It's ok in Chrome and FF, but in IE it's messed up now...

[BBloke]

IE Is the scum of the earth. I fixed the problem... just place the image in a table and it's back to how it should be.

ETF2L is changing the layout of the highlander menu options a.t.m. so i'm expecting an announcement about the continuation of the tournament very soon...

Next week are the tie-breaker matches for the groups that dont have a clear no.1 yet. They should all be cleared on the 7th of November.

The knockout cup will start directly after that! In the week from 8 till 14 November we have to schedule the first match, which has to be played the week after that. (week 46)

So if all the knockout phases follow each other up week after week, the final will be played in the first week of Januari.

[BBloke]

Wow.. there's a lot of tied games to be played... Didn't realise the comp would run for so long then again I guess neither did ETF2L.

35 groups of the total 256 are not settled yet.

13,5%

Semi Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode
Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode
If both teams win one map a 3rd decider maps has to be played. Remember that in the Cup Stage a map can not end in a draw!

On cp_gravelpit play Best of Three.
koth_viaduct is played as Best of Five ( = mp_winlimit 3) and without timelimit.
If you play a 5 CP map in the finals or in the semi-finals, play a golden cap round of 10 minutes in case of a draw. The first team to cap all 5 points or the team that holds the middle at the end of the timelimit wins the map.
On Attack/Defense maps like gravelpit or Upward you need to capture the screen saying e.g. “BLU wins!” like in this example. In case of a decider round, add the screenshot of the golden cap to the match report.
