I started typing up some rules today, will review them with gerb and make some kind of final ruleset. I also setup a server config specifically for the tournament. The server will be configured similar to an etpro scrim setting. This would mean there won't be skill upgrades, can blocking and kicking, nade kicking, goomba, poison needles.. etc.. Some other settings were also matched to etpro.
We have decided the tournament will be a 4vs4 with 1 rnade per team allowed.
The current map pool I've made up: Frostbite, Adlernest, Braundorf_b4, sp_delivery_te, supply, tc_base, and radar
Every user will need PB enabled and to have an etkey, and post the last 8 characters of their PB guid on the tourney website. More on that in rules list
Teams are allowed up to 6 players, and a minimum of 4 players.
Spectators are only allowed if BOTH team captains agree. Admin spectators are allowed no matter what.
Planting dynamites at weird places which does NOT require a stack is allowed as well as Trickjumps, proning, spawnkilling, spawnpassing, spawncamping, and selfkills (a.k.a. killing out).
You CAN take side on any map, you can go whichever way is possible in a map which is not some sort of bug (like getting inside the towers in fuel dump).
Mines disabled (because it's 4vs4)

Nobody is allowed to play for multiple teams in the tournament. Nobody is allowed to pretend to be another player in the tournament and play on behalf of their team. Doing so will result in an expulsion from the current season from both teams involved!
A Demo of each round must be taken by each player. The demo must be saved for at least the remainder of the tournament. If any team thinks another team was involved in unfair play, contact an admin on xfire and have the demos ready to send. Demos will be reviewed and you will be notified as soon as a decision has been made. All decisions made by admins are non-disputable and arguing with admins will not be tolerated. Failure to present the demo on request will result in the entire team being expelled from the remainder of the current season. An admin may also request a demo from any player in which case the player MUST give the demo to the admin or suffer the same consequences. To enable autor ecording use this in your config or enter the command directly into your console at the start of each match: "cg_autoaction 1".
If a user is banned from this tournament he will not be able to compete during the current season and the immediate following season.
If your opponent does not show after 15 minutes, contact an admin on xfire. An automatic win is granted to the team who DID show up for the match.
They don't have to have a specific IOW, Bunker, SAS team....with only players from those clans, and if they have more than 4 players interested they can have multiple teams... so if IOW knows someone from SAS 2 + 2 = they can make a 4 man team.
Remember, I am waiting for gerb to come home and see what I've done and provide his input, so some things may be subject to change. This is just a little preview to get people familiar/excited and if anyone has questions that's fine too.
