TPG Season 29

[defiance]

The start of regular season for TPG will be this Sunday September 9th, 2012. All the configs and maps can found by clicking the "Map Downloads" and "Server Configs" buttons on the left hand side of the screen. Thanks goes out to TPG|Bullet for fixing these buttons and getting the website back in some sort of working order. All maps and configs MUST be installed on your server PRIOR to match night.

Map Rotation:

week 1 dod_harrington
week 2 dod_chemille
week 3 dod_railroad2_b2
week 4 dod_solitude_b2
week 5 dod_anzio
week 6 dod_merderet
week 7 dod_lennon_b2
week 8 dod_donner
quarters dod_harrington
semis dod_railroad2_b2
finals dod_anzio

Here are some important things to remember:

1) Some rules have changed including: A) You must respond to match comm TWENTY FOUR HOURS BEFORE THE MATCH. The old rule was an hour before the match. B) You cannot take a FF win in the Playoffs. (Unless the team is dead) If no time can be agreed upon during the week, the following Sunday will become the new default day/time. C)TPG Reserves the right to move teams around at will. If a team picks up players who do not belong in a division, the players will either be removed from your team, or you will be moved up (AND disqualified from the playoffs if late in the season). Stop trying to sandbag.

2) Matches MUST be scheduled via TPG Match Comm. Teams that do not use this system to schedule matches will receive a FF loss if a match is not played. Teams must accept or propose matches. You can decline a proposal but you must follow with another proposal to get the match played in a reasonable time frame. If no proposal can be reached, DEFAULT time is final.

3) An Rcon Staus Screenshot is REQUIRED EVERY MATCH! Team captain and/or server operators MUST take one each round with ALL the players in the server. We've been giving people the benefit of the doubt in the past, but this rule will start to be enforced. The player listed as team captain(or acting captain if captain doesn't play) will be suspended for a week if an rcon status is not taken.

4) FF's. For a team to receive a ff win, they must first have accepted or proposed a match time via TPG Match Comm. If both teams have agreed on a match time both teams must join the server at accepted time. If the other team does not have enough players after 20 minutes, the team with enough players must take a screenshot of scoreboard showing their entire team in the server. This is to help you prove that you did show up and they didn't. At that time the team may leave and report a FF win. The other team does NOT have to allow you to use a RINGER. A screenshot of them agreeing is the best way to prove they allowed the ringer.

5) EVERY player should log into their TPG account to make sure their STEAMID and e-mail address is up to date. In the event of a dispute, having the wrong e-mail listed will NOT be a valid excuse as to why you did not upload your evidence.

6) Check your rates. Before every match players should check their rates to make sure they are set correctly. The values can be found in the TPG rules. Again, last season we let a lot of new people off with warnings on this rule, but older players have no excuse not to have the correct rates.

7) Any player found crashing vents/servers or sending packets to players will be removed from the league permanently. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.

8) MM1 violations. This is in the rules, read it. "They started it" will not be accepted as an excuse to violate this rule. Ignore them and submit a ticket with your demo/SS of infraction after the match.

9) READ THE RULES. This is the 29th season of TPG, at this point everyone should be acting like adults and knowing/playing by the rules. There should be no excuses or problems at this point in our DoD lives.

TPG wishes everyone the best of luck this season. We hope it is a good, fair season, with as few FF's and teams dying as possible.

Is is dbl ff loss if the match gets rescheduled to the next Sunday at 9est and the teams still can't make it for some reason?

[defiance]

That rule is for playoffs only, ace. It was implemented because people like to lie in match comm and tell teams they might be able to reschedule and then wait until the last minute to say "default only sorry." This would give whatever team couldn't make it to know they have an entire week to be there next Sunday at 9. If there's a problem, captains and admins will all have a get together to work something out. Everyone needs to stop being jerks to each other about scheduling.

Why are the playoff maps still in the same rotation? I thought they got mixed up every season.

[acetamino]

Each playoff map becomes progressively more team skill oriented.

The only map changed in the rotation of the playoffs its harrington instead of lennon_b2 last season. The semi final and final map still the same!


I agree with ace, but railroad2_b2 it's not one of the maps most teams want to play in semi final.

We felt last season's playoffs were really strong. 3 of the 4 finals matches were great back and forth battles on anzio. As ace said, the maps get progressively more team oriented, and we liked the way it worked out last season.

Id prefer a lot of maps over merderet, but i guess you take the good with the bad. Overall looks good, hoping for active and fun season.
