GentlemanJonThe main problem with ESEA rules is that changing sides is completely pointless. It's simply a hangover from CS where changing sides actually matters and ESEA presumably couldn't be bothered to customise their rules for TF2 to something appropriate.
I thought it was to cover issues like cp_granary, because the default map had one side with slightly better spawning positions?

I feel like i have accomplished something
lets switch rulesets for a year to see how we feel about eachothers rules? :)
I would vote for EU rules, where there is a timer. my thought would be comparing it to soccer(actually in most sports), you have play for some time and the person with most point win! One can argue that a style like crowns(or the classical soccer defenders named Italy) might be borning but it's a valid tactic.
I like the 5th round victory instead of 5 round advantage to win in NA ruleset
in europe if you are 5-3 the match goes on until you have a 5 point advantage like 8-3 or the 30 minute match timer ends
