.

:)

Don't worry if you want to sign up but haven't yet, there will be plenty of time to sign up at the event
