Off for Mothers Day

Hi,

I know it's obvious and redundant (it is already displayed in the schedule section since the season's start) but this is aimed for the nerds who can't live without playing their matches: there will be no matches this week due to the aforementioned Mother's Day (May 12nd). Week 6 matches will be played on the following Sunday (May 19th).

ATTN: Intermediate Teams

Due to the death of yet another South American team, we are down to uneven amount of teams in IM.  Currently, I don't feel as though there is anyone that can be moved either down to open or up from open.  As a result, we will have to move forward with an uneven amount of teams in the division.  We will do our best to make sure that everyone gets a BYE/FF Win so that it does not have a major affect on playoff seedings.  Obviously, a new team forming in IM+ would help solve the issue, but until/if that were to happen, be prepared to have a week off during the season.

Day of Defeat Update...What?

As most of you know there was an update to HL1/DoD today.  Everyone needs to make sure that they restart steam and open DoD to receive the update before next Sunday before the match.   We don't need a bunch of people waiting around, because you didn't feel like getting around to updating.  Some people are reporting some issues, and this CS guide works for DoD: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3079106

Please urge your team/friends to get this taken care of.  Just have some patience, and you will survive!

Season 31 Information

Season 31 will begin on Sunday April 7th, that gives everyone a little over 2 weeks from now to get their rosters signed up and completed.  Although it is still technically season 30, rosters are unlocked for teams that are not in the finals. There will be NO Preseason this season, due to the amazing amount of FFs that occurred last season. You guys have shown that you really don't care about preseason.  As a result, the season will be TEN weeks long.

week 1: dod_lennon_b2
week 2: dod_aleutian
week 3: dod_railroad2_b2
week 4: dod_emmanuel
week 5: dod_anzio
week 6: dod_halle_b2 (merdilla renamed)
week 7: dod_harrington
week 8: dod_donner
week 9: dod_solitude_b2
week 10: dod_chemille

This will be the 31st season of TPG. I hope everyone has fun this season.  On a personal note, this will be my LAST season as head admin of TPG.  I don't think its a good idea for anyone to stay in power for so long.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Daylight Savings Time Begins

This is a reminder for all South American teams.  In the United States, we will be setting our clocks 1 hour ahead on Sunday March 10th.  That means that your matches will be taking place one hour earlier, unless your country also takes part in this process.  Please make sure you communicate with your opponents to make sure you have the correct time.

Week 7 Map Change...again

Due to a major map glitch at the allies spawn gate, we are forced to change this weeks map back to dod_lennon_b2.

We will give lennon2 a try next preseason if the glitch is fixed.

Season 30 Roster Lock

Rosters for Season 30 will lock for good on Saturday, Feb. 16th at 9 PM EST or 24 hours before your scheduled match.  TPG reserves the right to remove players from rosters who try to drop down divisions and ruin competitive balance, so no funny business, please.

dod_lennon2_b1

This season we will be trying dod_lennon2_b1 in place of the usual dod_lennon_b2.  This map will be used during week 7, so you have plenty of time to see the (small) changes.  This does not mean we are leaving b2 for good, as if this map is not well received, we will go back to b2. 

Here is a link to everything you need including server configs: http://files.tpgleague.org/dod6v6/maps/dod_lennon2_b1.rar

Week 4 Map Change

Due to numerous requests for more time to learn dod_merdilla_b1, we have decided to push it back to week 6.  Week 4 will now be dod_solitude_b2.

There is now plenty of time to learn the map for week 6, no excuses.

Week 4 Map

The map for week 4 will be a new map called dod_merdilla_b1

Here is a link to everything you need including the config, please make sure all your players have it PRIOR to your scheduled start time.

Season 30 Begins!!

Schedules for week 1 are out! Team Leaders need to use the Match Comm found in their control panel as soon as possible every week.  If you don't do it at least 24 hours before default time, you run the risk of receiving a FF loss.  I would like to wish everyone good luck in this upcoming season.  Please do your best to keep your team alive, as TPG does not enjoy moving teams around midseason.  Any teams who are not already signed up, run the risk of not being placed until there is an even amount of teams.  Have fun.

Happy Holidays!

TPG would like to wish Happy Holidays to everyone! Be safe in your travels over the next couple weeks and we will see you back here for the start of the season on January 6th!

Season 30 Rule Changes

Below you will find rules that have been updated/revised.  I do not believe anything is too major, but everyone should be made aware of all the changes:

1) Any information requested by TPG staff must be provided in its entirety within 24 hours of the request. (Down from 36 hours)

2) Forfeit victories do not count towards your total number of wins in order to make playoffs. It is always in your best interest to get matches played, no matter what.

3) South Americans may use South American servers when playing another South American team.

4) Teams may file two cheating disputes in the regular season and one cheating dispute in the post-season. If a disputed player is guilty of cheating, the disputing team will not be charged with a dispute.

5) In the event of submitting HLTV demos of scrims/12mans, players must first watch the HLTV demo and provide the TPG-AC team with timestamps of why you feel a certain player is cheating.   This is done through the Support Ticket System. Tickets without information will be closed.

6) All dispute appeals must be filed within 24 hours of the original ruling. There is no guarantee of an appeal, every situation at the discretion of TPG Administration. (Down from 36, and clarification.)

7) Disputes can only be submitted by team owners, leaders, or designated match reporters. (Has always been a rule, will now be enforced)

8) Some rule violation punishments have been adjusted or clarified. 

  •  Trading of steam accounts to play in a match is a 1 month suspension for both parties involved. (was just listed as xx in the rules)
  • The Spec Hopping rule has been clarified. Once a match has gone live the use of spectator is deemed illegal. Any player found to be using spectator to avoid the spawn timer will be suspended for one week and the offending player's team will lose all points for that half.  Excessive spec hopping(more than once) will result in a FF loss. (Was a 1 "match" suspension and auto-FF loss.)

IMPORTANT: Pre-Season week 2 change

Attention all teams:

The map for Pre-Season week 2 will now be dod_chemille. dod_villa_b2 is causing problems for players/servers because it is the same map name as a previous map.  As a result, I have decided to just take it out of the rotation. Please play dod_chemille instead.


Thanks.

ATTENTION: South American players

I just wanted to clarify a rule regarding server usage.  When a North American team is involved, the server MUST be located in North America no matter what.  However, when there is a match that is South American vs South American, you are allowed to use a server located in South America, as long as the TPG config is used.
