You see, I’ve never done anything involving a demo before, so can anybody point me in the right direction?
To record a game, type in console record “name”, while the file name shouldn’t have any special characters or spaces. The demo file (.dem extension) is saved in your current game directory, e.g. hl2name.dem. You can start recording anytime within a running game and stop recording with the stop command. If a changelevel occurs while recording, the current demo file will be closed and a new demo file name_2 (name_3, name_4, etc.) is created. To playback a previously recorded game, type playdemo “name”. If you want to use demo playback for system benchmarking use timedemo “name”. Timedemo plays a demo as fast as possible and shows performance stats after the playback is finished (total drawn frames, seconds needed for playback, average frames per second and variability).

http://etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-6647/?recent=200378 would be a good start mate. (Does it automatically when in tournament mode)

Open console with the ‘`’ key, next to your ‘1’ key but make sure you have the ‘developer console enabled’ check box checked, somewhere in the option files.
Type ‘record whatevernameyouwant’ into the console and it will say ‘recording to whatevernameyouwant’ and it’s done. To stop type stop or change server.
To watch it open the console again and type ‘playdemo whatevernameyouwant’ and it’s done. Make sure the demo name has no punctuation or spaces or characters other than letters, numbers and the underscore ‘_’
Good luck, have fun.
Edit: Way tooooo slloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!
