I think there are plans for a bigger, better tournament which imo would be the perfect "introduction" to Razer Arena for TF2. If we casted this 8 man practice tournament I think it takes some of the hype out of the bigger tournament with real good teams and competition. We should let this be a test for the system and how everything works, iron out bugs and give feedback, and prepare for a sick cup later on which will be the beginning of TF2 Razer Arena for real. My 2c.

Has Razer decided which ruleset they are going to go with? For right now Im just going to make a strawpoll
Personally, as much as I would prefer to have halves to 5 with 30 minute halves. It would require Razer developing plugins on their own/ running 3rd party plugins. Lets go with ETF2L :)

The practice tournaments are there for teams to test the platform. Additionally those teams that test can and should give feedback, where problems might have appeared, what could be done better or what should be added. So it is definitely desirable for teams to participate in the practice tournaments.
Once you test it you will find that a lot is indeed automated. I am not sure what exactly is in place yet, because I couldnt test it due to the major TF2 update and time zone problems. But if I understood it correctly the plugins are very similar to the ones used in ESEA. Including tracking stats, scores etc and afaik there's also an ac plugin.
I dont want to be appear rude, but this poll will have very little if any impact on the actual ruleset used for the razer arena tournaments. I am following the threads and discussions closely, but I have not decided if there will be a unified ruleset or different rulesets for each region.
I can say so much, its unlikely that I will use the NA system for the european tournaments.

So is this actually gonna be on the 4th of July? Not sure if many people from the NA scene will be available to play in the tourney.

The practice tournaments were set up before I got involved. But afaik they will be run every week.

I wonder if rocket jumping will be fixed by the time this goes down. If so I'm LFT.

ETF2L ruleset is better for tournaments, I think, so that individual matches last roughly the same amount of time

they can change that, I think it would be best if they were run every week on the same day

Looks like we've got 16 teams for the NA / EU games. Are the rules, etc. gonna be changed / finalized by tomorrow?

The games I played were pretty decent. We had a few problems that the admin said will be looked into, these being: The last player to join couldn't properly ready up, forcing the captain to do a forceready command. The black screen while dead. The win conditions. I think there also wasn't a proper whitelist (as in for us, the etf2l 6s whitelist), I'm pretty sure I left spawn with a bazaar bargain at one point.
Overall though it was a mostly positive experience and I'm looking forward to being able to play in more of the games in the future.
EDIT: I forgot to say that the website UI was pretty nice to use and worked well, the only downside I found was that there wasn't an actual connect string for me to paste into console. The connect button wouldn't work, I think that's a problem on my end though, but I was able to just join the server by connecting through a teammate on steam.

Ok, so, I had some last-minute roster changes, and I wasn't able to change my starting roster. As a result people could not check in and I had to forfeit my first match. Is there any way I can contact an admin or get help?

Okay we can't check in.
Just says "No gameplay servers are currently available for this match. The match has automatically been delayed 20 minutes. Please try again at that time."

If I understand correctly, you can't change players from backup to starter once check-in has started. This doesn't make any sense though, if someone if on the roster there shouldn't be a difference between starter and backup.

smiteeyWhat if eXtine tricked them into making it only arena respawn???
i literally laughed out loud lol. Thanks for that.
Also Razer starting a Team Fortress 2 tournament/competition makes me feel so excited for what is next for the TF2 competitive scene.

Bucakeso will this run through a razer (software) client in the end?
Just played a game myself, and from my understanding, since the site where you check in (same site that you sign up and join a team on), gives a connect prompt to join a server, you have to keep the window that you checked in on open in the background. Haven't confirmed that though.
