Congratulations to the TPG division winners! There was some surprising playoff results in each division, and some dramatic upsets, but in the end the best teams prevailed! Much thanks to them and everyone else for making season 25 a lot of fun.

TPG matches will proceed as normal during this Father's Day weekend. If necessary, you can reschedule your match up until Wednesday at 9PM EST. Feel free to exercise that option as needed. It's week 10 and there are some playoff implications on the line, especially for some lower teams, so let's try and get it done this week! Good luck and happy Dad's Day to all the fathers out there!

Rosters will be locking for the rest of the season and playoffs on Saturday, June 18th, at 9:00 PM EST.

I made an update to the tpgbasic.cfg match config which controls all server variables. There was an outdated value that gave the bazooka class the wrong limitation. It has been corrected and limited to 1. All teams should update to the new config as soon as possible. If a team is found to still be running the old config and is taking advantage of the bazooka class limitation, they will automatically receive a forfeit loss, so please be aware.

You can download the updated config from the link below, and unzip it to your server's "dod" folder:

Be advised that we are changing the official week 8 map from dod_avalanche! Due to some significant grenade bugs that are still present in the map, along with the circumstances that can be taken extreme advantage of through the use of boosting, I am changing the map to dod_emmanuel_b1. It's a new custom map that may have the potential of becoming a mainstay in the competitive DoD scene. It was created by "lerf" who has made other competitive maps like dod_lennon_b2, so I'm confident it will be a good substitue for avalanche. It has been played in a few 12 mans already with a lot of positive reviews, so we'll give it a shot here in TPG. Hope you guys like it.

Download dod_emmanuel_b1 files below and extract to your "dod" folder:

Just as a reminder to all TPG players, I will be enforcing the screen shots rule a little more strictly from now on. Some of you guys submit 20 screen shots with your demos and all 20 are useless. Then some of you submit 4 and they are all valid and it's all we need to see. I would advise everyone to go over rule 4.4 and make yourself familiar with the proper screen shot procedures. You only need to have 4 total if you've done it correctly. Snipers will need 6, the additional 2 being a scoped-in shot.

  net_graph 3
  cl_minimap 2
  +showscores

All of these commands need to be in effect simultaneously to make it a valid screen shot. In addition, you are also expected to provide end round shots. You can enter the command below into your config to take automatic screen shots at the end of every round:

I modified the rules a bit to make it clear that weapon spawning is illegal in TPG. Be aware that any time a member of your team is spawning weapons to get around the class limits, there will be consequences. Refer to rule 7.4 for more information.

We apologize for getting preseason week 2 schedules out late. They were going to be released last night, on Wednesday at 9 EST, as usual, but the TPG website was down for a few hours. They're out now. Feel free to push your match back a day or so if necessary.

We are jumping right into season 25 due to popular demand. If you plan on playing this season we advise you to join up soon. Preseason schedules will come out on Wednesday, with the first matches being played this weekend on April 3rd. The map rotation is posted in the Schedule section, and all of the necessary maps and configs can be downloaded from the links below.

A number of people are confused about the season roster lock. It will go into effect Feb 12th at 9:00 PM EST. Once the rosters lock for the week 9 matches, they will not unlock.

TPG will taking it's last week off for the Super Bowl weekend. Some teams have come out and said they will not be available to play on Sunday. Others have trouble rescheduling during the week. So with that in mind we will push week 9 on dod_lennon_b2 back to February 13th. Everyone enjoy the big game, and we'll see you back next week!

There has been a rule change effective immediatly, to rule 7.4 Match Infractions;Player fails to record valid demo(s).

The new rule goes as follows:

Failing to record a valid demo for one half will result in a three month suspension.
Failing to record a valid demo for both halves will result in a six month suspension.
Failing to provide any valid demo(s) will result in ff loss for your team.
Partial or corrupt demo(s) will be considered as invalid demo(s).
Upon second infraction of this rule, player(s) in question will at a minimum, be suspended for one year.

I have done this rule change due to the amount of disputed players failing to record/submit or corrupting demos. This has to stop! You MUST RECORD DEMOS for every half along with taking screenshots! Forgetting should not be an excuse. The team captain should remind everyone as well as teammates to record. Matches will get overturned and players suspended for lack of demos. Remind your teammates at the start of each half.
