The plan currently is to try and reschedule as many of my matches as possible so they don't coincide with everybody else's matches, meaning I'll be available to admin about if needs be. However I do have a few friends helping me out with admin stuff as well in case that's not possible.

Edit: Misunderstood what you meant. My team is no different to everybody else's. We will still be posting results through the discord so everybody can see that I'm not posting fake results or anything. I understand there may be some suspicion about me doing that kind of stuff, but I honestly wouldn't bother buying 100 keys just so I could cheat my way to the finals to earn 30 of them back.

Also, gonna sign up my own team lol

Team name: Adamracek is the 13th class

I will never understand why this video has so many dislikes

Small Update Lads:

We have a small addition to the prize pool. Thanks to the very generous donations from Kuferl, the winners of the tournament, alongside the winner of the fragmovie competition will also be treated to a few reserved slots on the Kuferl.tf DM servers, so that any and all frags gotten throughout the tournament can be rewarded with more fragging practice.

On another note, it looks like it may actually be possible to have medals implemented in the game after all, however, I will need someone who can help me design the medals and can model them. I don't really know how to model, and I'm not too good at designing things either, so some help would be greatly appreciated. If you're interested in helping me out, or think you may know someone that would be, send me a PM on TFTV or add me on steam!

Cheers :)

I considered including other maps aside from baloo and koth during the planning of this tournament, however in the end, I decided that I didn't really want this to be a let's-try-something-new-and-see-if-it-works kind of tourney. I know that makes me sound like a dick, but there really haven't been any maps that have been as widely accepted by the ultiduo community as well as baloo and koth.

It is a shame though. I'd really like to see some new maps make their mark as actually good ultiduo maps that get played often. Grove got a warm-ish reception during the last ETF2L ultiduo tournament, but I felt warm-ish was not good enough if the goal of the tournament is to find the most skilled combo that signs up.

I would love to, but I'm not really too sure regarding how to go about doing that. However if there's anybody here interested in helping me out with that, I think it'd be awesome to have some medals to go alongside the actual prizes.

Matches will commence at 19:00 CEST onwards, however, teams will be given the ability to reschedule matches within reason :)

Precisely.

This leads me to the next best thing, as all signup donations will be going to the prize pool for:

Snack's Summery Ultiduo Siesta Fragmovie Competition
Once the tournament is done, all participants of the tournament are invited take part in an epilogue competition, deciding who can make the best fragmovies.

The rules for this are simple:
Get as many good frags you or your team have got in official tournament matches, and make the best dang fragmovie you can muster out of them. Participants will have 2 weeks after the tournament is over in order to submit their finalised fragmovie in order to get their hands on another fat prize, made up of all signup donations. If things go according to plan, the winner of this framovie competition will have a chunky 10 keys as prize money, as well as a 1 month Kuferl.tf DM Server reserved slot, as generously donated by Kuferl!

More announcements regarding the fragmovie competition will be made as the tournament's end nears closer.

fine by me :)
