TF2 - FAQ
We will add the answers to any frequently asked questions about the epic.LAN Team Fortress 2 Tournament here.
1. What is the team size?
6 V 6
2. What class restrictions will be in effect?
These details will be confirmed closer to the event.
3. What weapon restrictions will be in effect?
These details will be confirmed closer to the event.
4. I don't have a team or require an additional member
If you post in our forums here or join us in #epic.lan or Quakenet IRC you may be able to find a team with spare slots. Alternativly you will be able sign up as "in need" on our tournament system and we will do our best to put you in a team providing there are still spaces available.
5. Which room do I have to be in to participate?
You can sit in either room as they are connected to the same network, one room will have background music and announcements for big games during the day the other room will not have music on and announcements will be limited to tournament information. We strongly recommend that players in the tournament pick a seat in Hall 2, which is also where the tournament admin team will be based. The seating picker is available here.
6. What happens if I get knocked out in the group stages?
Well that's the end of the main tournament for you, but we'll have plenty of other activities for you to enjoy over the weekend, such as our puzzle hunt, pub quiz and big games programme. We'll also be looking at running a second fun TF2 tournament for anybody to take part in, but we'll schedule this to take place after the group stages of the main prize winning tournament so you can take part in that.
7. What time will the tournament start?
We don't have the exact start times planned out yet in our event timetable, but the TF2 group stages will definitely start on the Friday of the event, probably late morning. The friday start is to then allow for the fun tournament to start on the Saturday and have both the main and fun tournaments all finished by the Sunday afternoon.
8. Do we have to sign up to the tournament?
Yes. Tournament signups are now open. Your team must be registered for the tournament by 8pm Thursday 24th February.
9. How do I arrange my team's seating?
We have two ways in which you can manage team seating at our events.
a) One person buys all of the tickets (as vouchers) sits all of the team members and then allocates the voucher code to each team member to transfer the booking over.
b) Everybody books individually with the same clan tag and then nominates one person as the seating manager who can then control the team's seating arrangements.
