Bring your clans. Bring your friends. Let's make this tournament big! All tags, past and present are invited! You're even welcome to make new tags up with your friends and join. Just make sure that you can field the appropriate amount of people for a tournament match. You will need at least five active members to participate.

All tags must enter by June 20th.

We have servers ready for both North America and Europe. If you don't have your own voice chat server, one will be provided for you to use.

• Team size: 5v5 preferred, but 4v4 is permitted.
• Time limit is 40 minutes.
• Sudden death begins at 25 minutes.
• Maps offered include niveus, nexus, nano, arachnid, orion, gloom2, perseus, eden, and thanatos.
• Points will be given as follows: 3 for each victory, 1 for a draw, 0 for defeat.
• Each game consists of two maps, and each map consists of two rounds. Example, rounds 1 and 2 on nano, rounds 3 and 4 on nexus.
• Every individual player can only compete for one tag.

Who will bring home the gold this year?

The tournament has begun!

I am looking forward to this.

[Lecavalier]

So is there gonna be a round-robin or how will this work?

[Plague Bringer]

Mighty excited. Are non-competitors going to be allowed to spectate, do you think? Muted or spec-only chat, of course.

I'm not sure of this, the others will respond to you shortly.

Yes! Of course! We'd love spectators.

Yes! Of course! We'd love spectators.

Guess who's going to be making a shit-ton of Tremulous GMVs?

[Celestial_Rage]

I believe there will be 2 rounds. One round robin round and of that, the top four teams will advance to the elimination round.

[kharnov]

Does anybody feel like resurrecting Xenocide?

[CreatureofHell]

What kind of gold are we bringing home if we win?

[NotYarou]

We are looking for a web developer who knows PHP as well, in order to customize our site.
If you are interested in volunteering, PM me here or on IRC.

[Pazuzu]

What sort of customizations? I know some PHP and I can probably make a layout, but there are probably people here better at it than me.

[kharnov]

Fakewun, the co-founder of GT, is a freelance web developer. I'll throw the site at him and see if he can help. He knows his PHP.

AoTG and eh and .ddos said they'd join. That brings the total number of entrants up to 8, once they join. That's awesome. Let's try to get 12 groups participating in this. I'm very optimistic.

To clan leaders: you have a couple of weeks. There are some pretty skilled people floating around US Main. Try to make a recruit or two. It'll bolster the clan scene in the long run, even long after the tournament.

[AoTG*Comet]

We are in!

[kharnov]

Waiting for .ddos to register on the site.

Asked FSW to join.

Note: 1.1 clans are fully free to join, as long as they're willing to play on GPP.

[Loki]

gth lol

[KwontumPhyzix]

Sounds like fun! I'll try to get FSW entered, but I don't know if I can find enough active members...

[Ethereal]

Man, can't wait for this to start!

[NotYarou]

We are also looking for someone with enthusiasm (preferably not competing) to do shoutcasting/livestreaming of the matches.
Contact us on ##gpptourney on irc.freenode.net if you are interested.

[kharnov]

Yay! AoTG and .ddos joined.

We're still open to other clans. You have exactly two weeks to register!

[Mirage]

Seeds of Rebellion has been notified and you will know by the 20th if they will be atyending or not. Sorry that I don't have a set answer unfortunately most of the members are inactive...

[ThisIsBS]

I might be able to make this, but I'm not sure. Thanks to the summer, more than 75% of the clan is inactive for personal reasons. Hopefully they'll check the forums time to time..

[CreatureofHell]

How do you go inactive in summer? Isn't summer when you have time to play trem?

[kharnov]

A lot of people come back for summer peak season, but a few of them go off on vacations.

[Celestial_Rage]

Eh joined as well. To all competing teams: Make sure to have your squad finalized by June 20th.

[WiKi]

How do you go inactive in summer? Isn't summer when you have time to play trem?

During the school year you finish all your homework at 7ish annd it may be too late to go out. So what do you do! Play trem. Summer you have the whole day to enjoy the outside world no commitment to the tyranny of the dreaded school system.
