The total conversion mod "True Combat: Elite" for Enemy Territory is on the way to getting a competitive base. To give those teams the chance to participate on a serious level in a serious league we are on the way to establish the first big tournament in Europe for this new mod.

4 Teams will be in every group and in the upcoming 3 matchweeks, Upto 32 Teams are able to participate in in the ESL opening event for your very own True Combat Elite mod and it's very first seriously competive stage.

We will be using the 6 standard maps for the Opening Fall Cup:

When the groupstage is over, we may have a small break for christmas, but that won't be the end. After the break we will continue with the playoffs and finish the first big event for TC:E in Europe.

Get your team up and running
To join this event you have to create a team and your teammates have to sign up and join the ESL. If you have finished this step, you can join the event:

Sign Up here!
Open until 26.11.2006
or with 32 teams!

During the whole cup, you will be able to switch the teamsize. Default mode is 5vs5 and if you are not able to agree on a teamsize with your opponent, this will be played.

Server Config
To make sure nothing goes wrong, and everyone is playing with the most important settings like the objective gametype and the MR5 mode, you can download the ESL Serversettings right here:
Download
Download (Mirror 2 by eclipse-esports)

Just execute them with /rcon exec esl_server.cfg

Teams will be able to play with any amount of players so for example 5on5 one game and 6v6 the next. They will be played on MaxRounds 5. This is meant to be played on two maps and a 5 minute time limit for each round. Also a decider has to be played by elimination after a coin toss.
To get these settings up you have to download the official ESL Config using the above download.

Rule information: Any changes in advantage for you or your team in the config can result in penalty points and a rematch on a forced server.

When it's done
While the TC:E developer team offers public beta releases, the latest version will be played in the ESL. At this moment it's TC:E 0.49. With using such a public beta release we must inform everyone to not use any bugs. Any bad luck with bugs or bug usage will follow in a rematch of the given round. Also a bug report will be sent to the developer team to keep them on the road developing one of the best mods ET ever had.
Also, every player will have to record a demo of the war, you can do this by typing /record or /seta cg_autoaction 7 in the console. You need to start recording again at the start of the second map.

Anti Cheat!
As in other great ET mods like ETpro, Punkbuster is enabled in our config and must be activated during a match. Punkbuster still gets updated and the auto screenshots can be activated by each server admin.
