ROLL UP, ROLL UP, The Awesome Cup #2's Sign Up's Are Now OPEN!
Trailer: http://youtu.be/xHjlxR_rmAs

With the success of the last Awesome Cup, we have decided to host one again. But this time, its bigger, better & louder with high stake's, high reward. For the teams that joined us for the last cup, you'll notice that this time we have done things a little differently. Allow me to explain.
The Awesome Cup#2 is a one day Highlander Cup event. Being hosted on Sunday, January the 26th 2014. Sign ups open on Friday 17th (today) and will close on Thurs 23rd.
Teams can sign up via the Team-Awesome! homepage over at http://www.teamawesomegaming.co.uk/
You'll find the Team Sign Up page under The Awesome Cup drop down menu.
It is being sponsored by the Team-Awesome! community this time, but we are hoping to one day get other sponsors behind it and get it in to an annual thing for comp tf2.
€270 for the winning team and €135 for the runner up, courtesy of T-A!
The winnings will be bank transferred to the leader of the team, he/she will then distribute it to their team however they like.
Here is a layout of the tournament: http://challonge.com/awesomecup2
Place holder names at the moment, but they will be replaced with teams once sign up's are complete.
It's a knock-out cup consisting of 24 teams. There are slots reserved for each etf2l division skill level to participate.
Ideally there will be:
2x Div6 Slots
2x Div5 slots
4x Div4 Slots
4x Div3 Slots
4x Div2 Slots
4x Div1 Slots
4x Prem Slots
But this all depends on what teams sign up.
We're trying to recreate the old legendary Community Fortress tournament, that everyone always talks of, still even to this day, as being one of the best tournaments ever for Europe.
Round 1 is a 'prove yourself' round. To give lowbie teams a chance to win the money and take on the big boys, you need to prove yourselves! Low teams will play each other to win in order to secure a slot. Higher division teams will get an automatic bye to the second round where they take on the proven lowbies.
This way every team entered gets to play for the chance to win the money and take the crown but we minimize potential rolls down to just 1 round, making a much more intense and harder to predict cup. Which is good for viewers... speaking of which! Extv will be casting the entire tournament live over on http://www.twitch.tv/extvesports
We're aiming to bring the best action to your screens so once you're knocked out, you can still enjoy the action!
And to add a little bit more fun to the spectating, I (Rob) will be hosting a betting service using tf2 metal which will be unveiled once sign ups close and the competing teams are set in stone. We've done this lots before and its a great way of getting you really involved and cheering for your chosen team to potentially win you some tf2 dosh.

Please note this is an EU tournament, any NA teams will have to play on EU servers at EU times.
Using the ETF2L Highlander Ruleset.
Its single elimination, so once a team is knocked out, its tough luck. The show must go on!
Each team gets a 10 minute default win rule apart from in the finals. Each team can only pause once, and the maximum time for a pause is 4 minutes. Failure to comply will result in your team getting a default loss and exiting the cup.
We have to be strict with times so that the cup is kept on time for casting purposes! Sorry!
So head over to http://www.teamawesomegaming.co.uk/ and sign your team up for a chance at winning The Awesome Cup!

Sorry to the teams that didn’t make it in to the cup, we honestly didnt think we would get as many sign ups as we did. Some teams are on standby incase other teams don’t show up.
I will be making a Steam Group soon for all team leaders to join. On the day of the cup before it kicks off at 5pmGMT/6pmCET all team leaders should join the group conversation. This will help for the cup to go much smoother as you can just hollah in the group chat with your questions and us admins will be on stand by.
Not sure which games will be casted by Extv as of yet. But there will be a cast of each round on a game.
Lastly, shortly ill be setting up the betting system for everyone to put their tf2 metal where their mouth is and have some fun. This will come soon.
All info on the cup can be found on our website via the Awesome Cup drop down on the menu.
Good luck guys!
