Hunter & Lucas eSports club in Toronto has expressed interest in seeing what the competitive TF2 community has to offer. They have provided us with the opportunity to host a small TF2 tournament on the Labour Day weekend. I'm looking forward to this event, as we have waited a long time for an opportunity to host another TF2 tournament in Canada!

[b]Directions via TTC[/b]

[B]From Yorkdale Station/Line 1 Yonge University:[/b]
Follow these directions if you are taking GO to Yorkdale. If you are coming from Viva or any bus that stops at Downsview or Wilson Stations, you can go south to Yorkdale and take the bus Lansdowne Bus.
Take the 47B Lansdowne via Bridgeland south to Bentworth Ave. and walk west (The 'no exit' side of the intersection)

If you are coming from a station along the Yonge side, north of Lawrence you should take a bus westbound to the western station (Lawrence West, and so on). South of Lawrence Ave., you could take a bus west from the station to Caledonia (North of St. Clair), or Lansdowne (South of Davenport).
(This probably sounds weird and makes no sense, but it makes sense to me, and I have a visual map in my head. Either way, it's still probably a good idea to look up directions on Google Maps and the TTC website just to make sure)

[b]From Lansdowne Station/Line 2 Bloor-Danforth (Or anywhere downtown):[/b]
Follow these directions if you are coming from Union Station, anywhere in the downtown area, or along the Bloor line.
Take the subway to Lansdowne Station (Make sure you picked up a transfer). Take the 47B Lansdowne via Bridgeland north to Bentworth Ave. and walk west (Again, the side of the street that has a dead end).

[b][h]General FAQ[/h][/b]

[b]Where can I buy my ticket and register?[/b]
We are at capacity. I have closed the registration form.

[b]Is this event BYOC?[/b]
We are renting PCs from Hunter & Lucas, so you will not have to bring your PC.

[b]Can I bring my own peripherals?[/b]
[s]The desks have to be unlocked by the venue staff in order for personal peripherals (i.e. headsets, keyboards, mice) to be used. Avoid bringing peripherals, or we will risk unnecessary delays.[/s]

You can bring your own peripherals. There are hubs behind the monitors. (I went today and played TF2!)

[b]What's the capacity?[/b]
There are 12 PCs booked, and currently the tournament is planned for 4 teams.

[b]Is there is an age restriction?[/b]
No. You can go if you are under 18 without any issues.

[b]How will seating work?[/b]
The venue has custom-built computer desks and are placed in groups of 4 or 5. As a result, one or two of your teammates will have to sit further from the rest of the team.

[b]Is there a hotel near the venue?[/b]
The nearest hotel would the [url=https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/toronto/yyzty/hoteldetail?qRef=rr&qDest=3450+Dufferin+Street+Toronto+On+Canada&qRpn=1&qChld=0&qSrt=sBR&qSHp=1&qSmP=3&qGRM=0&qSlH=YYZTY&qRms=1&srb_u=1&qAdlt=2&qPSt=0&qFRA=1&qRtP=6CBARC&qCiMy=082015&qHtlC=YYZTY&qrtPt=162.95&qCoD=07&qCiD=06&qCoMy=082015&qRmP=K.O.T.X.C&qRRSrt=rt&qRpp=12&qBrs=6c.hi.ex.rs.ic.cp.in.sb.cw.cv.ul.vn&qWch=0&icdv=99618783#]Holiday Inn - Yorkdale[/url], which is very close to the 401, and Yorkdale Station.

[b]*new* Food info:[/b]
I have been told no outside food or drinks allowed in the venue. However when you come, you will be given a "meal ticket" which is good for a burger and a pop.

[b][h]Tournament Info:[/h][/b]

[b]Format: 6v6[/b]
There are currently enough people for 4 teams. There will be a round robin for seeding followed by either single or double elimination depending on timing, and a best of 3 grand final.

All matches up until the grand final will be EU rules: Difference of 5 points, or 30 mins. Should there be a tie, golden cap will be played. If a team does not win a round in 10 mins, the win is awarded to the team controlling the mid point.

We will use the ESEA S19 Whitelist.

[b]Map pool:[/b]
cp_process_final
cp_badlands
cp_granary_pro_b10
cp_snakewater_final1
cp_sunshine_rc8
cp_gullywash_final1
koth_product_rc8

(I'm keeping it to 5cp only because I have to pretty much customize and install the configs myself. I would rather not make a koth one for just one koth map)

[b]Will there be any prizes?[/b]
The current prize pool is:

1st place: Box of cookies + $10 gift card to Canada Computers + 1 key
2nd place: Box of cookies + 1 key
3rd place: Box of cookies + 1 key
4th place: Box of cookies + 1 key
