HSP.HK Highlander Tournament Rules [English]:

1. Match time:

Every match will be started before 22:00 p.m. (GMT+8).

Matches have to be started within 15 minutes of the amended time. Otherwise the team without a full team of 9 players have to play with less players. If less than 7 players are available in the team, the team is given a forfeit.

2. Teams submission:

Participating teams must submit the full list of their members (including substitutes) and their steam id (the ID you obtain after you input status in console) 12 hours before the match starts. Every team could only submit 9 first-team members and 3 substitutes each round. The match on that day will be played by those 12 people. Which means if there are 4 members on the list missing during the match, a team could only play with less players, until they submit their new member list before next round.

3. Competition:

The HSP.HK Highlander Tournament will be played in a 9v9 highlander setting. The 4 competing teams will play in a league. Every team will play with the other 3, in a total of 6 matches. The team which wins the most matches will be the champion of the tournament. In case if two teams have the same score, the champion will be decided by the match result between the two teams.

4. Servers:

All servers and other related services will be provided by hsp.hk. The details will be announced in our steam group and forum.

5. Victory Conditions:

a) 5-point CP (cp_badlands): The team that has won 4 rounds or more rounds in 30 minutes wins the map.

b) KOTH (koth_ashville_rc1): The team that has won 3 rounds or more rounds in 30 minutes wins the map.

c) Attack-defend CP (cp_gravelpit): Play in the ABBA stopwatch config. Maps will be played in two sessions. In the first session, team A attacks first, then team B attacks in the second round. In the second session, team B attacks first, and then team A attacks. In the first round, A team gets 1 point if B team is unable to beat A team's time shown in the stopwatch. In the second round, B team gets 1 point if A team is unable to beat B team's time shown in the stopwatch. If after 2 rounds it is a tie (i.e. round score A 1-1 B). Both teams play another round with A attacking first and B attacking second. If B team is able to beat A team's time in this round, B team wins map. Otherwise, A team wins the map.

d) Payload (pl_upward): Play in the ABBA stopwatch config. Maps will be played in two sessions. In the first session, team A attacks first, then team B attacks in the second round. In the second session, team B attacks first, and then team A attacks. In the first round, A team gets 1 point if B team is unable to beat A team's time shown in the stopwatch. In the second round, B team gets 1 point if A team is unable to beat B team's time shown in the stopwatch. If after 2 rounds it is a tie (i.e. round score A 1-1 B). Both teams play another round with A attacking first and B attacking second. If B team is able to beat A team's time in this round, B team wins map. Otherwise, A team wins the map.


e) CTF (ctf_turbine_pro): The team that has won 2 rounds (securing enemy intelligence for 3 times) or more rounds in 30 minutes wins the map.

c) to finish the entire course of match with at least 7 players throughout the matches.
d) to submit results after a round (only when both teams cannot submit their results)

All Australian Christmas 2011 weapons are banned under weapon restriction section 7.

28-12-2011 - Added banned weapons to the match server configuration.

My only concern is it is too long to play that way, if every meeting we play 2 maps it will be much better. I think if both teams can play 2 maps at one meeting, then they should do it.

Added result and demo of HSP.HK Staff vs 9ay. ( HSP 0:1 9ay )

Yes, I think it is better to play 2 or maps in one go and when do they played don't really matters. Just schedule a meeting and play as much maps as they can, if its possible to play 3 in one go its even better.

The more meeting to schedule will only cause more problem finding the players. Players available today doesn't mean the next scheduled day, and more schedule the more problems.

If its possible I think matches should be scheduled in Sat/Sun afternoon/early night so the individual real life distraction will be less dominant to the tournament, and everyone will be happier due to the availability of players.

May I request an unban on cow mangler 5000 and detonator?

All teams must finish their match by 1st Feb 2012. This includes:

hsp.hk vs 9ay (2nd half)
pTend vs 9ay

p.s. LeMt forfeited the entire tourney. Therefore match results against them are removed.

UGC has updated their item ban list as follows:
- Winter Season 2012 excluded weapons are;
1. Reserve Shooter
2. The Enforcer
3. Machina
4. Pomson 6000
