ETF2L STAFF IS RECRUITING!

ETF2L is once again actively looking for volunteers to help run and maintain the league. We are looking specifically for

• Highlander Admins
• Anti-Cheat Admins
• Newspost/Coverage Writers
• Coders
• Media Producer/Designer

As the Coder requires some more specific knowledge, here is some more information:

ETF2L is looking for a backend developer who is fluent in PHP and knows his way around jQuery and CSS.

We also use Git, MySQL (MariaDB, actually!) nginx, some Ruby and Python, and of course the WordPress codex, so if you are at all familiar with any of those things, consider yourself lucky!

Due to the complexity of the ETF2L backend, it is of great importance that you know what it is being used for and how it is being used. As such, the ideal candidate would be willing to do some League Admin work preceding and/or alongside their coding duties. You’ll get even more bonus points if you can work in a team as well as being able to take initiative yourself and completing tasks alone.

Working on the ETF2L codebase is a true challenge. It has been modified, managed and cursed by many past programmers with different levels of skill and different programming standards. For that reason and others it is also important that you can handle confidential information with the appropriate care.

This does not mean we are full in the other roles, we always read and consider every application sent to us! If you are interested in any of the roles on the Staff, send an email to staff@etf2l.org with the following information:

• Name
• ETF2L profile link
• Country of residence
• Age
• Previous experience
• Special skills or contacts that may help the league (optional)
• Available free time

Final Divisions Released

The Final Divisions have been released, you can find them here.

Please also note that any teams without 9 players on the 3rd March could be dropped from Highlander Season 6. Make sure you have 9 players!

Staff Updates

For a while ETF2L has been headed up by a deadly duo, as opposed to the classic triple of Head Admins. However this period has come to an end as we welcome a 3rd Head Admin into the realm. This won’t come to many as a surprise, but Sonny Black is returning as Head Administrator after adventures elsewhere. We’d like to welcome him back and we are sure he can continue the good work from where he left off.

CHERRY is also working on a complete redesign of the website (see here and here) and is joining the Staff as a Site Coder. Please give him as much feedback on his work as possible!
