Becuase i’m lazy and Shox at Vanilla wrote a good article http://www.vanillatf2.org/2011/07/multiplay-i43-a-champagne-reception/ i’ll just copy paste his work :].

i43 TF2 Tournament
Ever since Adam “Damage” Parkins from Rasta Gaming has taken charge of the marketing/sponsorship of i-series, this organisation has been growing in professionalism, sponsors and ways of getting in touch with the scene including us. So what has this man done?

Organized 2 online i43 ticket winning tournaments, yes thats right, one for the Lower Teams, one for the Higher Teams. I cannot express how much we absolutely need to show full support when the staff of Multiplay pull off things like this, if you ever want to see this happen again for TF2, and if you would like your favorite game to continue being competitive at i-series. If you cannot attend the event, but happen to win this online tournament, no fuss you can give the tickets to someone else… So there is absolutely no reason not to signup!

How do I know if I am considered “Lower”? How do I know if I can compete in this! The simple answer is this. Only players that are Div2 or below in the ESL and / or ETF2L in the last 6 months are considered “Lower”. This can be in either league however, if you are div 1 ETF2L but div4 ESL then you do NOT qualify. If you have been in div 1 or above in the last 6 months, in either league, then do not apply as you will be breaking the rules and will result in the entire team disqualification from the tournament.
To be clear, every player in the team must not be / not have been Div 1 or above in either the ESL or ETF2L in the last 6 months to enter.

How do I know if I am Upper? How do I know if I can compete in this! The simple answer is this. Only players that are Div1 or above in the ESL or ETF2L in the last 6 months are considered “Upper”. This can be in either league so if you are div 5 etf2l but div1 ESL then you qualify. If you are not currently in either or havent been in the last 6 months then do not apply as you will not be breaking the rules and will result in the entire team disqualification from the tournament. Only “Upper” players can enter this tournament. Upper players are not allowed to enter the community tournament.
To be clear, every player in the team must be / have been Div 1 or above in either the ESL or ETF2L to enter. These players are NOT allowed to enter the Community tournament.

Currently the tournament is scheduled to be run on the Tues 26th July and Weds 27th July beginning at 8pm CET each night.

Quoted from XO -

What if people have allready paid for the ticket and want to compete?

Thats ok, if you win then you’ll get your ticket refunded. :]

Quoted from BoneS

So a team with no intention of entering lan at all can compete win tickets and sell/give them away to other people? I think at least 1/2 people from the winning team should at have to turn up to collect a 3 foot high trophy or something.

We’ll monitor who wins the tickets and who then actually applies to use them, if someone would do somthing like that, not in the spirit of the competition, we’re capable of stripping them of the won tickets and awarding them to the other finalists instead. 1 – 2 mercs is fine in a team if part of your lan team can’t make it but 5 mercs who then don’t come to lan will not be allowed to give/sell your tickets away. Worst comes to worse i’ll deal with this on a case basis if anyone is cuntish enough to do this and reaches the final.

Come on, use me so I can win one for me!

do teams need to have all 6 players signed up on the website to be able to play? or does the merc rule allow 4 signed up on the website +2 mercs?

***EDIT*** I should really read posts thoroughly, ignore that.

Avail to merc for this
