First of all, I just revamped our logo and everything related to our wiki will try to follow the style of the logo. Hope you like it and it looks more professional than the old one!
Let's start with a small introduction. Comp.tf appeared in it's final form (a wiki) July 1st. To commemorate 1 month of existence and give back all the amazing support and help I have received I decided to sponsor some stuff in line with comp.tf goals. It will be a win-win situation for everyone

, and will help us reach a critical audience which is newbies, people that are starting in competitive tf2 and which are one of the main targets of our site, as well as promoting our wiki in general.

So, to start off we will be hosting a 6v6 Newbie-Only Cup.
1 cup for NA teams and 1 cup for EU teams
>> What is Newbie 6v6? <<
Newbie 6v6 is the normal 6v6 competitive format, only played with people new to the competitive metagame, it is used as an introductory level to competitive 6v6.
>> Rules <<
No maximum sign-ups
>> Cup Format <<
Double-elimination or Single-elimination, not decided yet, depending on the number of signups
Bo1 until the semi-finals (this means only 1 map per match)
Bo3 in the finals
>> Cup Date <<
15th September 2013 (Sunday) - Official match times to be decided depending on the number of sign ups.
We intend to start early in the afternoon, probably around 3pm (CEST and EST respectively for the EU and NA cup) and finish before 22:30 (CEST and EST)
>> Sign Ups close <<
13th September 23:59 GMT (01:00 CEST) (19:00 EST)
>> Rulesets, configs and maplist <<
NA tournament will use ESEA S14 ruleset and maplist
EU tournament will use ETF2L S15 ruleset and maplist
>> Player Restrictions <<
No ESEA experience
No ETF2L experience above div6
Maximum of 1 season ETF2L 6v6 experience on div6, and can't have placed above mid-table
Maximum of 1 season UGC 6v6 experience on Steel maximum
Maximum of 1 season experience on any other leagues on the lowest 6v6 division of that league (ex: wireplay, etc...)
No Highlander experience restriction is set at the moment for this cup but use your judgment wisely, no team made-up of platinum-only HL players will be allowed in the cup.
>> Exceptions <<
Since the original cup date has been postponed from 18th August to 15th September every team that has signed up so far will not suffer the 1 season max experience restriction for any season that started after the original cup date (ie: UGC new 6v6 Season starting early September), other restrictions still apply to these teams
Teams are allowed MAX 1 player per team with:
UGC 6v6 experience on Silver division of 1 season maximum
UGC 6v6 experience on Steel division for more than 1 season
ETF2L experience on div6 for more than 1 season or placed above mid-table
The player in question covered by the player restrictions exceptions should be mentioned on the notes area of the application form.
Each application will be manually reviewed to prevent abuse.
Any teams that do not obey these requisites are subject to have their application denied
These restrictions are in place to ensure this stays a newbie-only cup.
Any teams that have experienced players that do not obey the requisites or are found using alts will be disqualified. If it happens mid-tournament the team will be disqualified and the last match played will be changed to a default loss.
>> Prizes <<
For the 1st placed team in each cup (NA and EU cup):
3-months server
6 keys (to be given to the team leader after the cup)
>> Sign-Up <<
You can sign up for the tournament HERE
Note: If your team doesn't exactly obey the player restrictions above but you think you should be able to play, use the Notes area on the application form and explain why you should be allowed to play and we will review your case.
Suggestions and Discussion
Use the discussion page or post here if you have any suggestion for the rules or the tournament in general, we are receptive to criticism and suggestions.
Keep in mind it's the first time I get myself into something big like this, I expect a lot of headaches but I also accept help from people that have had experience running stuff like this, so if you want to help me out or give me a few tips feel free to add me on steam.
I am accepting sponsors for the servers, at the moment I'm planning on paying for 2, 3 months server prizes myself, but if someone is willing to donate servers or even money to the prize pool I'm open to offers. Just add me on steam to discuss.
Also interested in getting the event casted. Will see how it goes but I will definitely be contacting some people to know if it's doable.
Now, you thought the big news were over? You were wrong.
We have 2 more contests!

If our steam group reaches 2000 members we will be raffling away 1 Unusual hat to a random member of it.
So make sure to join and invite all your friends! :)

We are giving away another unusual hat even rarer and with a new effect to the most valuable member of our wiki until September 15th, the winner will be announced after the last cup final is disputed. A little incentive to get some more content on our wiki. The prize winner will be decided at our staff team discretion

Amazing thanks to joshi who donated these 2 unusual hats! I am still accepting donations both for the cup and contests prizepool, server / items, whatever donations are welcome :)
If you can pass the word about this tournament and contests I would really appreciate it! We need to get the maximum number of people involved.
That's all for now! As I said above, if you think you can help me out, or even give me some tips, just add me on steam and we'll talk.
