[b][size=16][color=red]ANY TEAM THAT SIGNS UP AFTER POST #107 WILL BE PUT ON THE BACKUP TEAM LIST.[/color][/size][/b]
Sorry, but space was limited. 64 teams is a lot though, and we're going to have a super fun event for you guys!

[i]WE GOT A SPONSOR. Mad shoutout to [url=http://trade.tf/]trade.tf[/url] for doubling (and potentially TRIPLING) our prizepot! More info soon.[/i]

[size=16]~$590 Prizepot without incentive, ~$685 with incentive.[/size]

So there is a shitfest ultiduo tournament going on right now, and I want to put on one that isn't shit. You guys deserve it after that. If you played in ESEA or CEVO last season, there's no buy in. If not, 1 key fee for your team (only one if one or both of you has no league experience).

[b]64 / 64 teams signed up[/b]

[size=16]Prizes provided by primarily by trade.tf[/size], along with AG, karabear, CJ-, kevinispwn, yaug, alkaline, and other members of the community. It's still possible to donate to the prizepot, send me a trade offer.
[b]1st- 50 keys[/b] + [i]200 dollars paypal[/i] + potential 20 keys if incentive is met
[b]2nd- 40 keys[/b] + [i]100 dollars paypal[/i] + potential 14 keys if incentive is met
[b]3rd- 20 keys[/b] + [i]40 dollars paypal[/i] + potential 8 keys if incentive is met

[i]More info on the trade.tf incentive soon![/i]

[size=16]update one (nov 16)[/size]
[list][*] Changed format from single elim to double elim
[*] Added specific whitelist
[*] Added info on how the brackets will be laid out
[*] Added banner to forum post
[*] Added team counter
[/list]

[size=16]update two (nov 17)[/size]
[list][*]For now, keep up with the updates I post on this thread. There will be a better way of communicating with the players soon, but until then it's nice to have an easy way of sending out info to everyone.
[*]When we get all 64 teams up, every player who's page is linked on this thread will be invited to a private steam group. It is required to join this steam group.
[*]I will post a specific date soon but please know that with a week, rosters will lock. Teams can have up to one backup, and that backup will have to be listed on this thread before rosters lock. If you edit your forum post after the roster lock you will get no backups.
[*][b]I will be as lenient as possible throughout this tournament. A few rounds in, I will start being a lot more relaxed with dates and communication issues, but to start please keep in mind I'll be working with 128+ people in the tourney and numerous volunteers. There's only so much bending I can do to accommodate people before the workload gets too big.[/b] If I ever come off as being rude to you when communicating about this event, please know that is never my intent. I've had 10+ chat windows open at any given time since a few hours after this post, so I'm trying to be concise as possible. :)
[*]Speaking of volunteers, I'm looking for a few admins. Requirements: be at least sort of almost known in the community (no randoms, sorry i don't have time to screen everyone), leadership experience appreciated, and lots of free time required. If you want to admin, please [i]PM me on tftv[/i]. Don't add me or anything, just [i]pm me on tftv[/i]. Use this form: http://pastebin.com/6AsTGRQG
[*]Lastly, I have a few people willing to put in money to the tournament. If you're also interested in sponsoring the tournament, please get in contact with me however you can. Keep in mind any keys, money, or other prizes donated to the event stack on to what's already there, so donate what you can if you're able.
