There will be official wording on whats going on...we are gonna do our best with what is physically possible for users...

Dev is looking into it, sit tight

EDIT: Issue has been corrected

A CEVO-P match? What is this blasphemy

They MUST use the PCs and monitors we provide for the Friday event. There is an entire designated area that will be setup for this where these machines will remain throughout the weekend.

CEVO will be providing tournament PCs and monitors to the players ONLY during the Friday CEVO matches at this time

1) Only production staff, CEVO/GXL staff, premature LANers and CEVO players are allowed in early for Friday far as I know. This is obviously a no brain answer as these people are needed to start and run the event.

2) There is no special or designated time Friday for teams to leave the venue and check-in to hotels, however if you notice the schedule, there is select 2.5 hour gaps where teams will not be playing and can use this time to eat, nap, check-in to hotels, etc.

3) All CEVO players for Friday will be REQUIRED to play on the tournament PCs we provide for our LAN finals event. I hope and imagine GXL will be willing to allow these players who also brought their own setups to setup early before the 9am slot but only they have the authority to answer that.

4) Another question for GXL as seating right now is tight

5) We have considered this and we will bring this up in a meeting today. Perhaps we can have spec passes extended for Friday at 9am for those simply in attendance for that but again, not my decision.

6) See #2 and #3...hopefully GXL should allow these users to setup early as possible before the CEVO event itself kicks off.

Hope this clarifies most things, I will edit the post with the final answers I get from GXL ASAP

If you allocate the times as I stated, each bo3 sets aside 2.5 hours of time...double check, should be plenty of time for any bo3 in TF2 ;)

Only round not going to be covered is a Ro4 match in CEVO TF2 unless I can somehow magically find a rift in time and gain 2 additional hours in the day plus this is what is needed in order to share the PCs with the CSGO event schedule and run 3 matches at a time (both TF2 and CSGO).

I prefer not to make you guys play into 2, 3, 4am...as of right now, we are looking at a 10/11pm finish Friday with no problems

Patience and we will reply to you privately about it soon enough...but I would have no worries for your European team but peripherals are ideal and a must regardless as CEVO will not be providing those for anyone anyways

CEVO-P players themselves (that qualify for our event) are an exception for Friday and will not require a premature lan pass to play @ 9am. The 9am start time is a must and will not be changed....until I have the rest of the CEVO-P matches played...I can't setup your schedules....cough cough but it will be nearly identical to the CSGO one located at this bracket except both Round of 4 matches will be played at the same time and LB Round 1 @ 11:30am

(yes all TF2 matches for CEVO will be bo3)

Bumping this...left another reminder message/email in all your comms...6 matches left in all...get them done

Oh no......

In the meantime, if you already registered, and what Fragile said...get signed up on the CEVO site

Any issues, report them ;)

Newspost going live here shortly

First match next Tuesday...I guess I can set the first map as Metalworks if that works ;)

I don't want to be that admin/guy to do this, but this is unfortunately the reality of the situation and I have to lay it down thick
