Gravelpit Bug, Admin Updates, Ladder Beta
October 13, 2011
This week and last week, you are supposed to be playing cp_gravelpit. We have noticed this map can provide results that one would not expect, due to some sort of map bug. While the bug exists, we will allow the following:
- If both teams agree, they may replace cp_gravelpit with another map from the map pool.
- If teams cannot agree on which map to play, but don’t want to play cp_gravelpit, they should use the Map Elimination system to choose a replacement map.
- Matches in which cp_gravelpit has already been played can be replayed on another map if both teams agree. Proof of the agreement is required.*
- Teams are still welcome to play on cp_gravelpit if they wish.
*This applies to all maps and matches during the season – if both teams agree, they can be replayed.
Admin Updates
We are delighted to welcome back 
Spike Himself to the admin team. Spike will be helping out wherever he can, particularly on the coding side of things such as the Ladder Beta (see below).
<3 We’d also like to congratulate him on becoming engaged! <3
Additionally, 
octochris has become part of the AC team for the past few weeks. It is fair to say the AC team is short-staffed at the moment, but we hope to have some new arrivals once we have fully rolled out the planned changes to our AC system.
Ladder Beta
Spike Himself has returned eager to continue his work on the Ladder, so we will be opening an invite-only ladder soon. More details here.
***Final Note!***
According to the calendar there are 37 matches scheduled for tonight. Please bear in mind that there is a massive TF2 update due out tonight! Chances are, it will arrive right in the middle of the average match time of 20:00-22:00 CEST because of the timezone difference. Be prepared to reschedule any matches set for tonight, in case everything breaks.

I bet this is Kop’s scheme to get out of gravelpit.
So, does this imply that gravelpit will possibly not be in next season’s map pool unless that bug is fixed?
woo =p?
What a bug btw?
FUCK YOU GRAVELPIT!
It’s a shame though that we (my team) are such goody-two-shoes that we played our matches on time, and allready played and lost both Gravelpits (as it’s a map that just doesnt work very well for us), while winning the 5CP maps in those matches with 6-1…
Playing the games on time just bites us in the ass now, since i doubt our opponents will agree to replay them… :(
And every team in the league that havent played Gpit yet (it’s almost week4!), that simply doesnt like the map just like us, can just pick another map to play on, regardless if they encounter the bug or not… :(
CHRIS! MY OBV TRIG BOT IS OBV!
Best news on this site ever. Gravelpit needs to fucking die in a fire.
Also gratz Spike!
smackdown’s coming for you quad!!!
ty Nick :D
Well said good sir!
Why is there even a choice allowed here? It’s pretty obvious if a team won gravelpit already in week 2 they aren’t very likely to agree to replay a different map especially if it was close enough for this bug to affect the result.
free gravelpit !
WHO WOULD WANT TO MARRY SPIKE
His fiancée.

nothing but good news today, something must be seriously wrong or it´s a bug in the matrix…
congrats to Spike!
good choice with chris, he usually knows his shit.
and yeeeees, no more gpit!
ETA until admins come to their senses and remove obscure remake from the map pool?
I’ve never tried it, but shouldn’t this work:
Right click > Properties > Updates > Do not automatically update this game.
Though I fear it will give you an “game is not available currently” or sth.
Open tf2 now and do not close it!
We get this bug and loose the 3rd round after it. So what now ? The other team will never want to replay a map. Maybe admins have to be more clear about this.
hello etf2l
check that fade guy, miss miss miss miss meatshot meatshot. So obvious
Unable to play gravelpit because of the gravel bug (we think that is that)
octochris is going to ban everyone now
Congratulation Spike :)
why arent there any bans? come on its obvious that some ppl got multiaccounts
congratz to spike
and chris probably got more than 1 ban hammer equipped

I love GP but I’m starting to feel less and less like it belongs in modern tf2 :[
What’s the GP bug? won our first GP game and lost our 2nd (though we won the 5CP map after) so I’m not bothered about getting it replayed, just curious what “bug” it is, rather than the mystery of “some sort of map bug” :3
