Looking for some folks to play practice games with, add me

Currently at 24 signups. Signups close tomorrow, don't miss this chance! :)

Would be really cool if we could fill 32 slots for a 5 round cup.

We also have our cast confirmed for sunday with shwan and milehigh.

Also, we will be using the full etf2l bball ruleset, this means 6 secs respawn and not 2, we decided to keep it this day due to the easyness of setting up servers for the cup using this ruleset, otherwise the servers required sourcemod to use the 2 secs respawn

We are currently at 28 signups and with 4 people that added me but are offline so possibly we will be filling the full 32 slots for a 5 round cup. We will probably end the sign ups when we reach the 32 slots to keep the brackets tidy. So if you want to join I would advise to be as fast as possible and I can't guarantee anything now if those teams that are offline talk to me meanwhile.

Looking for final feedback on the map aswell, is it good for you guys? Anything you would like fixed or improved before the cup?

I think it should be named ctf_bball_comptf (like the other 10 bball maps), not ballin. and the hole in the backboard is a bad idea. if you do manage to shoot someone through it, it will just be lame cause it means you were net guarding. I haven't tried the map yet so I'm not sure about the fence (its different materials from bball2, and it appears taller in the screenshot). The hole in the ground makes the map asymetrical (which is inherently not a good thing for comp) but I don't really care it's just cosmetic, and the caution tape is fine its just looks.

Thanks for the feedback. I talked to x_dias yesterday and he is kinda busy making his Beginnings 2013 (the jump competition) map so I'm not sure if he will have the time but if he has time to update it before the cup I will tell him about these issues. Personally my bigger "pet peeve" about the map is the quality of the comp.tf logo :D which is a bit pixelated, but yeah I agree with you on most of that stuff

Also we have reached 30 signups and possibly will have more than 32 signups, I just need to decide whether to stop at 32 signups and put teams in waiting list or make a another round beyond 32 signups with a lot of byes.

What a fucking douche mike said he wouldn't play. Top rude.

The map is pretty much just a reskin of ballin_sky, it's prettier but if that's all you're going for you could have made it even prettier hah. No complaints really.

Please try to work out 2 seconds respawn. 6 seconds is a completely different (and significantly worse) game.

I can't. Unless you give me 16 servers for players for the first round...

Not everyone has a server much less a server with sourcemod or bball 2 sec respawns installed. We stuck with the etf2l rules because they're much more easy to work with.

This way if a team doesn't have a server I can borrow one from a friend that set up some for me, or they could also use serveme.tf which works with the etf2l config and normal 6 secs respawns.

It's a logistics issue not a gameplay preference. If I could, I would, but I dont even have 7-8 servers, much less 16 servers that we can set up for the cup.

Signup wise the cup is being a huge sucess, we have already filled the 32 slots and I already have 2 teams in the waiting list, now I am contemplating opening more spots (albeit it will make for some really weird first round brackets), so if you wanna give it a try add me and if theres enough interest apart from these 2 teams in the waiting list we might open more spots.

edit: we decided to open more spots, feel free to add me if you still want to sign up

35 signups currently

last few hours for signups, add me if you want to enter the cup

I wait and wait for bball cups and when one happens i miss it cause im a stupid piece of shit.
please tell me there will be more of these :'((((

Yes, but not soon really :D it takes a lot of work and preparation for each cup so its not something I am able to do very regularly.

However it was posted on etf2l, tftv, and even a vanilla article, how did you not notice it? :D

cause of school and such i haven't been on any forums lately.
but x-dias sent me a link to this and i never saw it until today lol(reason why im a stupid piece of shit).
ah well i ain't that sore,ill just keep the though of the next cup in mind to soothe me.
thanks for organizing this,the vods will keep me entertained for a few hours :)
