From my experience the issue was not that the matches were b03, but that the time was budgeted poorly. For the competition aspect, it felt more competitive to be able to pick/ban against each team so you have at least 1 map your team wanted to play. Playing a best of 1 can be frustrating - maybe the other team is just better at the map or they played better. B01 doesn't give the losing team a chance to adjust and make a comeback which is always fun, especially on LAN.

Similarly to last years LAN, I did not feel like there were enough breaks. While staying on the same setup was great, my team barely got any breaks to eat and were playing for the most part from 12 pm- 9/10m with minimal breaks. I was only able to take a break to eat by running out after one of our matches ended and, even coming back to the venue as fast as possible, was still not able to eat the food I had just purchased. At the same time, me running out delayed the start of the next match like 10-20 minutes. It's not realistic for teams to be able to complete a b03 in 1.5-2 hours; There will always be technical issues and other matches running late that delay the start time and end up snowballing to the later matches where teams are now starting 40 minutes late and having to play 2-3 matches in a row without stopping.

I think the suggestion of breaking up the pools into 3 days is probably the best solution. Other games like Smash Bros will run pools on Friday/Saturday and get to top 8 at the end of Saturday night. The only difficultly there is that players are forced to attend the venue earlier and it may make LAN less accessible if people are unable to come in mid day Friday to compete.

Sandbagging is bad, but moving up teams to a higher division and then having them die is also bad. RGL needs to incentivize moving up but that's not going to happen. There's no money in this game to incentivize players to strive for improvement and better placements. What's the incentive to move up divisions if you just have to face sandbaggers from the division above? Due to the nature of invite only having 8 teams, in the instance that invite qualifies run, there will be invite level teams in advanced who didn't make the cut. Why would a team with 1-2 class restricted players in main now want to play in advanced unrestricted if they are forced to move up?

Moving up divisions also requires a larger time investment for players. Scrims start at 10pm EST and can run past 12, making it difficult for East coast players to stay up. Teams in higher division also scrim 4+ days a week which is a large time investment.

In a game with a larger scene, sandbagging is not as large of an issue. Due to how small the total team count is in the higher divisions, sandbagging is a huge issue that needs to be addressed without disincentivizing players from competing.

Maybe trying disabling all overlays and see if that fixes anything (Mumble, Discord, Shadowplay). It could also be something weird going on with the windows game mode/xbox game bar.

I would try to also limit the amount of background applications running that could possibly affect tf2 performance.

Try running tf2/mouse software as an admin.

I had an unrelated issue with a different mouse and that was resolved by installing an earlier version of the driver so maybe that could help.

It could also be a hardware issue with Logitech mice. I'm not sure if Logitech programs have it but some mouse software has a built in sensor check to see how well your sensor is reading the surface. In general maybe some dust or something is messing with the sensor.

This is probably in no way the issue but a good check anyway - for some reason the game auto binds alt as a key that allows you to hold it down and walk with the mouse. I had a previous issue with my mouse because my alt key was getting stuck down so my mouse would randomly stop sometimes.

Another possible issue which is probably unlikely could be some weird electrical interference going on. It could be affecting the mouse signals. Even if its wired, the mouse might still have issues from interference unless it has one of these on it

It was indeed an era https://rgl.gg/Public/Team.aspx?t=11821&r=40

So are you optimistic or not?

If you're going to use default hud I recommend running Enhanced Default HUD or Improved Default Hud .

Otherwise you need to modify the hud elements in the tf/custom folder. It's a lot easier to do this after installing a custom hud because you wont have to make all the folders yourself. If you don't have the hud element files, download GCFScape. Use GCFScape to open the tf2_misc_dir.vpk file in your /tf folder - this is where all the hud elements are contained. If you're looking for a specific element to edit, I use this reference list

For the ammo background, you need to modify the HudAmmoWeapons.res file. In that file, you have to change the values under HudWeaponAmmoBG. Im not sure if the "visible" setting actually works so I just changed the xpos value to 9999 so it places the background off screen.

I have not actually changed the timer background but I'm guessing its in the hudobjectivetimepanel.res, maybe the TimePanelBG setting.

The biggest thing to remember when editing a hud is that you have to use the command in the console "hud_reloadscheme" to refresh the hud after any changes are made. The only way I know how to edit a hud is though trial and error by changing the value in the .res file, saving the file, then using hud_reloadscheme and seeing what moves around on the hud.
