An awesome donation from CJ- raised this prizepot even higher than before, making it by far the largest prizepot in the history of ultiduo (until that vegas lan happens).

----

1st- 50 keys + 200 dollars paypal + potential 20 keys if incentive is met
2nd- 40 keys + 100 dollars paypal + potential 14 keys if incentive is met
3rd- 20 keys + 40 dollars paypal + potential 8 keys if incentive is met

----

To break that down:
The two winners will each receive up to 35 keys + 100 dollars. (that's roughly 180 USD at market value)!
The two runner-ups will each receive up to 27 keys + 50 dollars. (that's roughly 110 USD at market value)!
The two third place consolation winners will each receive up to 14 keys + 20 dollars (that's roughly 50 USD at market value)!

I'm super proud of the fact that this ultiduo has a 152 key prizepot, and a $340 cash prizepot. With keys at market value, the total value in usd for the REAL ultiduo tournament is roughly $685 dollars!

Massive shoutouts to trade.tf, ag, karabear, cj-, yaug, alkaline, and all the smaller donators for making this prizepot possible!

If you want to provide prizepot donations for this event, I would seriously consider holding off and backing one of our future events. The REALTourney staff are grateful for the generosity, support, and trust of the competitive TF2 community, and we look forward to hosting events just as big as this one in the future.

P.S. If you still want to play in a backup team, there are a few no-shows that will get booted down into lower brackets. If you want a free lower bracket slot to play in, sign up on this post just like before!

P.P.S. If you still haven't played or contacted an admin, you will be booted from the tournament at roughly midnight tonight. That's a lot of work for us, so please avoid doing that to us. If there is a seriously good reason, we are willing to budge one day for this first round only. You can get in touch with our admins in the steam group's group chat.

I'm not even joking, this is actually the server the have on their website.

13 matches still haven't been played. Pleeease play your matches before Friday at midnight. If you planned to do it later than that, message me on steam so I can note that. I will be sending out a message to team captains that have not played starting tomorrow morning.

I went S15. I talked to a few people and spectated a whole lot of tf2. Road tripped down from memphis with my dad. He played Frisbee golf with old friends and I went to LAN.

I would really recommend it if you can go.

Thankful for the impending winter break. Much needed.

Thankful for this awesome community that I found through a remarkable, random series of events. You guys are awesome.

Thankful for the incredible sponsor (based tradetf), generous donors (based ag among others), and hardworking admins that are making the real ultiduo tournament as big as it is.

Thankful for better health than this time last year.

Thankful for my father's cooking. I don't even like turkey but this... oh my god

Reading the op gave me a headache lol. When everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted.

Also pompson is really broken. -10% Uber is a really stupid mechanic in a format played around ubers. Widowmaker is a really questionable unlock too.

stapler is killing it with these, damn.

Also, updated prizepot! AG| Nahanni has doubled the cash prize pot with a $170 dollar donation. Thanks AG!

Play your matches! You have until the 28th, and a lot of people won't be able to play Thursday because of gluttony day. If you haven't scheduled your match yet, you are behind. I don't want to have to message a bunch of people begging them to play in a match. If you fail to submit a match result on time, I may replace you with a backup team.

Also, if you have any sick frags during an official, PLEASE save them and send them in to the steam group chat. Emkay is going to make an official tournament video. If you want your clips to be featured, send them in to this steam discussion.

Official servers are now functional. To rent one out for your matches, schedule it as far out as you can. The servers have all the ultiduo maps found on comp.tf's ultiduo page, so play what you want (as long as everyone agrees). Info on how to schedule is in the rules.

Mumble info: realtourney1.murmur.nfoservers.com:23000

If you need a private mumble room for your team, ask one of the admins in the steam group chat. We'll set up a room with a password for you asap.

Game servers will be up as soon as we can get them configured. The delay in getting these out to you guys is mainly because my TF2 is really broken. I'm finally getting around to reinstalling, and while I do that Boyos is setting up the servers. I'll get info out to you as we get it.

The admins have been working hard to get this out to you guys. Behold! Brackets!

Read the rules before playing your matches. Ask questions if you have them. Also, we will have official servers up soon. If you want to go ahead and play your first game on your own server, feel free.

Rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yypBxqk4edGLA-WsWXL2gaHHGWrVd52MQws8xUFvWck/pub If you see something stupid or confusing, tell me so I can fix it.

I'm finalizing bracket stuff. It will be posted tonight.

Official servers should be up by tomorrow afternoon. You are allowed to use your unofficial servers before then.

Really glad you posted this. Stapler sent me this in a steam message earlier, and it totally made my day. I was actually gonna post it later tonight because it made me happy.
