Here we go again. The registrations are closed now, we are really happy about over 20 more teams joining in the last week. We are proud to announce 50 teams joined up. And it’s nice we managed to became a big European league with teams from 11 different nationalities. These are the teams who will participate in the 1^st ETF2L Season:

• 11 German teams: Authentix, FsA, La gente loca, last one alive lock the door, IsF, S@W, veil, x23, Xeno-Project, Herbs Army, simply IQ

• 10 Finnish teams: Anonymous Tactics, Blood Pressure, Clan United, coldFusion, Legioona, Neatmeat, Prima Nocta, Team Jobola, Team Novel, The MIPC Organization

• 7 Swedish teams: FADER, IDAC, Jagarna, Kno I Horn, Kompaniet, Slackerz, syre

• 6 European teams: 4Kings, Kaizen, Rejects, The Last Resort, wotr, Fracture

• 4 French teams: fof, N!nja Clan, vcm., vVv

• 3 Russian teams: Chthonians, Team Empire, LOL Team

• 3 English teams: infused, 9 Men, Clan DA

• 3 UK teams: charge, Fragtastic!, hybrid

• 1 Portuguese team: 5 Quinas

• 1 Polish team: Total Llamas

• 1 Belgian team: LRRP

Still we want to remember you that the first season will start in the week of the 7^th January. From this week on you will have to play one league game every week. You will have to schedule these games with your opponents. For a smooth running of the league we have to please every team to possible add an IRC channel to their team info. Every team who doesn’t have an IRC channel should have a representative of their team idling on our league channel #etf2l at QuakeNet. Beside that every team needs to have at least (!) 6 members in their roster (with correct TF2 SteamIDs) by the 20^th December. These teams are affected:

• No irc channel: Chthonians, Fragtastic!, La gente loca
• Not having 6 people with correct TF2SteamIDs: Friede seiner Asche, La gente loca, Hybrid, N!nja Clan, LOL Team, Rejects

Notice: You won’t be able to change your player roster after 20.12.2007; you will need to contact an admin for any change after this date.

Also the vote procedure for the final rules of the 1^st Season is over; only ctf_turbine made it to the mappool for the 1^st Season and sadly also the normal score system for dustbowl & gravelpit won the vote.

How do we go on?

A small How-To for every teams who still want to sign in for the 1st Season:

How do I sign up my team?

1. You need to register on the ETF2L site at this link: http://etf2l.q3f.org/wp-login.php?action=register
1b. ATTENTION: Anyhow, if you got a hotmail-email-address, you are not getting the 1st email with your password.
Use that link for receiving an email with your password (only for hotmail users): http://etf2l.q3f.org/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
2. When you logged in on the site, follow http://etf2l.q3f.org/wp-admin/ –> “Register Clan”

Some explaining of the possible dustbowl & gravelpit score systems:

a) Fixed Round-Timelimits

There is a fixed time limit for every attack/defend round. Timelimits (not final!): gravelpit ~12mins/round, dustbowl ~18mins/round (~6mins/stage)

b) Change of Respawn Delay

Respawn delays could be changed. Attacking team could get longer respawn delays then the defending team

c) Change of Additional Times

Dustbowl additional times could be changed from 4:30 minutes to 3:00 minutes. On gravelpit, additional times could be changed from 3 to 2 minutes

The starting cup first round fixtures are scheduled to take place this week. I have however noticed that 4 fixtures have not been added to the calendar. I urge you to add these fixtures as soon as possible. Fixtures can be added by going to your dashboard (Site/Clan Admin Link) and then clicking “Calendar”. The following clans need to submit their fixtures and these fixtures MUST be played this week:

• FoF vs. Veil
• Xeno-Project.tf2 vs. The Last Resort
• charge vs. Team Jobola
• animus vs. HerbsArmy (Red Squad)

Also it is imperative that those of you competing in the cup make sure your player rosters are up to date with steamids. Once the season signups close tomorrow evening player rosters will be locked soon after, those of you not registered in the rosters with a steam id will NOT be eligible to play in the league so its up to the clan admins to register your players as soon as possible! Particularly the following clans need to update their details:

• 5 Quinas
• charge
• clanda
• FoF
• Friede seiner Asche
• La gente Loca
• Metal
• Weapons of the Rebelion

Clans in bold need to act swifty as they are competing in the cup. Player rosters should be in the format <steamid> <name>, one per line without the <,>.

I’d also like to remind you that for each game your clan admin needs to submit a screenshot from the beginning of the match with a list of steamids and players, and one at the end of the match showing final scores.

Edit: Please also have a look at the other two news posts published below including the mappool and dustbowl/gravelpit score system votes.

At first we have to apologize there is a problem for users who registered with a hotmail email address. As it looks like these users don’t get the confirmation email with their password. If you are affected by this bug please contact us. We are trying to solve the problem as soon as possible.

As we already guessed before, the custom maps will have to fight at the voting’s for their possible addition to the mappool. We decided to extend the mappool votes until Thursday 19CET as two of the votes nearly have 50% for each answer at the moment. Not voted yet? Have a look at the end of the 2^nd news on this site!

Today we finally open a vote for possible dustbowl & gravelpit score systems. Of course the normal score system will be a voting option as well, but remember many matches on these maps will possible end in a draw then. We hope to find a good way of score system by this vote. But still we are up for discussions or constructive criticism in the comments or on the forum. The vote will also end coming Thursday, 19CET.

Some explaining of the possible dustbowl & gravelpit score systems:

a) Fixed Round-Timelimits

There is a fixed time limit for every attack/defend round. Timelimits (not final!): gravelpit ~12mins/round, dustbowl ~18mins/round (~6mins/stage)

b) Change of Respawn Delay

Respawn delays could be changed. Attacking team could get longer respawn delays then the defending team

c) Change of Additional Times

Dustbowl additional times could be changed from 4:30 minutes to 3:00 minutes. On gravelpit, additional times could be changed from 3 to 2 minutes

We finished a first version of the league config which is available here. Remember your server also needs to have TFTrue 1.2 installed which you can find here.

One more notice for the ETF2L Starting Cup 1^st Round: Team’s admins will have to make a status screenshot of players Steam IDs before game starts and a scoreboard screenshot at the end of the match. These have to be uploaded to the league site.

As that’s the last news post before Season 1 Sign-Ups end we remember you again to register your team! The next two days is your very last chance to participate in the 1^st Season! Remember there will be a division format, so every skill level can sign up and have some competitive fun!

After the Sign-Ups are finished, we will work on the division format. When the divisions are set, all teams can pick their maps. The 1^st Season will start in the week of the 7^th January.
