Welcome back to another EFR Tournament! So the last tournament had a higher entry rate than we had anticipated, which caused our organization and results to be all over the place. Since it WAS to be expected of our first tournament, we're working to make this one much nicer for everyone involved.

This time around we will be hosting a 4's tournament in recognition of the new UGC 4's Division. 4's is a relatively new and experimental type of competitive TF2 so our version will be slightly different.

Here is a map of the tournament layout: http://puu.sh/8Dx2T.png (EarthFox did it all :3)

There will be an entry fee of 1 Key per team and each match will be recorded.

Grand Prize: 24 Keys
2nd Place: 16 Keys
3rd Place: 8 Keys

Distribute them how you like, however if you have backups don't forget about them!


So in a 4's tournament you have 4 players to a team. There are very few set restrictions on the classes in a 4's tournament however the following list provides the restrictions WE will be implementing. Your team may play as ANY of the 9 classes so long as conditions are met.

• No Heavy + Medic Combo. That means you cannot have both a medic and a heavy at the same time.
  
• No more than 1 of a single class per team (I.e. Each player must have a different class)
  
• Absolutely NO more than 1 substitute (Make sure your team is aware of the match dates)

• koth_viaduct_pro_rc4
  
• koth_badlands
  
• koth_lakeside
  
• koth_sawmill
  
• koth_nucleus
  
• cp_egypt_final
  
• plr_pipeline
  
• ctf_turbine

Since UGC rules are for fuddy duddys, we're switching things up a bit. There are NO item restrictions because after all, this is mostly for fun. There are still some basic rules which you can read above.

Unfortunately this time around there will in fact be an entry fee to keep the teams who enter dedicated and punctual. Our last tournament had far too many flakers. The entry fee for the tournament will be 1 Key PER TEAM. Thats half a key for each of your 4 members.

Pay your tournament entry fee to Daisuke Yukimura and provide a list of of your team members as well as their classes.

The matches will be mainly on the EFR official server however if both teams consent before hand, they may use another server of choice so long as EarthFox is present to spectate the match.

Matches in the tournament are going to be first to 4 wins with two halves in the match. 3 rounds in the first half and three rounds in the second.


We'll give everyone 2 months to gather team members and scrounge up the (fairly cheap) entry fees. Starting 3/4/2014 the 4's tournament is open for registration.
