the source drafts were great

1 100 man vent

a locked draft channel for captains

no aliasing -- aliases = permanent ban

as each player is picked they are moved to that captains channel

then the remaining players just 12man until a ringer is needed..

Register Friday, draft 5 players Saturday , play your matches on Sunday. Players who don't show can be blacklisted from the next draft. More teams, baddies get to play, ringer list is smaller and less utilized. If you don't know that you can play your matches at the end of the weekend, then don't be an idiot and register at the beginning of the weekend.

I definitely agree with the 6 players picked, instead of 8, because those last 2 players are not very likely going to get to see any play time. As a captain, I feel bad picking the last 2 players, because of that fact. I personally want everyone who manages to sign up in time to get playtime. Doesn't matter how good they are, this is a draft, you're not going to have invite players all the time, if needed, they can ring for an upper level player who doesn't show. Also, I think the fact that this fills up in 1 or 2 days, means we can do a couple more teams, and have a bigger bracket as a result, let everyone who signs up get some playtime.

Just my 2 cents

the best way to get better at this game is play with people you enjoy playing with, generally thats your team so you guys can get team scrims and improve cause its a team game. drafts and 12 mans etc will just help you individually which is great but unless youre jules

that only goes so far. I wouldnt worry about getting sat out of a draft, its not much different than 12 mans, in reality you build teamwork as you go.

Appreciate TPG admins for setting this up, it sounded like it was another fun cup!

Talking about the draft and the bench players, there were 20 ringers who signed up and each cup team had an extra 2 bench players, that's 36 people in total that wanted to play but didn't get the chance and 16 of them were quick enough to actually get on a team.

I have to agree with crono & co who said that it would be fairer to do teams of 6 instead of 8. Once the required amount of people needed for the cup sign up, why not just let the rest sign up as ringers? This cup proved that enough people still sign up wanting to play even if they were too late to get on a team, and if they sign up after the teams are filled they do so knowing they may not get to play. Saves a bit of disappointment that's all.

Personally, I would have happily stayed up till whatever time GMT to play in the summer cup if I knew I was going to play at least one game but staying up knowing I wasn't going to play at all even if I signed up in time felt a bit pointless.

Not upset at anyone as these things are hard to organise and will never please everyone but at the same time I think it's fair that if people sign up in time to play they at least get that chance (regardless of skill or how well known they are in the community, we all play for fun anyway don't we?)

Maybe the next one will work out better for everyone! Congrats whoever won

Im sure you havent been on the bench the last however many tpg seasons you have played. Or in 12 mans or anywhere else

You guys had a sick team, and after the draft I thought defiance did a great job drafting. Nothing against him, but skill-wise he was probably a lower tier player (from the captains) and drafted a super solid team. I had to head out before the finals got started, but that's awesome. Way to go, pendejos

Tin Bad wrote:Ready for a sizzling summer night of dod? On July 28th TPG brings back the Night Cup for a full evening of great matches, the chance to play with new people, and for a lucky 6, the crown of the Summer Night Cup. Check out the details below but make sure to sign up soon to secure your spot.

It will be a one night tournament with a total of 8 teams. Please be prepared to play as few as 1 match and as many as 3 matches. There is no rescheduling, First round is at 9 pm est, Semis at 10, and Finals at 11. Each team will consist of 8 members (6 starters and two backups).

The first 64 players that sign up will be eligible for a team. If we reach 64 players, any additional players will be put on a ringers roster, and those will be the official ringers for the tournament. You cannot use a ringer if a team member is available, this is for fun, winning isn't everything. The minimum number needed is 48 players, if we don't reach it, the tournament will scrapped.

To sign up simply go to http://www.tpgleague.org/NightCup/ and join the "Cup Entry" team. The password is "join" Please use your real handle when joining, add the last division played and add your first and second weapon class choice. (Example: Tin Bad - IM - Rifle/Heavy)

We will also need 8 players who are willing to be captains. Captains should be near the same skill level and must be able to communicate effectively in English. Teams will be chosen in a draft format as long as there are 8 people in the same skill range who want to be captains. If not, the Admins and AC Team will just try and make the teams even. To be a captain email me (tinbad@tpgleague.org) or steam message me (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197963831480/) and I'll add you to the list. If you are chosen to be a captain, we will pick teams July 24th at night, around 1030 EST (if that doesn't work, we will try another night to pick teams).

Quarters - harrington
Semis - chemille
Finals - anzio

This Tournament is open to all players except those currently suspended for cheating.

*TPG will also be using this Tournament to test out an anti-cheat client with the community. If all goes well, we will consider using it for the upcoming season. More details to come on Monday regarding the Anti-Cheat Client.

**TPG Rules apply (New Rules and changes to some rules will be announced on Monday July 22, 2013 and WILL apply for the tournament). Demos and SS are necessary. Disputes will not be handled until after the tournament is over.

DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CAN'T/MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY, YOU RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

Hey why make the Capt's pick 8 players .... knowing only the best will be playing and the rest are sitting on the bench ... make it more teams with 6 players instead of 6 teams of 8 that way everyone gets to play .....

I got one spike (I think when the first screen shot takes) and then the rest felt completely clean. My PC was built ~5 years ago and my graphics card is a downgrade since my original stopped working. I think it's probably something on your end. Maybe how it behaves with an anti-virus?

by **DanJhonson** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:58 pm

Huh, it looks like it is probably something on my end then. I have a fairly modern PC, so it shouldn't be bogging it down or anything like that. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

pretty unfortunate that a power outage caused me to miss the sign up and now i dont get to defend my title as a captain. HOWEVER, i will be around all night so anyone who needs a ringer, come grab me first to play whatever class you need

With only 6 per team, more people get thrown into the ringer pool and teams could still field 6.

I agree with Crono. That way, any open players who signed up before the cutoff would get their chance to play and not have to wait for somebody to randomly not show up.
