You might or not be aware of a cup we (comp.tf) are sponsoring:
http://comp.tf/wiki/Comp.tf_Newbie-Only_6v6_Cup or here

It's not only 1 cup but 2 cups, one for NA teams and another for EU teams. It will start tomorrow at 3PM EST and 3PM CEST respectivelly.

I got in contact with tf.tv and vanilla but for whatever reasons they stated the cup won't be covered by them, but I (and the rest of my team) have worked far too hard for this cup and these newbies to not have the cups casted/streamed, at least the finals.

While reviewing the cup applications I got really happy with the amount of completly new players, and I would say they deserve something like this for them. I know if I happened to be in their situation I would have loved it.

Anyway, if you are interested in streaming / casting this event tomorrow, add me on steam to discuss or simply post in this thread. We could go over more details later. If I can't get the whole thing streamed (which I honestly doubt will happen) I wanted to at least get the finals or the later round streamed for both cups.

EU applications are done with. So all applications are reviewed.

Cup Numbers:
24 teams for the EU cup
22 Teams for the NA cup

Official Page for the NA cup:
http://comp.tf/wiki/Newbie-Only_6v6_Cup_NA

Official Page for the EU cup:
http://comp.tf/wiki/Newbie-Only_6v6_Cup_EU

If you received an add for me make sure to accept me. I added every team leader.

Pending Teams:
ALso there are 3 pending teams for the NA cup (eu cup has no pending applications) so if you are one of those 3 teams get in contact with me.

Brackets:
As for brackets, they will be randomly seeded on challonge and posted later tonight or tomorrow morning on the respective cup page.

Servers:
For the NA cup we have arranged a great sponsorship from Mawr servers which will be providing all the servers for the cup + the winner's server. We will have 10 servers available: 4 Chicago, 2 Atlanta, 2 Dallas, 2 LA.

These will work on a first come first server basis, and each team leader should add the other team leader and agree on a server location and request it to me as soon as possible.

For the EU cup, we weren't able to ultimate details and we are making a last minute decision. If you have a server you can use your own server, otherwise we recommend using http://serveme.tf/ to rent a server for the match time (please do it in advance so all servers are not taken). This site is very straightforward and easy to use but if you have any question contact me. Also in last resort you can reach me for a server if there are no servers available on serveme.tf

Maps
Maps will be the same as ETF2L s15 / ESEA s14 respectivelly except all maps will use the most updated versions (apart from snakewater)

Ruleset and Whitelist
NA cup whitelist will be the same of ESEA s14 MINUS the Quick Fix
NA cup config will use ESA Cups config as we dont have our own client like ESEA and ESA cups used NA rules.

EU configs and whitelist have changed and will be the same as this next season (s16 etf2l) , we changed it because serveme.tf doesn't support last season configs.

Any question add me on steam or post here.

Little Update:

EU appplications are halfway there. missing about 15 teams, should be done until tonight.

Also for more info on maps / brackets / times / servers, etc, go here:

Here for the EU cup page
http://comp.tf/wiki/Newbie-Only_6v6_Cup_EU

Still missing brackets on both (will be released today night or tomorrow morning) and the EU cup page is still missing application status and team profilesm, will be added after I finish the 15 applications.

Meanwhile every team leader should accept me if I add them, I added lots of people who didn't accept me or couldn't reach them, its really hard to keep track if you dont show a bit of interest as well, and as you can imagine, it's really hard to chase down 60+ team leaders all by myself

Its a missing texture error, basically he's using a custom xhair on a sv_pure 2 server I guess

After 6-7 hours NA Cup applications are sorted :D

26 Confirmed teams
3 Applications still pending
3 Applications denied

More info here:

Brackets etc incoming tomorrow

Now onto the EU cup applications. Should be a lot less time consuming since ETF2l is much more straightforward to check for player experience. Will try to have it done by tomorrow afternoon

We have arranged a sponsor for the servers, that will be announced tomorrow. Also we have been in talks with vanillaTv and tf.tv for the coverage of the event.

Not sure it will happen or both will cover it but I am trying my best to make it happen, if it does not happen I absolutely still wanted to get it casted and would love to have some other community members step in.

There are currently 5 teams signups for the NA cup pending because of some details, i have been adding every team leader to talk them through this issues

If you see your team here: http://comp.tf/wiki/Newbie-Only_6v6_Cup_NA as pending, get back to me ASAP, I want to get it done with by tomorrow morning

man you gotta be some kind of wizard to develop this in 10 mins :D

I meant I finished it in 10 mins, it's a very early test version tho, hence I said dev version
