Basketball Night Competition Info and Rules! (Please read if participating)
To participate in this event, you NEED to:
Competition Rules:
About teams: You will be able to pick your own teams. Though there is a limit of 2 players per team, so you guys will be partners. Only teams may enter the tournament, so you will need to form your team beforehand. Players are allowed to be on one team, and one team only.
About allowed weapons: Only Regular rocket launchers and the shovel will be allowed. Meaning no Direct Hit, no usage of the shotgun, no Equalizer, and no gunboats.
About practice sessions: Practice sessions are when we get into server and have actual practice rounds of what the tournament rounds may be like. This is to help people who aren't used to the atmosphere of Soldier Basketball and would like practice with other people. Practice sessions are not mandatory and will not prevent you from participating in the tournament. Depending on how many people come to the practice sessions will determine how long each round is.
About the tournament: The tournament itself will follow a single elimination format. So once your team has lost, you are out of the tournament.
About the rounds: Rounds will last up to 15 minutes and the first team to get 14 points, or has the highest score when the time runs out, wins that round.
Rules
1. Regular Rocket Launcher and Shovel Only
2. No Gunboats
3. 1 Flag cap= 1 Point
4. Good sportsmanship

How TF2 Basketball works:
There are two hoops on both ends of the map. The intel case (the ball) is located in the center of the map and once grabbed, you have to shoot yourself into the opposing hoop to score a basket/point.

To participate in this event, you NEED to:
- Be able to rocket jump. You won't get anywhere if you don't know how.
- Have the map downloaded already. This is so that the matches go smoothly and quickly. If you need help in downloading the map, please pm me or anyone on the Ec team.
- Have vent installed and ready to go. If you can arrive in ventrilo a few minutes before it starts, it would help a lot when organizing the teams.
