So as some of you will have read I am hosting a 1v1 MGE tournament in a few weeks and I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter about classes/weapons.
My thoughts on the matter is that it should be Soldier only, and you can use whatever loadout you wish.
Now, this is a hindrance for people who main Demoman, or Scout so I want to hear your opinions on the matter. The problem is, a really good Scout will easily destroy Demo/Soldier most of the time, so we can't have mixed classes IMO.
Also, should I allow for more than 32 players, since it seems to be filling up quickly?
And what about EU/Non-US players? Since the server is based in NYC this will cause EU players to have a high ping, I haven't played against a lot of EU players but I have played against lagging players who skip around some times and inhibit my skill. Is this a general case when an EU plays on a US server? Or does it just give them the disadvantage?

no demoman? maybe you could have demoman if you use whatever plugin the tf.tv dm servers use to limit the stickies to 4.

I would allow soldier and scout. I think ur dreaming if u think a scout is going to win it but more power to them if that happens.
I wouldn't allow demo because stickies are retarded. If you make it pills only they will just lose. besides who even plays demo in MGE?

Alright, so anyone else think a Scout/Solly is a good idea?

they will just have a disadvantage, lag doesn't help for any of the classes listed

just gives them a disadvantage, and no demo please. I dont mind playing demos personally, but when theres a decent prize and people are playing to win demos are going to be able to play super gay

scout/solly is fine imo, honestly scout vs. solly on a balanced scout/solly map, the soldier really isn't at a advantage...

You should really have a weapon ban list when people are playing for money, otherwise you're going to end up with dumb stuff like reserve shooter on spire, or the myriad of dumb unlocks the scout has like mad milk, crit a cola, new shortstop etc.

I ping sub 100 to NYC and as playing scout its alright, unless you get loads of loss you shouldn't warp / teleport around, at least I never heard anyone complain.

From my 2v2 tournament, messaging 32 teams at the beginning was really rough at first. I got lucky since it was 2v2 i only had to message 16 people but even then it was really hard. Messaging 32 players is going to take a lot of time but if youre up for the challege of 64 then go for it.

Question. People seem to be saying the timing is bad. Besides school and such, why is 5 pm a bad time? Should we bump this time up and if so what time would be more appropriate?

Normally people are out of school by then, but people have homework and other plans around that time. Also 5 PM Eastern would completely eliminate the West Coast because they would have to be playing during normal school hours, this would also be the same for the Mountain time zone and would be very difficult for Central.
Most people are generally on TF2 by 8:00 - 9:00 EST. I feel that some time in between here would be better as you could get more people to participate in the event. As for the Europeans, it will be late (or early) no matter what time you start.

It's on a Wednesday icTus. And Mr_Perfect aren't matches for UGC and stuff around 9? So wouldn't that conflict? That was my main thought process.

I think you should move it to a Saturday... imo more people will be available? the way it's planned for might be coming between their scrim schedules? Or work/school schedules.

I work almost everyday besides Wednesday, if I'm not I'm pre-occupied with most other stuff to do this. Hence why I picked the day sadly :(
