Event Format

This page details the format that we will will be following for the CutThroat event.

Pre-Event Warmup

We shall be starting with a pre-event warmup while we make sure everything is ok and teams can sort out any last minute business. This will be carried out on the fun server between 5 and 6:30 although the event does not actually start until 6:30. All participants will be expected to join TeamSpeak during this time, as early as possible.

Stage 1: Starter Leagues

For the first stage, we will have teams in League A and League B playing against each other to find the best two teams from each league to move onto the next stage.

Matches for this Stage:

Match 1: 18:30 - A1 v A2 - Server 1 - cs_office

Match 2: 18:30 - B1 v B2 - Server 2 - cs_office

Match 3: 19:20 - A1 v A3 - Server 1 - de_dust2

Match 4: 19:20 - B1 v B3 - Server 2 - de_dust2

Match 5: 20:10 - A2 v A3 - Server 1 - de_nuke

Match 6: 20:10 - B2 v B3 - Server 2 - de_nuke

Stage 2: Leagues Combine

For the second stage, the top 4 teams will play one team against each other one team against each other, again 8 rounds a side. One team from each league will play one from the other:

Match 7: 21:00 - A v B - Server 1 - de_contra

Match 8: 21:00 - A v B - Server 2 - de_contra

Stage 3: 3rd/4th place playoff

The two losing teams from Stage 2 will play against each other on a map 8 rounds each way. The winner of this match will be declared in third place, and the loser will be 4th. Match Server 2 will host this game.

Match 9: 21:50 - T3 v T4 - Server 2 - de_tchs_fusion

Stage 4: Winners Match

The final match will see the two winning teams so far play against each other until we have a winner. Match Server 1 will host this game, so it will take place after the 3rd/4th place playoff.

Match 10: 21:50 - T1 v T2 - Server 1 - de_tchs_fusion

After Match Winddown

After the matches have been completed all participants are welcomed back to the Fun Server for a gungame/other gamemode to wind down the evening.

In the Event of a draw

In the event of a draw the number of times a team has completed the objective will be used to determine the winner. If this also ends up as a draw, then a knife fight will determine the winner. Similarly, a knife round will occur before each game to deceide which team starts on what side.

SourceTV

We will have SourceTV running on all servers, to allow people to watch these matches while they happen and also the replays will be uploaded onto the replay service as soon as possible to allow people to watch the match.

Maps

The only custom maps we are using are de_contra and de_tchs_fusion. We will be releasing a map pack closer to the date to allow you to make sure you have the maps before playing.

Note that times here are based on what we expect based on standard rounds. Times may adjust depending on how things work out.
