Indian TF2 league season 1 rules

Indian tf2 6 v 6 League rules

Important - for this first season - we are only inviting Indian clans as we do not have an independent server to host this event and
this will be a good starting experience.however - clans from outside india are free to participate - just simply register in the registration thread and you will be done.

5 teams are registered now for the league - nH , TnT , tMg , sS and RD.


due to the small number of participating teams in this first season - the format will be slightly different.
rather than playing each team once - which will result in very few total matches all teams will play each other on 3 maps.
the selected maps for the league.

here is the list of the selected maps -
1) cp_well
2) cp_fastlane
3) cp_gravelpit
4) cp_badlands
5) cp_granary
6) cp_dustbowl

the 6 maps are divided into 2 groups of 3 maps -

group 1 - cp_well , cp_fastlane , cp_dustbowl
group 2 - cp_granary , cp_badlands , cp_gravelpit

each team will play each other on 1 group of maps.4 other teams that means each team will play each map twice.
the group of maps will be decided by the judging committee and the match schedule for the league should be up soon.


about the team roster -
the matches will be 6 on 6 and teams can have upto 15 (increased from 11) players in the roster.only players from the roster will be able to compete

server and admin info -

V-Street is sponsoring the league - they will be hosting the match server.it should be up in 2 days - i will add the server IP and other info here as soon as it is available.
