Last day for signups! I’ve somehow managed to convince the folks running production at TFTV to host grand finals for us, so all winners are going to be on the big screen tonight at twitch.tv/teamfortresstv!
It was requested that a slightly more specific ruleset should be put in place, I’ve updated that on the initial post. Good luck to everybody participating, and I hope you’re all able to come watch!

is this supposed to be a secret or is it a mistake

theres a possibility sharks could be the deciding factor for first place

Update: The map pool
With the tournament steadily approaching, the maps have been decided for the pool. The maps are going to be:

• ctf_bball_hoopdreams
  
• ctf_ballin_comptf
  
• ctf_ballin_skyfall
  
• bball_tf_v2

Downloads for the maps can be found here.
If you have any questions regarding format, you can add me at the link in the description

pee soda: i would drag my balls over 7miles of broken glass just to hear miss pauling fart through the contracker

you could theoretically change a button you don't use to open console instead.
head to your gamemenu.res file and look around for something you don't use, like the streams button or the in-game store (who uses either of those) and hijack it for the console
change the command to something like "engine con_enable 1;toggleconsole" and it should work pretty easily

Match times will be kept to a fairly strict schedule so we can get as many of our early matches out of the way as possible. That said there will be bye rounds and a 10-25 minute period of wiggle room for teams dependent entirely on turn out and how many servers we can get. If there is a period of time your team absolutely cannot play contact the admin team on discord before the bracket is created and we can try and work around it.

probably the biggest unknown factor of the past 2 years
fantastic DM, always chill, and has pretty incredible insight in the game. great pickup on either flank or combo

When?
Matches will begin Saturday, April 25th at 4PM EST. This NA tournament will be run on a swiss bracket, finals will be BO3 hosted on twitch.tv/teamfortresstv.

What?
This is a free tournament being run by me with bball.tf. The tournament will mainly be run out of the bball.tf Discord server and announcements will be continued both there and in this thread. SIGNUPS ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED AS OF NOW.

Format?
Bball is a 2v2 soldier only CTF game mode where only stock weapons are used. The goal is to either score 25 points or the highest point value by the time the game ends.

What if I win?
First place wins 25 keys, second place wins 14 keys, and third place, decided in a bronze match, will be winning 8 keys. If you want to raise the stakes, donations towards the prize pool can be done at steamcommunity.com/id/ntlrz.

Rules
Anyone is free to register and participate. We ask that you refrain from controversial aliases/language while participating, and that you show up to matches on time. Being more than 10 minutes late for any given match will result in a disqualification from that round. In-game sportsmanship will be expected as well, including the avoidance of cheese strats like shotgun jumping, goaltending, and stalling.

Update
With the tournament steadily approaching, a map pool has been decided. The maps are down below, and can be downloaded here.

• ctf_bball_hoopdreams
