Highlander Preliminary Divisions, Reminders, Staff Changes

Highlander Season 2 Tables

As some you may already know, we have published the preliminary tables for Season 2 here. These tables are NOT final, so teams still have the opportunity to request to change divisions by asking for an admin in our IRC channel (#etf2l @ quakenet.org). The deadline for requesting a division change is midnight on Saturday 17^th March.

On Sunday 18^th, tables will be finalized and teams must start scheduling their week 1 fixtures. Please note that a default dates will be set if the match is not scheduled by the Friday before the next week commences. Remember it is a lot easier to make an effort to talk to your opponents using the match comments, so that admins are aware of what days/times you can play on if your opponent fails to accept a schedule proposal.

VAC Bans

March 15th has been and gone, so our new policy on VAC bans is now in effect. If you receive a VAC ban that stops you from playing TF2, you will be banned from the league for 1 year. If you attempt to avoid this ban, you will be banned from the league for 2 years, with the length doubled further for each attempt made.

VAC bans that do not stop your account joining a VAC-enabled TF2 server are fine.

Banners

The deadline for entries into our Tt eSPORTS Banner Competition passed a few days ago now, and we’re happy to say we received well over 60 entries from over 40 different users – thanks!

We’ve spent the week looking over them all, highlighting the ones we like and making the tough decision of rejecting a few. Once we have the number of entries down to something more manageable, we will put those entries to a public vote. We will then pick the final winner from the most popular choices in the poll. Expect that poll to be out in the next few days!

Staff Changes

We are delighted to welcome 2 new admins to our Anti Cheat staff:

• schocky
• smZi

Who wants to be an admin?

There are not really any set periods of recruitment – we are always looking for new applicants to the admin team! If you think you have what it takes to be an admin, please drop us a line at [email protected]. We’ll do our best to reply to every application, whether it’s good or bad news.

• Your real name and/or ingame name
• Your spoken languages
• Why you want to be an admin
• Why you think you would be a good admin (any relevant experience or insight)

In particular, we would love to hear from any talented news writers and web coders out there!
