What if Neither Team has a Server?

Well no-one is pressuring you to buy a server…where does it say in the rules that a signed up team HAS to have a server? If both teams don’t have a PLAYABLE server, you can ask an admin on #etf2l though their servers are limited. There are plenty of people who own/manage unused servers prolly willing to lend a hand (myself included if our server is free).
With that said, we got a server as well it makes finding games much easier and gives you somewhere to practise/mess around/go through strategy…etc
rly guys skyride tells the truth.
And tbh, i bet ur hole team ate maybe all together 15 pizzas this month? fuck sake throw in a slice of that and you got a server… Wierd asking? ffs they are playing the game.
Although ETF2L should not be expected to provide servers I think that it should be mentioned in the rules or somewhere alike that ETF2L should not be expected to provide servers and that it is highly expected of teams to have their own servers. With the massive influx of teams at this moment in time it could save some confusion.
meh….
pointless MULTIPLAY adverts are pointless
Quoted from Skyride
I have servers. :P
Seriously though, I mean this as a general rule to all teams, but if you’re planning to play more than a ladder game once in a blue moon, you should really have your own server. Pretty much every standard 6v6 team in TF2 has their own server, Its not really fair for ETF2L to bend over backwards to help out people who aren’t really even that interested in playing.
Then how about fixing the server I paid for 3 days ago?

servers are all 8-Core or 32-Core servers.
For the same £14.42 PM you could have a 26 man spam sever.

tbh, i wouldn’t worry about it unless it does come down to the fact that the other team doesn’t have access to a server, which is unlikely. Also it’s not as though when match day comes, thats it’s you got 15mins to find a server. Nope. You’ll schedule the match with the other team days before the match, and during the time you schedule it, you can also sort out the server. eg, do they have one, and if not, can you find someone who does and pre-book it for use on the day you play.
As an extreme last resort. Get everyone to signup to TF Lobby, and make a lobby, getting all your players in their and the other team, kicking any randoms who join, and click start when everyone ready’s up. It’ll give you a server to play on. granted it does it one map at a time, but for the second map you just restart the lobby. If anything like golden cap comes into it, just do nother lobby just for that and keep an eye on the time limit :D

Nice idea with the lobby server, however does’t have the official etf2l config….
would like to take credit but i’ve read it here before in a similar thread, i just forget where or who suggested it.
also yeah agreed about the not exact config, though thats what i meant about extreme last resort :D. but even so, i guess the configs will be extremely similar, so long as the lobby is setup right. the lobbies are supposed to replicate a match situtation, so the config settings can’t be far off from what they should be. so long as people make sure all their own players have joined and not randoms, and also make sure that no one is stupid enough to use the “report missing” or “sub needed” features, then all is good.
In several other threads the admins made clear, that tf2lobby servers can NOT be used because the servers for official matches MUST run the official etf2l.cfg
edit: One problem that could occur with lobby servers is that they have mp_winlimit set to 5 as in ETF2L we are using mp_windifference 5. I am too lazy to think about other cvars.

fair do’s.
well i suppose if there are no other options other than to use lobby, and both clans understand the risks, and both clans have tried to find a server and have consulted the league admins and absolutly must play the match that day… and it’s like both clans are “we MUST play this game today or it’s the end of the world for us both”. Then maybe it’ll be ok.
obviously seek admin advice before doing it though, as an admin will have more contacts and might be able to arrange a server for them to use.
