Should be fun, given the amount of members around here that play it.

I'm grabbing a bunch of friends to enter this with me.
Chances are we won't do too well, as I'm the only person used to dealing with ping upwards of one hundred and fifty, but that won't stop me!

Yeah, I got Portal a while back and I really liked it, might as well try other Valve games, right? Man, I really want TF2, I'm gonna get it this week for sure.

Sounds very fun, but I'm not sure if I can participate, living in Norway... My ping for the Escapist server is 130-180, so...

You find me a way to track scoring and the back-end stats on ANY console game and I will be more than willing to look into it.

Not sure about the video, but make sure you put you info into the TF2 Forum. There is a thread open for "Looking for a team".

Anyway, who wants to team up with me :D

We need a "find other TF2 players for the tournament" thread. An official one. That is, unless this one can double for that. If so, then disregard what I just said.

Follow the links in Spinwhiz's posts above, they go to that very thread in the TF2 Tournament forum sub-section, which you should also be able to get to from the forums index.

I'd really like to participate, but I'm very busy studying for finals right now.

The guys making these movies sure love the gesture where they swing their one arm upwards, pointing.

Why CP? WHY! All scrim standards are arena. Plus arena is a lot shorter therefore easier to work with.

For now, the only gestures available are the built-in moves that Valve uses. It's all pointing, fists, and shrugs for the most part. Stay tuned - one of the improvements on my list is to add more variety in gestures.

It depends on your team. We are going to have our servers open for quite some time to give everyone a chance to play.

Well that will teach me to actually read the rules instead of jumping on the bandwagon.

Dude, I play on American servers regularly and pwn trained donators. You just compensate for ping.
