Don't mess with the scout or he'll 'Boink' your ass!

hey hey hey, I'm the scout here

Sounds like a plan. Heavy, Medic or Scout. I'm not a bad battlemedic, so I can do both offense and defence with it. Heavy's my main, and a scout is gonna be imperitive for CP games. I'm away this weekend, so Danny is temporary captain. If you want to sort a game, talk to him and get him to get it booked.

Yeah I think if we all have 3 class that we don't mind playing as (becasue we are OK with them) it should be fine

I think i'll be happy playing as any class... but specialties are probably soldier, heavy and medic

Be prepared to play as a class you may not be happy with

Tournament Rules (over the next 3 posts)

Round 1 (Round Robin) - On May 26th, we will be dividing all of the teams up into divisions. Each team will have to play 7 match-ups in 12 days. The 8 teams with the highest scores will move on to Round 2.

Round 2 (Bracket Elimination) - The Second Round will begin in the second week of June, with the day dependent on replay match-ups and potential disputes from Round 1. This will be a bracket round, in which winners will move to the next round and losers go home. The Final Match will be played in a "Best of Three" Round, playing 3 full different match-ups. The team to win 2 full match-ups first will be the Grand Prize Winner. The runner up game for 3rd and 4th place will be one match-up only but will be played during the same week.

# Third party applications that modify game play are not permitted. Teams found using them will be penalized at the administrators' discretion. External voice chat programs are ok.
# Scripts that use the available binds/aliases are ok. Anything that takes advantage of an exploit is not. If you think you might have to explain to us, in internet-rules-lawerese, why what you are doing is not a hack, cheat, or exploit, then it's better you not use it.
# Any team suspecting an instance of cheating should report it to tf2mods@escapistmag.com and include as much information as possile, like time, server, opponent, and description of event so we can easily find it in the logs. Screenshots, where appropriate/possible, would be highly useful.

Just to keep everyone up to date-

We'll announce the teams no later than Tuesday morning (EDT).[/quote]



EDT is -4 hours, so around lunchtime on tuesday we'll know for sure.



Also- I've put us down as 1700-1900 EDT to play our matches (which translates as 9pm-11pm real time).

Yay :D Everyone has confirmed, and everyone is in the group. Now we just have to sit back and hope that our name makes it into the competition

Practise anyone?

Ok, I've submitted the team to Escapist, so I need you to go on and confirm you're on the team, you'll have a PM in your inbox.

You'll need your SteamID to confirm it, it's written next to your name here.

Wordsmith STEAM_0:1:18159030
Mr Meatloaf STEAM_0:0:6288657
Gandhi STEAM_0:1:17382294
angelic dragon STEAM_0:1:22556632
Phoenix Arrow STEAM_0:0:19802995

Also, I've just seen this on the signup thread-

"UPDATE: Due to the impressive turnout in the number of teams, we're unfortunately going to have to apply an upper limit of 64 teams. The first 64 valid teams will be picked. If one of the teams drops out of Round 1 of the tournament without playing any other teams, we may contact the captain of any team that was not in the initial 64 to take their place."



So we need to move fast to secure a place in the tourney.



Happy shooting :D

What's our starting line-up by the way?
I'll play happily on all jobs except Scout and Heavy by the way.
