Season 2 Sign-Ups-Date and more…

2^nd Cup – 1^st Round

Our 2^nd Cup started on Sunday evening with the only Norwegian ETF2L team Quack Attack challenging the probably best team in Europe at the moment, Four Kings. Our Cup & League titleholder could get a clear win over the newcomers (well 8:0 | badlands 5:0).

We are happy many games already scheduled and entered in the Calendar, but most of them are still missing. Please try to contact your 1^st Round Cup opponent as soon as possible. After game is scheduled one team leader has to enter the date in our Calendar. If you have problem contacting your opponent, please open a thread in our Challenge Forum.

—> All 1^st Round Games have to be scheduled and entered till coming Sunday, 9^th March.

—> All 1^st Round Games have to be played till next week’s Thursday, 13^th March.

Season 2 – Sign-Ups-Period

As we get more and more questions about it, here are the Season 2 Dates (can probably still change):

—> Season 1 ending: 18.03.2008

—> Season 2 Sign-Ups open: 19.03.2008

—> Season 2 Sign-Ups closing: 30.03.2008

—> Season 2 First Game Week: 07.04.2008

—> Season 2 Last (7^th) Game Week: 19.05.2008

We will start with 64 slots, and put the limit up after every eighth team on the Waiting List.

Of course you can register your team on the page any time so you will just have to click one button to join the 2^nd Season when Sign-Ups are open – have a look in the FAQ for instructions.

Season 1 – Last Game Week

Last normal League Week is running, two days ago Division 1 finally managed to finish all regular games. The final standing can be found at our Tables.

New: Recruiting Feature

Of course we always are working on the site and try to improve it as best as we can. Yesterday we integrated a new Recruiting Feature: All team leaders can set the Recruiting Mode on their team pages and then will appear at the Recruiting List.

You will soon also be able to choose which skill level and classes you are recruiting.

Besides that, if you have any other Feature in mind which we should integrate on our League-Site, feel free to post in our Feedback Thread.

New: IRC Bot

Our hard-working Site-Admin ST8 also working on our own IRC-Bot named “ETF2L”.

Here are all current commands you can use:

• !results – Last 5 entered Results
• !fixtures – Next 5 upcoming Fixtures
• !info – League Page URL
• !contact – League-Admin E-Mail-Address

“ETF2L” will also highlight starting Matches with Source-TV-IP entered at the Calendar. More commands coming soon…

Updated: Server Config

After Valve included a Crit-Variable and Tournament-Mode in the last Team Fortress 2 Patch we updated our League and Cup Config. TFTrue is also not needed anymore.

—> Updated Server Config

Changed: Player Addition

We integrated a new Player-Addition-System, so from now on you can add new players or delete old ones at the Dashboard. After an admin verified it (normally done in between 24 hours) he is added to your roster automatically.

—> New Player Addition

New Rule: Taunt-Abuse forbidden.

Since the new Patch there is also some kind of new bug, where you are unhittable as Scout doing a “Taunt” in the air.

—> You are not allowed to abuse the “Taunt” during a fight to destroy the hit box.
