As promised, the TF2 SoCal Series LAN is coming back for our second fun-filled event. We learned a lot from the first one and will be making this one run much more smoothly (I will personally be making sure that every single computer has TF2 ready to go this time, my bad boys!).

Once again production will be handled on site by dashner, and there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to make an appearance on stream for interviews, guest casting, and other silliness. Last time we also had many people show up without a team which resulted in the heartbreaking situation of a few people left in the dust with no teams. Please post below if you’re interested in playing but don’t have a full squad organized so that we can avoid that this time!

[b]What:[/b] TF2 SoCal Series LAN Tournament #2
[b]Where:[/b] Oomba LAN Center
24155 Laguna Hills Mall
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
[b]When:[/b] Saturday August 8th 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.

[b]How to Register:[/b]
Nominate a team captain and have them fill out this Google Form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LFA-9hmGKFTFQRw5ufyqozayIFq0f4Mp72tTSLe92wA/viewform
Have each player, or the captain send the entry fee of $20/player as a gift/friend/family payment through paypal to b4nnytv@gmail.com. You may also pay at the door for the event if necessary.

[b]Event overview:[/b]
6v6 Double Elimination Bracket
Prize pot (Assuming 5 teams like last time, potential to change depending on attendance)
1st - $240
2nd - $140
3rd - $120

[b]Format:[/b]
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.

[b]Map Pool:[/b]
Cp_badlands
Cp_Snakewater_final1
Cp_process_final
Cp_gullywash_final1
Cp_metalworks_rc7
Cp_Sunshine_rc8
Cp_logjam_b20
koth_viaduct_pro7
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!
