Thanks to the news written by Twiggy, you can find below the announcement of the Master Connexion 4 by TF2 Connexion.

Originally launched in 2012, Master Connexion is a series of original events designed to provide a fun TF2 experience a bit further away from the regular competitive formats such as 6s and Highlander.

Several themed evenings will be held during July and August to win generously offered prizes and glory! All of this for free, and open to everyone (with constant ping) !

What will we play?

There are 7 events planned so far, each with a different game mode :

Monday, July 13th : Ultiduo (2v2) on koth_ultiduo_r_b7
Thursday, July 16th : GG200 (3v3) on gg200_orange_x1

Monday, July 20th : BBall (2v2) on ctf_ballin_sky

Thursday, July 23th : Time trial on jump_adventure (3rd part of the map)

Thursday, August 6th : Scout deathmatch (1v1) on dm_whiskas

Monday, August 10th : Arena Respawn (4v4) (more info on maps later)

Thursday, August 13th : MGE on mge_training_v8_beta4b

Regarding formats, it will vastly depend on how many teams will show up for each event. So you can get everything, from a round robin to a bracket.
Who wins and what?

Finishing in the top 3 of an event earns you points as well as prizes.

For each event you can win TF2 items from the TF2Connexion backpack and points for the global ranking:

1st : 3 items + 10 points per player
2nd : 2 items + 6 points per player
3rd : 1 item + 3 points per player
Last place : 1 crate + 1 points per player (Woo!)

All other players will receive 1 point for participation.

Then at the end all events, the 3 players with most points will loot stuff :

1st : 3 steam games (see this list) + 10 items
2nd : 2 steam games + 8 items
3rd : 1 steam game + 6 items

What the hell are these gamemodes?

That’s a good question! To allow you to find out for yourself, TF2Connexion’s awesome partner mTxServ supplies public servers running Master Connexion’s maps!

Server 1 : MGE/BBall
Server 4 : BBall
Servers 7 and 8 : Scout deathmatch

Hot dog! How do I apply?

First, you create your TF2Connexion account. Then, you create a team, and select team type according to the event you’ll play in. If you want to play in multiple events, you’ll need multiple teams of different types. Unfortunately the TF2Connexion website isn’t translated to English at the moment.
If you want to help with that (or just complain), you can post your question in this topic. Happy summer !

Second tournament : GG200 - Thursday 16th, July at 21:00 CEST

Sign up link : http://www.tf2connexion.fr/league/register/index/id/90

Today, it's the 14tth July, the French Nation Day (named Bastille Day in english countries, isn't it ?).
This is why we organize a GG200 tournament because it is created by a french community (M&M's). The fun gamemode is played on 3v3.

Teams are limited to 3 soldiers each. They have to capture the 5 points in the orangex map to win a round.
For information, the gravity is low (sv_gravity 200 this is why the name of gamemode is GG200) and the whitelist is very specific (see below)

Game options :

Tournament format : We will be decided thanks to the number of teams.

Win conditions:
A match lasts 15 minutes.
To win a round, you need to capture the 5 map points If a team reaches a 5 point lead on a 5CP map, that team wins the map. Same result if one team has more round than the other.

If there is a draw, the team who captures the middle at the end of 15 minutes win the game.

Please feel free to contact us thank to this thread if you have any questions.

Sorry for the delay, we have discussed with TF2 Connexion staff concerning this rule.
If the ping is regular, it sounds good for us.

However, we have one question for you : Which tournament do you want to participate ?

Thank you Sideshow for the compliment.
TF2 Connexion, the french 6v6 league does since 2011, the Master Connexion (previously named TF2 Olympics Games in 2011 like the spanish TF2 event).
This year, our community (league and cups) accept players from Europe and they like very much our events.

Unless mistaken, french and american players can not play together due to ping.
Could, you, please try to play in french server and tell me if the game conditions of Bball are good ?
It seems like ~180.

Concerning the jump event, it is a time attack tournament and we will probably make a partnership with a TF2 jump community for booking a "time attack" server (plugin to time trials).

Please feel free to put your question in this topic.
