Hello all! We're now on track again to start up bball.tf. Until that date, we decided to put on bball tournaments every other week for all skill levels. The plan is to have at least 3 divisions for each of the tournaments. We have one person streaming the games so far, but are looking for more. We are working to get a common overlay for you to use if you wish. We have huge plans for bball.tf and really hope we can culture a deeper appreciation for the game mode and enjoy some tournments!
First tournament date: Aug 2 starting at 7pm central time
Where: bball.tf mumble 69.65.40.33:2087
Prizes: 1 key per person on winning team for each division
Link to sign up!
As for some bball.tf news in general. We ready to go full steam ahead on the site. As of now, we have Pierre leading the website development with a team of others who plan on helping. We're hoping to get most of the website done by the time of TotH and hosting the bball section (fingers crossed). In the meantime, I have set up a makeshift placeholder website to use until we have the full website completed. As for the ideas at this stage, we're planning on
- Full season of 3 months with weekly games to be completed by Sunday of each week with a playoff bracket following
- Some form of lobby style pickup games
- Configured servers provided for both
- Tutorials
- Integrated stats and ranking system
- List of streamers/integrated twitch
These are just the starting ideas, I have a short survey set up for the website to gauge interest and decide what to focus on. One question I have for the community. I would like to find some way to stream a server automatically through stv. I'm not sure if this is even possible but I'm hoping someone knows. Thanks!

Assuming this is NA only?

At this stage it is US only, but if you are from elsewhere, please sign up to show intent. I would like to purchase servers for Australia, Asia, South America, and possibly Europe. This is all depending on how many people we can get per region. If there are enough people that want to play, I would most definitely provide a server

I have had a bit of feedback from people not able to find teammates for the tournament. I have 2 solutions for this.
If you want to pick your own teammate, there are forums up on the website (only thing weebly would allow is 3rd party forums, yuck) and one on the steam group here.
The second solution is that you sign up without a teammate, note your division, and we will pair you with someone else who has signed up without a teammate. If you sign up without a teammate and end up finding one, just add me or fill out the form noting that you don't need to be paired.
Hope this helps! I'm excited to get this going!

Had a casual 2v2 bball mge session for like an hour and a half, reminded me of how fun the game can be when you're just chillin'.
Looking forward to a great tourney, and potentially a full-fledged season!

Alright fine, I thought it looked cool and didn't think it would be an issue for most people. It's now removed.
However, the tournament is today in about 5 hours! Everything is ready to go and figured I would post some general information with links to make it easy.
Sign ups are still open until 6pm central. I will post a schedule of servers after 6pm.
Brackets are up for each division, just follow the links for your division
Mumble has been set up with seperate channels for each team
This is starting at 7 pm sharp, you may not play first, but please be present in mumble so we can get you checked in.

Seemed like a great event. Props to the organizers.
Too bad those euros completely destroyed everyone though.
