VouriPanda-DaveVouriCan EU players participate?
We'd love for you guys to, however I don't think our servers would support you guys. Your high ping would almost render you unplayable.
If they're East coast, 100ms isn't that bad tbh.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but we're trying to make this tournament NA only :/.

Shame, but understandable I suppose. Best of luck with it :)

this seems like a big joke to me, good effort but these rules are absolutely ridiculous.

also why wouldnt you let a few euros play? theyre the ones dealing with the higher ping not you.

this is what happens when low level highlander players try and run and a 6s tourny

i agree

i understand what you are trying to do with this tournament and make it reflective of a pug like atmosphere but i honestly rather join with my team. i dont understand why everyone is subjected to be on a pug team. i feel as if, just like any other tournament, you should allow teams to enter and whatever team spots are left can be filled with a pug team or designate 2 of the 8 spots to pug teams.

i realize its a smaller tournament which has influence on why you want it to be pug styled and so that everyone has a fair chance of playing but what if im on a team with someone i have previous bad experiences with and/or some players being better/have more experience/higher expectations of their teammates in a team environment will just lead to it being toxic.

just my thoughts and im sure others agree.

the only problem is that the people that get paired with euros are handicapped by them

I'm taking what you guys said into consideration about changing the rules as I stated here:

Panda-DaveWe can definitely change these rules. We'd love for you guys to have fun at this tournament without boring rules, however we thought it might bring more structure to our tournament. But, if you guys think off-classing rules aren't that big of a deal in a tournament we can definitely do without them. However do you guys consider spy/pyro/heavy to mid "throwing"?Just let me know by either upvoting/quoting with your opinion please. We want this to be an enjoyable experience for all of you guys.

I also don't like the idea of Europeans being in the tournament because the high ping will hinder their team and players will most likely complain. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Due to popular demand we've got rid of every rule related to offclassing and classes in general.

Please, as I stated before three times now:

Panda-Dave. Due to the small size of the tournament, teams will be created randomly with admin influence. Please, if this is a problem for you, do not enter yourself in the tournament. This reduces hassle for everyone. We want this to be an enjoyable experience for everybody that comes out to play. (:

I'm sorry you don't like that. If we had more players in the tournament we would consider having teams/groups of people being entered rather than individual players. Again, sorry for your inconvenience.

if you dont like their rules then dont sign up.. its as simple as that

tf2 tournaments are few and far between, especially for lower level players, no need to shit on people who are actively doing things to help our community

i wont be, neither will the 20 or so people ive spoken to about it.

if they were really serious about running a good tourny they would get some credible people to help them out or at least use one of kevinispwns tournys as a guideline

If you are as good as you think you are proto, you probably shouldn't be playing in a silver/open tournament anyway, plus I doubt the Panda Pug admins are going to want you playing in this tournament if you are going to be like that.

They will be out by the 10th at the latest. That's all I really know. I'm going to be very busy until Tuesday, however the other admins can work on it. It will definitely be posted during the upcoming week. (:

I feel like you are going to have a problem with a lot of players that wont play, or wont try depending on what team they get put with. You could also consult someone that knows alot of the players that are signed up and make teams with them, so that one team wouldnt be stacked.
