enigmajust a heads up there's a 27 MB gif embedded in the front page that probably ends up turning a ton of people away
Alright fine, I thought it looked cool and didn't think it would be an issue for most people. It's now removed.
However, the tournament is today in about 5 hours! Everything is ready to go and figured I would post some general information with links to make it easy.
Sign ups are still open until 6pm central. I will post a schedule of servers after 6pm.
Brackets are up for each division, just follow the links for your division
Mumble has been set up with seperate channels for each team
This is starting at 7 pm sharp, you may not play first, but please be present in mumble so we can get you checked in.

bearodactylCool video but it got kind of repetitive seeing people getting airshot for 9 minutes, would have liked to see more stuff from the POV of the guy jumping as opposed to the defender every time.

Thank you!
riot124pinkfloyd193I would like to purchase servers for Australiawould sign up in a hearbeat
Server up in Sydney thanks to the quick work of George. Start signing up and hopefully we'll have enough for the tournament in a week!
I have had a bit of feedback from people not able to find teammates for the tournament. I have 2 solutions for this.
If you want to pick your own teammate, there are forums up on the website (only thing weebly would allow is 3rd party forums, yuck) and one on the steam group here.
The second solution is that you sign up without a teammate, note your division, and we will pair you with someone else who has signed up without a teammate. If you sign up without a teammate and end up finding one, just add me or fill out the form noting that you don't need to be paired.
Hope this helps! I'm excited to get this going!
At this stage it is US only, but if you are from elsewhere, please sign up to show intent. I would like to purchase servers for Australia, Asia, South America, and possibly Europe. This is all depending on how many people we can get per region. If there are enough people that want to play, I would most definitely provide a server
Hello all! We're now on track again to start up bball.tf. Until that date, we decided to put on bball tournaments every other week for all skill levels. The plan is to have at least 3 divisions for each of the tournaments. We have one person streaming the games so far, but are looking for more. We are working to get a common overlay for you to use if you wish. We have huge plans for bball.tf and really hope we can culture a deeper appreciation for the game mode and enjoy some tournments!
First tournament date: Aug 2 starting at 7pm central time
Where: bball.tf mumble 69.65.40.33:2087
Prizes: 1 key per person on winning team for each division
As for some bball.tf news in general. We ready to go full steam ahead on the site. As of now, we have Pierre leading the website development with a team of others who plan on helping. We're hoping to get most of the website done by the time of TotH and hosting the bball section (fingers crossed). In the meantime, I have set up a makeshift placeholder website to use until we have the full website completed. As for the ideas at this stage, we're planning on
These are just the starting ideas, I have a short survey set up for the website to gauge interest and decide what to focus on. One question I have for the community. I would like to find some way to stream a server automatically through stv. I'm not sure if this is even possible but I'm hoping someone knows. Thanks!
looking for a ui guy to organize for us. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks again for all your support!
Hey! I can help you out or possibly combine efforts with what I'm doing. I'd love to have a chat. Add me whenever!
StimpackMarleyJust wondering here, but what are your guys thoughts on the shotgun, whenever I watch a high level bball game or play bball myself, having 4 shotguns on the court just seems like too many, due to how easily they stop momentum and basically slow the game down.
So what if instead of both players on a team using the shotgun only one soldier per team was allowed a shotgun(and the other obviously using gunboats), as not only would this (hopefully) make it less of a dm fest full of suicides because no-one has health to jump, and even when they do their perfect rj to the hoop gets denied by 30dmg shotgun that kills their speed, but it would also give more of a set role for the players, as the gunboats solly would become the designated intel carrier focused on getting to the hoop as fast as possible. while the player with the shotgun plays more of a defensive bruiser role, to deny the other teams gunboat soldier and deal as much damage as possible.
I also feel this would bring bball more inline with ultiduo except instead of the best pocket and and medic combo bball would be the best pocket and roamer combo.
Having gunboats soldiers is really frustrating to defend against because it's possible to jump into the hoop with 28hp without gunboats (27dmg rocket jump), which means with gunboats you can make the hoop with 12hp. Also a lot of people like to do the shit where they jump up, strafe wildly, land somewhere random, jump again, strafe wildly again, and repeat until they make the hoop. It's nice to be able to deny that strategy with the shotgun, unless you really enjoy shooting rockets at people who are strafing randomly to land in random locations. Forcing everyone to run shotgun limits the amount of times someone can jump, which encourages more skillful/efficient jumps. With good jumps it's also pretty easy to get around shotgunning/counterjumping/counterjump shotgunning.
On a side note it'd be cool if the righteous bison was allowed. I wanna see bison airshots.
In response to both of you, I do intend to eventually branch off some leagues (still keeping the original shotty league as an option). I have thought of no shotgun (with and without gunboats), as well as an everything goes league (except direct hit and reserve shooter). As of the initial season, we're just going to do regular bball and ultiduo. Most of what I've heard is for a the second option of more structure, we'll be deciding this on sunday, so please let me know if you're strongly against that move.
Figured I would give an update separate from my responses.
We now have the website domain, hosting, and a temporary site up at bball.tf as just a "coming soon" page. We have 2 coders and possibility of a few people for design. I'm looking to get an opinion from the group on the format of the league, because that's where we're at in development. Should the league be...
1. free form league play. challenge your own opponents within each division and gain ladder based points (much like mge scoring) for each match, win, etc. There will be rules to where you can't challenge the same person more than once or twice per season as well as some other rules to prevent people from rigging the system. Teams will have to complete one match 7-10 days after their last match was reported, and a minimum amount of matches played to be eligible for the playoffs.
2. Basically UGC style. Set match times (negotiable between the two teams, of course), set match opponents, and all that jazz.
Things that both options will include: on website score reporting and separate divisions for skill levels and regions. IF you want to give your input before this starts and decide which league to do, please do it now, while we are still flexible with the coding.
