I am excited to announce a new TF2 SoCal LAN tournament series I will be organizing in association with Oomba Inc! This is the first of hopefully many bigger and better events at this location.

[b]What:[/b] TF2 SoCal Series LAN Tournament #1
[b]Where:[/b] Oomba LAN Center
24155 Laguna Hills Mall
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
[b]When:[/b] Saturday May 9th 2015 12PM noon PST
[b]Stream:[/b] www.twitch.tv/b4nny with Production by Dashner
[b]Price:[/b] $20, prepay PayPal gift/friend/family to b4nnytv@gmail.com, or pay at the door

This is NOT A BYOC. They have 32 high end PCs (with 144Hz monitors) that will be reserved specifically for tournament use. Just bring your keyboard, mouse, mousepad, headset, config, etc. if you prefer to use your own. Capacity is roughly 150 people, but the location is in the Laguna Hills mall so there should be plenty of room for spillover and plenty to do during any down time.

How to Register:
Please nominate a captain and send me a PM through teamfortress.tv with your 6 player rosters in the following format:

Event overview:
6v6 Double Elimination Bracket
$500 Guaranteed Prize pot
1st - $240
2nd - $140
3rd - $120

Format:
Double elimination, best of 3 format. First to 5, 30 minute halves. First maps will be set in the bracket, second map is picked by loser (after 2 map bans), third is a lottery if necessary. This hopefully guarantees everyone a fair amount of match time throughout the event. The bracket, with maps, will be populated once I start receiving signups.

Map Pool:
Cp_badlands
Cp_Snakewater_final1
Cp_granary
Cp_process_final
Cp_gullywash_final1
Cp_metalworks_rc7
Cp_Sunshine_rc7
koth_viaduct_pro6

You can bring the maps or download them at the event, so don’t worry about that.

I will be updating this thread with more information as the event approaches. Please post if you are interested in attending so we can get a rough estimate of participation. I am really hoping we can get enough for 4 teams for the bracket, but the more the merrier! Also please leave any questions or concerns below and I’ll try my best to answer them. Thanks guys!
