I can look into it, have some experience with sounds and TF2. :)

Hey guys, some really important stuff going on this weekend.
As many of you (hopefully) know, there is the Tip of the Hats event going on.
We from TF2Pickup.net proudly announce that we will support them as well, with the help of our community. We will donate a certain amout of € for each pickup played during the event.
Furthermore we will do a raffle for all people who played pickups.
Head over to our site and check out the details for it: http://tf2pickup.net/toth

Hello ladies and gentlemen.
Last two days were really exciting for us. We broke our record for pickups in one day and broke our record for people online. At this point we want to say thanks to all players who joined us this weekend and helped raising the money for Tip of the Hats. They raised ~$105.000 for the kids for One Step Camp, by the way, which is amazing. But lets show our shiny stats aswell now:
During the event we had:
–68 6v6 pickups = €34.00 = $46.92
–15 9v9(HL) pickups = €15.00 = $20.70
–18 BBall pickups = €4.50 = $6,21
–17 Ultiduo pickup = €4.25 = $5.86
–In total = €57.75 = ~$79.70
We then decided to add another 70$ and donate 150$, as we were really pleased by the amount of pickups played.
We want to say thanks to the all people who were on the stream of Tip of the Hats, who promoted us and gave us a great shoutout there. Big thanks to Haydn, Konr and Ducky, who worked on the stream on Saturday when we did our first pickup broadcast. Unfortunately, Lamqta forgot to turn the recording of the stream so we don’t have VODs from it. Big shoutout to Arie who provided us with a server for mumble during the weekend when we had problems with ours. (that caused the crashes on the mumble and the webserver if you are still wondering). And now its time to announce our winners from our raffle.
-Level 5 donator rank for 1 month – tea, S!IMON and Tritone for “Medics of the event” (per gametype)
-5x Level 5 donator ranks, lasting 1 month – zEaK47, Raptor, Pepis, zen, hedokingoglu
-10x Announcer for a week – esk, Adeel, turkuaz, s0rex, Fuddles, FlamingBear, 0verflow, Oliver Targos, tiagoo, Beater

The winners of the announcers should contact admins through steam/tf2pickup to get their announcer.
Furthermore we will do a item raffle soon, as Kuferl won the 200 unboxed crate raffle and we will use some of those items.
And in conclusion, we should add that’s not the last time we do broadcasting of our pickup channel. We are working on something that might give us the chance to stream every weekend.
Thank you all who played this weekend.

– Browser notifications for different phases of the pickup (Readying up)
– New mumble server (type !mumble in chat for the info)
– Enable Pyrovision (April Fools theme) temporarily with !pink in chat (!normal to disable)

Quoted from AnimaL

is it possible to that you make announcer like half of volume, i dont get why must my ears bleed compared to rest of sound on my pc when i want to play pickup

Never really thought of that. We will see what we can do, but should be no problem.

Also tftrue is fixed, so we got logs again =)

Quoted from Kuferl

Made this just now, shows 6v6 Games played per day for March/April/May until yesterday

Nice effort, but that is a very confusing graph.
