[size=16][b]SIGNUPS[/b][/size]
Signups are invite based with a qualifier system. They will open in April. If needed, we plan to host qualifiers right after we close sign-ups.
Only teams of 9 players may sign up. There are 86 seats available, meaning 8 teams can participate. We'll check options for increasing spots to 90 and having 10 teams.
[b]IF YOU ARE AN INVITE / PREMIERSHIP TEAM AND WANT TO TAKE PART[/b] and we have NOT yet reached out to you, please [b]create a ticket in Discord in the #rules channel[/b] so we can consider inviting you.

[size=16][b]QUALIFIER STAGE[/b][/size]
All non-invite/premiership teams must sign up to qualifiers to participate. ETF2L's Highlander AFA 2025 whitelist and ruleset applies. We are going to host qualifiers somewhere around April 2026 (if needed).

[size=16][b]COVERAGE[/b][/size]
As before, the event will be livestreamed on [url=https://essentials.tf/]EssentialsTF's[/url] [url=https://www.twitch.tv/essentialstf]Twitch[/url]!
We are going to open recruitment when we'll be closer to the event.

[size=16][b]ENTRANCE FEE[/b][/size]
These prices are for the 6v6 event and I suspect we would get the same or similiar pricing from the venue:
- 450 PLN per adult player (107 EUR / 124 USD)
- 360 PLN per minor player (86 EUR / 99 USD)
- 90 PLN per spectator (22 EUR / 25 USD)

Fee includes:
- One drink for spectators
- Full PC rental (240 Hz/144 Hz FHD screen, PC capable of running TF2 on 240 FPS, full peripherals set) for players

[size=16][b]FURTHER INFORMATION[/b][/size]
- Sleeping costs are around 150 PLN/person/night in Łódź. We recommend checking Airbnb/Booking.com for offers and getting accommodation with friends makes it cheaper.
- You can fly directly to Łódź from Dublin, Birmingham, London-Stansted, Brussels or Milan, otherwise check flights to Warsaw airports (Warsaw Chopin or Warsaw Modlin). From there you can take a direct bus (1h30) to the Łódź Fabryczna train station which is a 10 minute walk from the venue,
- We are going to open spectator ticket sale after qualification stage ends (second part of April-May), so all players who did not manage to qualify will still have a chance to attend.
