Plugins
We will not continue to use the mercy rule plugin in Season 39. In it’s current state the plugin causes more issues than it solves, playoff scoring being an example.
Promotions
The winners of each Division/Tiers will automatically be promoted to the next higher Division/Tier unless their starting roster has changed by half or more of their players.
All promotions are open for admin discretion. This is in order to make sure the tiers are as good as they can possibly be. If you are uncertain about being promoted you can follow the below mentioned sign-up process to give additional information about your team.
Sign-up Process
First and foremost you must sign up your team from there: https://etf2l.org/wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=comps
An email does not count as signing up to the upcoming season and is only meant to give further information regarding your team and its placement.
Please note that the success of your request also strongly depends on the free slots in the tier you aim for. Established teams will be favored over new teams or teams that request to jump a tier.
- Premiership:
If you intend to sign up for the Premiership Tier we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. Due to the Premiership Qualifiers happening while signups are still open, we will only consider teams for the Premiership Qualifiers that signed up before the scheduled deadline. Additionally, we expect teams without a guaranteed Premiership Division spot to be able to compete on the provided Premiership Qualifier dates.
We expect all aspiring Premiership Tier teams to either send us an email ([email protected]) or directly contact a league admin on Steam or Discord with the following:
– Team name, Division you apply for and ETF2L link
– Roster
– Recent results and logs associated to them
– Reasons why your team deserves to be placed in the tier you applied for (optional)
i.e.
Team BIG EXPLOSION, Premiership, https://etf2l.org/teams/1/
announce the roster with the classes
5-2 vs Team Aoshis All Stars (Prem) : https://logs.tf/012345
Teams that do not send an email or contact admins risk losing their spot in the Premiership Qualifiers.
- Division 1 and Division 2 (High):
If you intend to sign up for Division 1 or Division 2 you must sign up to “High tier” when signing up for the season. We encourage you to send us an email ([email protected]) with the following:
– Team name, Division you apply for and ETF2L link
– Roster
– Recent results and logs associated to them
– Reasons why your team deserves to be placed in the tier you applied for (optional)
i.e.
Team Blood is back, Division 2, https://etf2l.org/teams/1/
announce the roster with the classes
5-2 vs Team Permzilla (Div2) : https://logs.tf/012345
Teams that do not send an email or contact admins risk not the be put in the division they hoped for.
- Division 3 (Mid), Division 4 (Mid) and Division 5 (Low):
If you intend to sign up for Division 3 (Mid), Division 4 (Mid) and Division 5 (Low) and wish to be placed in a specific division/tier we encourage you to send us an email ([email protected]) with the following:
– Team name, Division you apply for and ETF2L link
– Roster
– Recent results and logs associated to them
– Reasons why your team deserves to be placed in the tier you applied for (optional)
i.e.
Team Sunny White, Mid, https://etf2l.org/teams/1/
announce the roster with the classes
5-2 vs Team niGhtHeaLeR (Mid) : https://logs.tf/012345
Teams that do not send an email or contact admins risk not the be put in the division they hoped for.
- Division 6 (Open):
If you are applying for Division 6/Open tier (which is our entry division), you do not have to provide any proof that you are capable of playing at that level.

So many decisions on these minor unlocks on the whitelist and no option for banning the most OP of all.. the crossbow..
Nice
didnt we work out the crossbow thing like 3 years ago
where is the ban of the winger ??
🤭
no koth bagel vote? sad times.
Would also be cool to have two koth maps played per season, instead of just one. The additional variety would freshen things up as Koth playstyle is very different.
#ReconcileReckoner
bring back badlands
Man I can’t wait for people to vote the same way they do everytime, and for nothing new to come out of it!
unban huolong heatmaker

Somewhat related but not really but can we please get rid of the stupid “3-2 on koth = GCW rule”? that shit sucks nuts. No sane person has ever argued that a 3-2 win on product is anything other than a close but still decisive result. It’s clear golden caps in the season are staying (for better or for worse) but I don’t understand how u can take away a point from a team that clearly won.
^^ preach
also just delete points sharing as a whole, if you win you win, you lose you lose, none of this pity point shit
The koth golden cap rule is bizarre I agree and it seems inconsistent because it’s not as if people get more points for losing 4-5 than 0-5 say on a cp map.
Obviously golden caps exist if there is no decisive result after 30 mins but it doesn’t feel like the same thing + to be fair I’d also get rid of those and just give the golden cap winner all the points.

vote to ban iron bomber or market gardener if you suck
SHOULD THE MARKET GARDENER BE REMOVED FROM THE WHITELIST?

here we are still having granary in the map pool …
Remove granary
the 5cp GC point split makes a bit more sense but most logical of all would be to allow for draws in the main season.
vote off iron bomber and market gardener
