What's this?Hello all. As you have probably guessed, it is now officially Nov. 1st (EST) which means it's time for this months holiday festivities and pastimes!
And no, not actually football.
Are you a fan of Valve's Team Fortress 2? Do you and a group of friends or forum members have what it takes to compete against other players? Do you know 8 other people willing to form a team with you for the chance of glory?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then perhaps you'd be interested in our first annual Turkey Bowl. A TF2 double elimination tournament with the chance of real world prizes!*
*
Prize will most likely be a real cup trophy with your user name engraved on it. This is, after all, only internet glory.How do I join?There are a maximum limit of twelve teams and minimum of six.
To join you must post that you want to be a team captain. In order to be a team captain you must already have at least two other members on your team (if not the full nine). If you wish to play but do not know anyone else to play with, find a team captain who is short on members and join their roster.
Come up with a team name.
Your team will only be added to the official list when you have 8 members and yourself, each of which may play as one and only one class type (meaning you must have exactly one of each class type per team). This is also known as Highlander mode.
When is all of this happening?The schedule is thus:
Thursday Nov. 1st to Thursday Nov. 8th (1 week) - Teambuilding. Use this time to construct a nine man team to join the tournament. On Nov. 8th a minimum of six and maximum of twelve teams will be added to the brackets. That will be the last day to sign up for this, you have a week. Go.
Monday Nov. 12th to Sunday Nov. 18th (1 week) - The initial games. This will be a week of live broadcasted games (livestreamed with your host and commentators, myself and NicktheSushi, aka TheDoktar) set to your schedule. They will be no earlier than 3'o'clock PM and last no later than EST to 10'o'clock EST (the weekend, of course, will be much more flexible). Let us know when you and your team are best able to compete. You will get one rain check if you're unable to attend your set match time. TF2 games do move rather quickly, so it is possible we could get all of these games done over a weekend. However, we'd like to use the whole week if possible to make it less chaotic. The games will work as such: Best two out of three games. The first game mode and map will be randomized. The winner of the first round gets choice on second map and second game mode. If they lose that round, the other team has a the same choices for the tie breaker
Thursday Nov. 22nd (Thanksgiving) - Turkey Bowl! The last two remaining teams (after given three days to either rest or practice or what-have-you) will compete in the final best 3 out of 5 games for the final glory of being named the Turkey Bowl Champs and you and your team will receive a prize each.
