Season IV: Vote results

1 Fixed Maps and Map pool
That were the first two votes and the majority asked for fixed maps and only "classic" maps, so here is the overview for the Playdays
Default playdays are:

1) Wednesday, 26/08/09 21:00 CET with Badlands and Freight
2) Wednesday, 02/09/09 21:00 CET with Gravelpit and Well*
3) Wednesday, 09/09/09 21:00 CET with Turbine and Granary
4) Wednesday, 16/09/09 21:00 CET with Fastlane* and Badlands
5) Wednesday, 23/09/09 21:00 CET with Freight and Gravelpit
6) Wednesday, 30/09/09 21:00 CET with Well* and Turbine
7) Wednesday, 07/10/09 21:00 CET with Granary and Fastlane*

The dates are only for creation of the matches and for the three-week deadline (Week 1 matches has to be played before week 4 begins which is Wednesday 16/09/09 00.00 CET).

Well & Fastlane are marked with * because if both teams agree, these maps can be changed to Yukon_final. The expection was made to get some fresh map play.

2 Freight
The final version was rejected, so we use cp_freight, here is a link for downloading.

3 Sandman
Again a large majority dont want to see stuns in TF2, so the Sandman will stay banned.

4 Force-a-Nature
That was the closed vote. Alot dont like it but a bit more think limit 1 is okay. So the FaN will be limited to 1. It may be strange to introduce such a limit, but the votes are clear against a limit 0 or no limit.

ESL Configs

After some necessary changes version 2.9 is the latest one which should be used for all matches. Please download it here.
Copy the cfg-files in the server-folder in your servers cfg-folder (e.g. via ftp) and execute the file via "rcon exec configname". If you cant do that copy the cfg-files from the client-folder in your personal tf2 cfg-folder and execute the file (after you entered the servers rcon password) via "exec configname".

For all maps execute the esl_tf2_6on6.cfg (e6on6).
For cp_gravelpit execute esl_tf2_6on6_sw.cfg (e6on6_sw).

Gravelpit will be played in the Attack-Defend-Defend-Attack mode and vice versa for the 2nd team. If you execute the stopwatch config (esl_tf2_6on6_sw) after the first Attack-Defend round, you have to ready up again. But before you do that, you must change the team color (RED <-> BLU) because TF2 will switch the colors after the 5-sec-Ready-Countdown.

Seedings

The seedings are correct now and it were done firstly to the last ESL Season (where e.g. Team Fruit won a division 2) and the actual skill (or estimation) of the team.
Here the list of the Top Teams:
Division 1
To check out where your team are placed go under Rankings.

More Details

We introduced the 5 point-difference winlimit for all push-type cp-maps (badlands & co)
All results need to be entered as 1:0, 0:1 or 1:1. Only 1 and 0 are correct scores to enter.
If you cant contact a team, please open a protest ticket for the specific match so that admins can help you.
The usage of ESL Aequitas is mandatory. Players can get temporary banned for repeatedly not-using.
The Game specific rules and all other ESL rules are of course valid, too.

Waiting list

You can still sign-up for the waiting list if teams drop out at the begin of the season, we can replace them with your team.
For this use the support ticket or write me/ my bouncer in #esl.tf2.
