Servers

As announced previously, you do not need to have a server to play on for this cup. Servers will be provided by ETF2L. For the greater part, these servers are sponsored by n1ping. Once the fixtures are created, we will post the details of the server you will be playing on for the first round on the matchpage.

Guidelines

To make the cup process go smoothly, here are a few guidelines:

• Servers will be distributed after the fixtures have been created. Please keep an eye on your match page, the server information will be posted there.
• Please note: it can take a few minutes for the server information to be posted on the first round, as this is a manual process.
• If you are waiting for a server, and no post is being made, or your progress is being obstructed in any way, please contact an admin.
• Please have someone from your team in our IRC channel at all times during the competition.
• Please leave the servers as soon as you have finished the match and have taken screenshots.
• Please submit the results of your match ASAP after you have played the match. This is vital for the cup process.
• All servers have fast download enabled, but please have your entire team download the map beforehand. It can be downloaded from here: [Link]

Spectators

For those not playing (or those already defeated), we have set up a range of SourceTV servers and relays. Initially there will be 4 servers with 200+ slots and 4 servers with 50 slots. The rest will have 10 slots. We will try to assign the more interesting matches to the servers with more SourceTV slots. The sourceTV information will be posted on every matchpage, along with the server details. Don’t join the gameserver, join the STV server!

SourceTV servers will be re-distributed to the active servers during the process of the cup so there will always be enough slots.
