Season 6: general match deadline
By Sunday December 6th at 23.59 CET, all normal Season 6 matches have to be played and the results submitted. All matches without submitted results will receive a 0:0 result on both maps. This is a solid deadline that will not change and cannot be crossed. In the week from December 7th to 13th all place deciding matches will be played between teams who are tied in points for promotion/demotion positions.

Season 6: team rosters locked from Week 9 onwards
On Monday November 23rd at 00.01 CET, the roster from all teams participating in Season 6 will be locked. This means you will be unable to add new players to your team’s roster from that day until the end of the season. In case you wish to use a new player after that date, all rules concerning the use of mercs/ringers apply: make sure you ask your opponent for permission.
- Deadline for roster changes: Sunday, 22nd November, 23:59 CET
New recruitment system
Our boys over at the website development department have created a neat new recruitment system. Through the new recruitment page on your personal dashboard you can add a new recruitment post. You have to enter your own skill level, your favourite class(es) and a short description of who you are and what you are looking for. All new posts will automatically be added to the overview, which you can sort on skill, country and class(es). The old Player Recruitment Forum has been closed.
We believe this new system will make your search for a new team or player a lot easier. If you have any questions or notes regarding this new system, please contact the ETF2L staff on IRC. You can find the list of recruitment topics here, or through the “Info” button on our main menu on the website.
King of the Hill cup sponsored by n1ping: Round 3
In our 4on4 KotH cup, thirty-one teams have reached the third round and have got a new opponent to face. One match from the second round still has to be played. The teams in the third round are another four matches away from the final, so there will be plenty of action in the upcoming weeks. Below you can find the deadlines for the matches from round 3. An overview of the tournament tree can be found here.

Gravelpit: Stickybomb Bug
Due to some issues on the stickybomb bug on gravelpit, we added the following rule to make clear this is an illegal map bug:
1.4.11 cp_gravelpit: The stickybomb bug on gravelpit is not allowed
You are not allowed to put stickies under cp A and damage targets through the floor.

I’m guessing a similar system for clans recruiting players will follow?
Other than that, good work.
Really good work, gratz mates. :D
the bug thingy: how about Dustbowl, stage2, cp1? :))
such an old bug, surprised it’s only just been ruled out.
+1 waebi though
It’s always been a against the exploiting bugs rule numlocked, we’ve just had to deal with a number of clans using it this season already so we decided to make it clear that it is not allowed.
and what’s happening if someone use this bug ? because someone did on us this seaseon, we’ve reported it, and we’ve got nothing.
The “bug exploit” rule is meaningless because there are many bugs that are exploited openly and often but still aren’t considered to clash with this rule.
yeah I experienced that glitch once but I think it was a scrim, not an official match… anyway the other scout exploded and I was in the corner so remained with 20 hp :\
the 2nd round before rushing inside the point I checked the ROOF of A because I had no idea the blast could pass through the point
H4reM I assume you mean this match – http://etf2l.org/matches/13120/
As you can see your opponents got a minor warning. We look at the demos and see if the use of a bug affected the outcome of the map, if it didn’t then we just give a minor warning. If it is more serious than that we will consider a more severe penalty.
I always do that gravelpit stuff in PCW when I play demo, so much fun :D
The recruitement system is awesome. Good job soldiers for the cause
WHAT ABOUT THE STICKY BUG UNDER C????????
WHAT ABOUT THE STICKY BUG UNDER C????????
allowed imho, no rule that tells us its forbidden :p
I’m pretty sure there was an unspoken gentlemanly agreement among most demomen not to use that as it was quite clearly abusive. Kind of like that one roof on granary and numerous other things.
What if i trying to kill some one under a? I have to lure him out?
That just rediculus…
No seriously.
You’ve misunderstood Haruhi. The problem is that stickies attached the the roof of the room underneath the A point will damage people who are standing on the point. The explosion actually goes ‘through’ the floor of the point.
You are allowed to kill people underneath A with stickies, but you cannot lay stickies on the roof of the room underneath the point with the intention of killing people who are capturing the point.
So, if i INCIDENTAL i must go out and say, hey, guys, i layed sticky under you, can you please leave the point so i can blow em up?
In the middle of a game, you can simply forget about this bug, and about that fact, that this bug is now resctricted.
but still, i dont like this glitch. Its annoying and unfair.
“So, if i INCIDENTAL i must go out and say, hey, guys, i layed sticky under you, can you please leave the point so i can blow em up?”
You have to be quite precise with placement if you want to damage trough the floor, so I doubt that will happen.
So, guys if you play with me, please kill me BEFORE capping a point. I have a very bad aim, you know…
