Free-4-All Tournament Discussion

So those of you that participated know what this is all about, those who don't or aren't sure, the eGO community hosted a TF2 Free-4-All tournament last September in which SteveC came out on top as the winner. We made all of our own plugins and website to manage the tournament, and was a great success thanks to our tech team and sponsors being eXtv who casted it and Edge Game Servers who provided our i7 Processor grand prize.

We would like to host another one this year, and any input from you guys that participated more specifically, but if not even we want some input on when you guys think would be the best time to host it, any changes from last year, etc. We are definitely going to fix the MGE final for it, so that it doesnt allow offclassing.

Last year the tournament took place on September 22nd which was a Saturday.

We are thinking the best time would be in the summer for this to happen, and will begin looking for sponsors/prizes/cool stuff now to prepare. I am trying for some gaming gear, headsets mice keyboards and cool stuff like that for prizes.

Here was our website page from last year if you forgot what this was.

:( I came back too late to join the server for round 1.
I'd love to try again.

btw, awesome job on the web stuff. Stats/rankings were really easy to find and read.

The one downside I distinctly remember from first time was the opening round. Most of the people who signed up didn't show, and every single first round server had all players advance, or at least nearly everybody did. A backup plan for that scenario would be nice, like adjusting the number of servers used in the first round.

Afterwards, the only issue I had was the ban list, or lack thereof. You wouldn't need to make it the same as ESEA, but take some suggestions from it at least.

Would more of you be able to show up if this is in the summer time before school starts back up? Most of us are either high school or college kids from what I have seen, think we could find more interest with it being in the summer.
