Servers

How to setup a serveme.tf server for the cup

Refer to the Rules section of the cup to know which config and map to use. We recommend players to use serveme.tf to reserve the servers in advance for the cup, simply choose the correct config for the Server Config option and Whitelist.tf (custom whitelist) for the Item whitelist option, Whitelist.tf ID is 598. See the image on the right for an example of a correct set-up.

Players are free to use their personal servers as long as they have the correct settings.

Note: From the semi-finals onwards every match will be played on servers provided by us.

Reporting results

Players should report their own scores through the challonge cup page on the brackets (click '?' links next to your game) and submit with an attached screenshot and the full result (ie 2-1, not 1-0), after that an admin will review the result submitted and approve it as soon as possible.

Refer to this image on how to submit the results

Note: If the attachment is too big to submit upload the image to imgur or dropbox and add it as a link

Sign-Up

The sign up price is 2 keys per team, the key should be traded to the steam user below at the time of signup, we will also require your e-mail or challonge username to invite you to the cup, keep in mind the user invited to the cup on challonge will be the one updating the results from their matches.

You should also have in hand the steam profile links of both the players in your team and the desired team name.

To sign-up for this cup you should add Kaneco on steam.

(Please make sure you are adding and trading the correct user)
