Noted - consider weapons pickups disallowed.

If the website is causing performance issue for you in game, please close it down. You can always make your way back to your match lobby at the end of your match or should you need assistance. If you need assistance while in game you do not need to come back to the site, though. You can simply type .admin and I will typically respond via game chat relatively quickly.

Admittedly, the site could use performance tweaks it is on the to-do list.

I will be looking into why the ready menu would stay open after the match has gone live. As you have already discovered, you can close the ready menu at any time by pressing 0. If you need to reopen it you can do so by typing .readymenu.

As soon as it is indicated whether weapon pickups will be permitted or not in the main leagues we will follow suit. There was a lengthy discussion on this topic a while ago and it was made evident to me that I should not restrict it. If it is determined that weapon drops / pickups are not desired we will remove them via configs.

Double elimination has been completed and we are working on swiss now. We need to find someone to run DE events; we most likely will run some ourselves, but not for these Frag Fest cups. I would like to keep them achievable within a day. It wouldn't be possible to run a 16 team DE in a few hours.

Nevertheless, be on the lookout as they will be ran soon enough.

We have fixes in place for the pause that make it smooth and buttery. :P

These fixes also include limitations to the quantity and duration of pauses per match.

I would hope that we can have said fixes in place for Sunday's matches.

With regard to the class limits, I understand the argument for taking it off. This platform (Razer Arena) is being setup for multiple organizers, we have to address match management with as much automation as possible. We don't want to bog down organizers with disputes which require them to review demos and count the number of scouts at 20 minutes into game. I personally never want to do this and I don't want another organizer to have to do this either.

If there is a legitimate reason why having class limits hard set is wrong, I will certainly hear it out. From what I understand it seems that what is wanting to be achieved can be easily accomplished with a different set of actions that take very minimal time.

With that said and with the requirements we have in place for the platform I see no reason to remove the class restrictions.

I definitely realize the issue with the seed positions in the bracket. Dev team has been notified of it and are working out a fix.

There are 8 each planned for Sunday and Wednesday. This coming Sunday will be 7 of 8 and next Wednesday will be 7 of 8.

Will be looking at extending these if at all possible.

Honestly I see no reason to remove the class limits. If they are expected in the format why not just enforce it config side rather than relying on everyone to adhere to it?

Testing completed, thank you all that helped. We are looking into why the ready menu is not working as intended and requiring the use of .forceready every match.

Trying to test here in a couple minutes. Need 1 more person.

Hey guys, I am need of volunteers for testing the TF2 mod. We need about 10 people. Preferably in the NA region unless you don't mind a bit of latency.

Marten,

Sorry for the confusion on that one. Glad it is cleared up though! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Last Wednesday, August 19, the second place winner was The Last Resort. (I assume that is the team you play for.)

I had sent out two emails to every member of the team last week. The payment for that event has already been sent out.

If you need to carry this conversation further please reply to the email I sent with the subject line Razer Arena - Gaming Grids Frag Fest - EU TF2 8/19/15 - The Last Resort.

Thank you

Thanks for the information on that issue Dex - I have notified the Dev team and a resolution should be in place very soon.

With regard to contact. I will send an email requesting necessary details to get the prizing to your team. I will be using the emails associated with your Razer ID, be on the lookout I intend to have them sent out by end of day.

Thanks!

Laughing has a good point. This I think would be a great opportunity for those that were hesitant to join due to prem teams.

On a similar note, as I am sure all of you are already aware.. Buttnose has worked hard to put together an event void of those prem teams.

Big thanks to Buttnose for stepping in and lending a hand with Razer Arena events!
