ETF2L PASS Time Cup! – Home

Banner by UnitedKingdom Akio

Schedule

  • Signups: CLOSED!
  • Group Stages: June 24th – July 19th
  • Playoffs: July 21st – TBA

The cup will be played over 3 weeks in swiss, with playoffs starting from July 15th and length will be decided once signups are closed. Due to this being a new gamemode and focusing more on the movement mechanics of TF2 rather than DM, we will be hosting swiss as one group.

NOTE: All Mercs have to be approved by your opponent. There are NO Default Mercs in this cup. You are allowed 1 Merc per game. Usual Merc rules apply.

Rules and Whitelist

The rules for Passtime are simple:

  • A game is played in rounds. The winner is the first to win 2 rounds. A round is won by scoring 5 points, or whoever has the highest score after 10 minutes.
  • Teams may consist of: 3 soldiers, 1 demo and 1 medic. As it is played in 4v4, any arrangement of classes can be picked within these limits.

Passtime has a very limited whitelist to go along with the class restrictions. All hitscan weapons are BANNED. (Including the Shotgun!) This is due to hitscan sending a flying jack into neutral, making the jack not score once in the goal, significantly slowing the gameflow down as it allows players to sit passively and negate a team from scoring at all. Projectiles can also do this, however, it’s a lot harder to do. Alongside this, stickybomb launchers of any kind are also banned, as they allow the demo to jump across the map with the jack and score very easily. With that in mind, here are the list of ALLOWED weapons! (including stock weapons.)

  • Stock/Original
  • Black Box
  • Gunboats
  • Equalizer
  • Escape Plan
  • Market Gardner

Demoman:
