We've had less signups than we would have liked, and honestly we're not sure that we'll be able to continue on with the current numbers we've attained. We'll leave the signups open right the way through until Friday instead of closing them today like we originally planned.

If worst comes to worst we may have to consider rescheduling the tournament for another time perhaps in the new year or cancelling it altogether. Thank you for those of you who signed up, we'll keep you up to date with the status of the tournament as we go forward.

I have a team ready to signup but can you let us know what time on Saturday and Sunday matches will be held?

I have a few members who cannot commit unless they know the match times. We tried to find it but it doesn't seem to be posted anywhere unless I am missing it.

Day 1 group stage matches should run from 15:00 EST until 19:00 EST and are pretty much confirmed and solid right now. Day 2 matches aren't 100% confirmed but the knock-out stage should run from around 14:00 until 16:00 with the semi-finals running from 16:30 to 18:30 and the finals from 19:00 until 21:00. Hope this helps.

Hey, dev team member here. We're incredibly sorry for keeping you guys out in the open about this, but we spent a good chunk of time deciding whether or not to postpone the tournament until a later date (tentatively next week). Unfortunately, Rand had some last second stuff happening IRL that forced him to be away from his computer and keeping the teams updated, but essentially what made us make the decision to postpone it is the very low amount of teams signed up for the tournament (only 6 at the time of writing this), and even though we tried to advertise this as much as we could through our Discord channel and our Steam Group, it ultimately didn't help much in increasing the number of teams that would participate. We're gonna approach other means to promote the tournament so we can have a more acceptable number of participants to make the tournament as fun and enticing as we possibly can. Thank you guys for the support, and apologies for the lack of communication. <3

just going to throw this out there but i feel like if you made thread title indicate that it is a tournament and/or have dates and times very specifically laid out beforehand
i imagine a lot of people didn't even bother clicking on the thread because they had no idea what the fuck a winter brawl is and or didn't read through the op (which is also somewhat weirdly worded as well lol)

Hey guys,

I'm really sorry. I think I should start with that because, to be frank, it's all my fault. Everyone else in the project was ready to go and I had something come up for me IRL and that caused the whole organisation to go to pot. There's no excuses here for me, but I'd like to make it clear that everything that went wrong is down both to my unfortunate luck and my lack of experience in hosting this sort of event.

In the last few weeks since Kevin decided to take a step back from TF2 it's been a very very difficult task of taking up his role in the organisation. All the things that he made look quite easy have turned out to be really difficult for me and I've made a lot of mistakes. The list of teams and their groups should have been up days ago and everything should have been set in place so that even if something did come up for me the tourney would still have been able to function. Part of the reason the team/group lists and the organisational stuff wasn't in place was because of our low signup rate. When we reached our original deadline of Wednesday we had 3 signups which was simply not enough which is why we took the decision to extend it. Extending it has worked quite well, we have 10 signups now which we can make work, but by deviating from our timeline a lot of things fell through and then of course I myself let the whole thing go to pot.

Right now I can tell you that the tournament will not happen this week, but it is scheduled to occur next week. We'll be sorting all of our group lists and organisational stuff tonight and tomorrow and we will have a complete list available including match times and such available by Monday at the latest should no other terrible things occur.

Again, I'm really sorry that I've wasted the time of many of you who were totally ready to play today and I understand completely if you can no longer play. This is entirely on me and not on the great people behind the scenes who were ready and willing to give their time to the tournament this weekend.

I'm sorry you had personal shit going on, had a similar situation that caused me to miss an ESEA match without being able to tell anyone on my team and it's really the worst feeling.

That being said, I hope it's a lesson to you because like bear said we could have had a FACEIT tournament with a pretty decent prize pool this weekend if we had known earlier this wasn't happening, even like a few hours sooner in the day. You really need a backup plan when you're hosting something like this.

Alright. It brings me no real joy in having to bring this news. Due to the issues with missing the official date and with upcoming tournaments on other services happening we've decided that continuing now could just cause problems for others. I'm really thankful for the support I got from people after missing the original start date and I'm really really grateful for the hard work of our devs, admins and graphic guys who worked behind the scenes to get this going and especially Tragic for providing us with a prize pool and being ready and willing to continue despite my personal stuff getting in the way, but we're all agreed that continuing just wouldn't be in the best interests of the community.

Thanks for the interest in the tournament guys, I'm sorry that it couldn't get going and I hope that the TF2 community has many many successful tournaments in its future.
