Well, I just checked the calendar.

26th onwards is a Friday. So I do agree the working ones may not be able to get off from work on Friday. Thus, I hope tourney only starts 27th (Saturday) onwards.

I've a feeling you won't have to worry about TF2 because there are too few teams. ROFL!

Oh, they were custom maps? no wonder I didn't recognize them besides Junction (after looking at it in FPS banana) LOL!

And yes, unlockables should be allowed. However, what Cicak said may be a consideration as some weapons utilize mainly the crits in a game. Therefore, if crits were turned off then how'd it affect the unlockables too.

I think the organizer took this off somewhere else. That's why he's calling us to tweak it so it's more appropriate.

Anyway, I 2nd the riddance of custom maps.

And for the team list, how do the subs work? Provide you a full team list and anyone can be subs, or there's a limited number of subs as part of the team? Like 6 players and 2 subs?

Can't think of anything else to add besides that.

How many teams are there currently?

Ouch. That bad.

Hmm, maybe eClub could have a pub-type contest too so it'll create more exposure, awareness and joy of playing TF2 tot he public.

LYN++ does NOT have 70 or even a fixed 10 number of players now. I (or, you) can count the actual number of most committed (or, recent active) members with 2 hands, which are:
1. etsuko
2. strife
3. curry
4. zero
5. cheef
6. valent (temporary)
7. hitman
8. wateva
9. tomato

Our members who've been MIA with good reasons (I know already) were: spying

Our last member; Pocoyo, has been MIA without any reason thus far. And, these are some of the things we do pay attention in the clan.

Needless to say, I've repeated before everyone has a reason for doing or thinking what they're doing or blaming who they're blaming. Something I do my best to leave out for them to sort on their own.

As to support the TF2 community, despite my Friends list I only know a couple of frens closer to me. And as mentioned to zach on the phone, I did ask [TQ] but they lacked members as well.

And as much as I'd like to ask every Tom, d*** and Harry in my frens list who may be residing in Malaysia (KL, to be exact), I want them to want to join the tourney. There's too many reasons to debate on this so I'd like not to press this matter further.

But, I've the highest respect and thanks to eclub for moving forward with the tourney despite the number of TF2 clans which joined. It was also great to see Avin and Dylan.

I do hope in future TF2 will be fixed on a weekend (without the only 7-days prior notice). In driving more awareness and fun of the game, I recommend having mini contests for the public or other TF2 players to participate. Then, even better, newly formed TF2 teams on the day who participate get a mystery gift as appreciation for supporting the TF2 community.

I know some may think we shouldn't reward whereas some may support it - it's understandable. End said, there are many variables open for debate but I'm not here to do it. I just wanted to clarify on certain facts and share, everyone needs to think more openly of the other variables.

Cheers people and happy new year.
