We decided to organize the Tomtefortress tournament this christmas as well. But due to the low number of TF-players we decided to play it a bit after christmas, on 11.1, so that more people have a chance to attend.

So gather up a team of 5+ players, grab the necessary files from the webpages and sign up your team with ilex or elimi on QuakeNet #tomtefortress.

wow that' nice! I don't have a team, hope to have a chance to play as a pickup player.

So go and make a mix team for dm-players. Advertise it

It would be nice to make qtv broadcasting of tournament and to add link to http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/

We are not taking any more clans now. We ended up with 9 clans.

The schedule has been created and can be found on the Tomtefortress -pages at http://www.elimi.jossain.com/tomte2008.htm Feel free to give feedback regarding the schedule or anything else.

"Tomteteam" is a mixed team for players who dont feel like organizing a new clan but still want to participate. You can still have your name added to their roster at #tomteteam Quakenet. The other teams might also need more players - ask the leaders.

The amount of teams and the schedule will hopefully not be changed anymore, but we do accept new player additions to the teams.

On matchday 11.1 it will be a good idea to hang around #tomtefortress and #tomteteam - some teams might need stand-ins, it is after all a rather small scene and people might have unexpected problems

We will have a qizmo cam or/and QTV for the semifinals, bronzematch and the final. As for the group games we would probably need someone to act as cam, as all of the admins are also participating in the tournament. So contact me, elimi, ilex or skeletor on #tomtefortress if you think you could help out with that. (Not saying that the group games would be a huge attraction, just that we prefer one spectator (cam) over 5 spectators spamming smilies )

We might even have some preview of the teams /groups / winners later on but that remains to be seen (contact us if you think you can contribute with that)

good job getting this going, but it's a shame the coverage is so bad.
ed: and i'm not talking about the commentary but one (full) qizmo and not even a .qw or .spam about any of the games is bg.

DM-players seemed very uninterested about the tournament and it seems only I remembered to announce the stuff somewhat badly at the beginning of the second map in final, which was the only game bo3, as all others were one-mappers only. Anyway Legends of TF won the tournament and Classic came in second

e: and also yours truly and the handymen of CMT played some really tight matches with both of the finalists, one being a bore draw and one a loss by one cap
