TPG Easter Cup

[milo]

TPG's sizzling night of dod returns on SUNDAY April 20th. TPG is bringing back the House Cup for a full evening of great matches, the chance to play with new people, and for a lucky 6, the crown of the House Cup. Check out the details below but make sure to sign up soon to secure your spot.

It will be a one night tournament with a total of 8 teams. Please be prepared to play as few as 1 match and as many as 3 matches. There is no rescheduling! First round is at 9 pm est, Semis at 10, and Finals at 11. Each team will consist of 6 (SIX) members.

The first 48 players that sign up will be eligible for a team. If we reach 48 players, any additional players will be put on a ringers roster, and those will be the official ringers for the tournament. You cannot use a ringer if a team member is available, this is for fun, winning isn't everything. The minimum number needed is 48 players, if we don't reach it, the tournament will scrapped.

To sign up simply go to http://www.tpgleague.org/TPGCup/ and join the "Cup Entry" team. The password is "join" Please use your real handle when joining, add the last division played and add your first and second weapon class choice. (Example: Milo - Invite - Heavy). SIGN-UPS ARE NOW OPEN! Players that do not sign up with the required/propper information will just be REMOVED from the Entry Team.

We will also need 8 players who are willing to be captains. Captains should be near the same skill level and must be able to communicate effectively in English. Teams will be chosen in a draft format as long as there are 8 people in the same skill range who want to be captains. If not, the Admins and AC Team will just try and make the teams even. To be a captain steam message me (http://steamcommunity.com/id/wzrdd/) and I'll add you to the list. If you are chosen to be a captain, we will pick teams April 18 at night, around 10 EST (if that doesn't work, we will try another night to pick teams).

Quarters - Harrington
Semis - Railroad2_b2
Finals - Anzio

This Tournament is open to all players except those currently suspended for cheating.

*TPG Rules apply. Demos and SS are necessary. Disputes will not be handled until after the tournament is over.

**Ringers roster password is "ringer". * The Ringer must be approved by the opposing team! This is to help stop teams from replacing their last picks with a top player. However, teams/captains cannot reject ringers who are from a lower division than the player they are replacing without TPG Approval (Example: taylor is currently registered on a lower team, and TPG will block him from ringing for a team that didn't have an open player show. If, for example, k4b00m doesn't show up, a team cannot say no to any of the main/open level players from ringing without TPG Approval).

DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CAN'T/MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY, YOU RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE. If you sign up and do not show, you will be ineligible to play in the next Cup. If you're not 100% sure if you will make it but would like to participate if you are available, you should join the ringers roster.

I was talking to Milo about the draft order and wanted to post it on here so he can more clearly understand.

If you have 8 captains and the skill disparity is rather telling then you have to make it even. IMO what you can do is have the players ranked based on skill, 1 being the lowest and 8 being the highest skilled player. From there you draft in order 1-8 for the first round, the second round would then again be 1-8 so that the lowest skilled players have their rosters bolstered with earlier draft picks. From there the draft would continue in a snake motion. Please see below.

Round 1:
1 through 8

Round 2:
1 through 8

Round 3:
8 through 1

Round 4:
1 through 8

Round 5:
8 through 1

So while the first few teams would have the best picks in the draft at first in order to solidify their roster a bit, they would also get the last picks in the draft which would even out their overall skill levels with the higher skilled captains. This would also allow the higher skilled captains to have the better picks at the end of the draft so that they have more mid ranged players.

Well, it wasn't like I just didn't showed up. I did and I informed some of my draft team members that I had connectivity issues on a recurring basis prior the match. If my participation is going to be denied due to a technical event beyond my powers I can understand, however, it wasn't like I just skipped the tourny intentionally.

Dear Milo,

No offense bro but you are the ugliest **** I have ever seen. If I didn't know any better I'd assume your mom was a titty waitress at hooters, got pregnant, was fired for her slump in appearance, then couldn't afford an abortion so she had the local kids try and whack her bulging fetus like a piñata. Only you survived and that's how you ended up with such a disfigured face. Either that or you got baptized with scolding hot coffee. I bet if a blind kid felt your face he'd be asking why there's a pizza on this camels ass. shits disgusting bro get it sorted or at least wear a bucket over your head or something. peace

Cass had constant communication with me minutes before the match. He was having internet issues and was there to play but couldn't because of **** he could not help.
Warchyld had something come up last minute and couldn't attend but informed me in plenty of time
