6v6 - Season 10 Go

posted by b0nes @ 02:42 PM GMT Fixtures have been generated. Team leaders and deputies can now see their fixtures and begin to arrange them. Week 1 starts Monday, therefore the deadline for week 1 games is Sunday 5th. Do not delay in arranging games.

If by Sunday 5th week 1 games are neither played or scheduled & confirmed then a default date will be added, if you cant make the default date/time then you will have to play a wildcard (2 per season). But dont be slack, get games arranged and played.

I remind all members that times on the wireplay site are shown in local times, so although you might discuss playing in cet you should enter the time on the site in your local time. If the clock on the top right shows you the wrong time then you should set your correct timezone in control panel - edit site profile.

Soon we will be inviting clan leaders to the steam groups to help arranging games and contacting admins. If you were in a group last season you need to confirm you have been removed with steam before we can add you. If we don't invite the right member from your team then please contact an admin.

Make sure you update your servers with the latest wptf2l.cfg.

Admins are available on irc if you need any assistance at all.

6v6 - Provisional Tables

posted by b0nes @ 06:56 PM GMT Please see the preview page for the map structure and provisional tables.

Signups have been lower than hoped (for various reasons we wont go into right now) and as a result its been really hard to place teams. We have as you may notice got rid of div6 totally, therefore when looking at the divs do not think in terms of etf2l divs, think in terms of the teams around you.

If we have made a mistake (it can happen) in placing a team, please seek an admin in #wptf2l and we will do our best to move them, however it may not always be possible. Teams have until Wednesday afternoon to let us know. After that fixtures will be generated and we will get under-way.

Waiting list teams are still needed, signup now to be added.

6v6 - Main Signups Closed - Waiting List Open

posted by b0nes @ 09:46 AM GMT Teams who apply to join the league now will be added to the waiting list and included in the league as teams drop. This always happens so there's no reason not to think teams applying now will not get to play in the season.

6v6 - Format Update

posted by b0nes @ 12:42 PM GMT Maps
We counted the votes here and decided to stick with it. Maps will be played twice each:
• cp_granary
• cp_badlands
• cp_gullywash_final1
• cp_foundry
• cp_snakewater
• cp_warmfront
• cp_gravelpit (2 rounds only)

Unlocks
We will add Crusader's Crossbow to the med unlocks

Game Times
The times listed earlier were suppose to be guidelines. Although stating that 'most' teams will want to play between 19-21gmt/20-22cet its not exclusive, you could add 30mins either side for a lot of teams. We will always seek teams to use common sense and mutual understanding when arranging game times.

Signups
Signups have started a little slow and there are a lot of teams who have joined who still need to have 6 registered players. Teams have until Thursday 19th to signup with 6 members to guarantee a spot in the season, after that the waiting list will open.

Team Placement & Help
If your team didn't play last season or need to tell us which div you think you should be in, then you need to find an admin in #wptf2l, If you don't have irc use quakenet webchat, alternatively message me here. This is especially important if you are a new team and we cannot find reference to you anywhere.

6v6 - Season finished... well almost

posted by b0nes @ 12:23 PM GMT Well done to all teams that stuck the course and saw out another decent wireplay season. It ended well with a lot of decent games in the final weeks. As always slightly marred by folds and drops but that cant be helped. I hope you all had some decent games and will come play with us again.

But its not quite over, there is the matter of prize playoffs, you can see the match-ups on the tree. We will try and stv what we can if teams tell us when they are playing.

Congrats to those who had a successful season, my personal thanks to the admin team for doing another fine job, and lets hope there's more to come.
