Hello! Announcing a 4v4 PASS TIME Tournament on the map "ARENA 2" ! This map/gamemode has been developed and pugged over many months (years almost) and the map was recently released publicly. I've wanted to do a tournament for a while now and it's time to make it happen! Do you know someone who likes rocket jumping? Airshots? Crazy surfs? Teamwork during non-stop action?? Then they might really enjoy this game mode!

placeholder VIDEO
An actual little teaser is being made but it's running behind so for now I'll just post this dated video which gives a decent idea of the gameplay. The ball spawns top or bottom, randomly and in the case of this game it went bottom most of the time which isn't as exciting to look at (esp from that up high angle).

DISCORD SERVER
https://discord.gg/yRJuyrR

This is the official Discord server for the tournament. At least the captain of each team should join it so they can receive server info as well as report scores of completed games to admins. Most of the communication for the tournament will be done through this Discord! It's also a good place to talk about things and ask questions (though in this thread is fine too of course).
Steam group right here btw, where we make announcements: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/4v4PassTime

Config/Whitelist/Plugins
https://github.com/Laxson/Passtime/
These files are posted for anyone who might want to run some practice games and have it feel official--though for the tournament servers will be provided so you don't have to worry about setting anything up. It's useful to properly limit the classes and items so pugs/tests don't devolve into complete idiocy (though some of that might be fun to try, admittedly). The plugin restricts certain banned stock items as well as prevents respawn bug abuse. Credit to Easye for coding the plugin and Laxson for the other parts and assembling it.

PSSST HEY READ THIS
I already linked this but I'll do it again: http://www.teamfortress.tv/49301/pass-arena2. You should really check this out especially if you're thinking about playing the tourney. I highly advise all entering players to mess around on the map and maybe run some pugs on it if you can so you're not just jumping in raw on tournament day because you might just get roflstomped and then you will be sad. Also there will likely be at least one team made up of veteran players from our weekly pug group here and they're gonna be looking to smash you all and SNATCH UP MY MONEY. You're not just gonna let that happen are you?!

Note: Some details may change and this thread will reflect it. Myself and my regulars helping me are not veteran event producers but we're trying to use the community's vast resources to do a good job at this.

Most people will call this retarded from the title, but I strongly urge people to at least try it out. There have been so many people who joined skeptical, agreeing to play only 1 playtest pug as a favor to a friend but ended up enjoying it and staying the rest of the night and returning on future nights. Very fun game mode.

Can confirm that this game mode is awesome. There are skeptics out there, so if you are one of them I encourage you to try out the PUGs every week. Hella fun, hella competitive, 10/10.

I won't be able to participate most likely due to work, however, if any new teams want assistance in learning the game mode at all I am more than willing to help a couple teams out. Coordination is way more important than DM in this game mode.

A note to all people thinking they will win by dm-ing things on the day of or to people who think won't be able to win because their dm isn't good enough.

Show Content
I can assure you going into it thinking your dm will carry you is a surefire way to lose. The game mode was designed to make the strategy "kill them all then score" not viable. Dm will help when denying jumpers or disabling defenders but it will not be the only factor by a long shot. Even if some high Invite team is formed, it is very likely that they will lose to teams who get a feel for it in advance. I'd like to make this apparent because I know some people shy away because they feel b4nny or some other top invite players will take all the prize money. What I can guarantee you is that you have a good chance to win even with that happening. I have seen 6's IM/Invite players with very good DM play the pugs and try to sit above the mid and airshot everything with no attempt to coordinate and lose. I have seen mid open players try to cover for teammates and selflessly play and win against people with far superior dm than them. If you all work together you will overcome others who don't in this game mode.

Added the official config, whitelist, and plugin to the main post. This stuff is subject to change but probably won't too much.

https://github.com/Laxson/Passtime/
These files are posted for anyone who might want to run some practice games and have it feel official--though for the tournament servers will be provided so you don't have to worry about setting anything up. It's useful to properly limit the classes and items so pugs/tests don't devolve into complete idiocy (though some of that might be fun to try, admittedly). The plugin restricts certain banned stock items as well as prevents respawn bug abuse. Credit to Easye for coding the plugin and Laxson for the other parts and assembling it.
