Highlander Season 3 Rule changes
Catch-up week is now official
The catch-up week is now an official part of the season, and thus teams are allowed to use wildcards during Week 5. Unused wildcards will be disabled after Week 5 ends.
Week 5 matches scheduled into the catch-up week without a wildcard or extension will still receive a late warning.
Dropped teams’ results will be removed if they did not finish the season
If a team drops before they finish all main season matches, their results will be removed from the table.
Previously, a dropped team’s results were kept if they played at least 75% of their matches.
ETF2L 6th Cup Reminders
There are still lots of open slots for the 6th ETF2L Cup. Please sign up your team until tomorrow, Saturday, at 18 CET, to get a chance at the €300 cash prize. The bot draw for the first round will follow shortly after.
It is possible that many teams will get a “bye” for the first round because we only have 133/200 signups by now. The top 8 teams, based on their Season 13 results, will still join the cup for the round of 32.
We would also like to announce that we follow the suggestion of 
Arx and reshuffle the bracket for each round. The brackets will be seeded every Saturday around 18 CET, you will not be able to predict your opponent for the next round.
chojje has updated his map cp_quay to beta 2. cp_quay_b2 is the official version that has to be used for this tournament. Please make sure that you also have cp_croissant_rc6 on your gameserver.
A whitelist for this cup can be found here. Please remember that you need to manually execute the whitelist after loading your config with the following command
- rcon mp_tournament_whitelist “cfg/etf2l_whitelist_6thcup.txt”; rcon mp_tournament_restart

Really
retardedpotato rule change. Sorry. There is no way a team should be able to play all there games but one and then drop before there final game and have all the results taken off teams that have worked hard to practice and schedule and play their games.Just my thoughts.
So don’t drop.
You didn’t understand my point, shotgun. I was talking about other teams dropping.
@Oxy
Under the old rule, we would have to award a default win to their opponents in the final match. Which is not fair towards the teams that worked hard for their points against the dropped team.
I’m not aware of any teams being affected by this rule in the last few seasons, so this rule change is mentioned purely for documentation purposes.
The correct command to execute the whitelist is:
rcon mp_tournament_whitelist "cfg/etf2l_whitelist_6thcup.txt";rcon mp_tournament_restartIt won’t work without the
cfg/and.txtunfortunately. Previous comment can be deleted of course, sorry for that.Thanks feeling blue, updated this post and the cup page!
