I’m putting together the ruleset for a FFA tournament coming very shortly. My initial thoughts are on our forums HERE. Please take a look over them and post any thoughts. I’ll open up sign ups soon. Perhaps running the tournament over the weekend of the CPL tournament so that the pr0s dont slaughter us all 😉

CPL WT – Rules [update]
The CPL posted the rules of conduct on the CPL Worldtour website. The PK version that will be used is 1.61 with the CPL mod (should be released today).
Players can choose the following maps:
DM_Psycho
DM_Sacred
DM_Absinthe
DM_Meatless
DM_Ballistic
DM_5quid01
Justin Blanchard about the primary and secondary maps:
The primary maplist is available for all players to choose from for any match. The secondary maplist is available to be used in conjunction with the primary for all qualifiers. The maps on the secondary maplist may also be used as tiebreakers, and to expand the pool of maps in the primary list as needed.
Secondary maps will not be used at CPL Turkey.
