TPG is eager to announce its fifth cup, hosted by yours truly! It will be held on SUNDAY, June 26th, at 1pm EST. All participants must meet in the Hawken Teamspeak at this date and time.
TPG’s cups, unlike the regular season, take place over the course of a day. Anybody can join or create a team, and teams do not necessarily have to match up with teams from the regular season. We’re also aiming to have some Twitch streams running during the cup, so that even those who aren’t participating can watch.
While the cup is all-inclusive, you must make an account on the TPG website in order to participate. CraftyDus was kind enough to provide instructions here.

RULES
If you have questions about the rules, you may send me a message at any time. Not knowing the rules will not gain you any leniency if you break them. Breaking them results in your team's possible disqualification.
CLASS/ITEM RESTRICTIONS: This cup’s game mode will be Team Deathmatch, with teams of three people each. Standard TPG restrictions apply for internals and items (that is, no repair kits, extractors, composite armor, or scanners), but class restrictions will be set at no more than two of any class (CBA, CCB is okay, CCC is not). You cannot have more than one unique mech (No double brawler, for example). Radar will be enabled for this cup (if only to compare to previous no-radar competitions - this rule may change in the future).
Self-destructing, without granting the other team a point, is not allowed. If you self-destruct (even on accident), the other team has the right to ask for an additional point to be counted towards their score at the end of the round. Final decisions will be made by TPG Admins only.
LEAGUE FORMAT: This cup will follow the Swiss-system format. This is a no-elimination system that will shorten the cup's total length considerably, while allowing for every team to play the same amount of matches (or nearly so). Additionally, teams will find themselves matched against similarly-skilled teams as the tournament progresses. Each match is still best two out of three.
SUBSTITUTES: There are no "rostered" player substitutes. If a substitute is needed, the sub must be accepted by the opposing team. There will be less leniency towards substitutes the further the cup has progressed. I must also be notified of all substitutions before the match begins.
REQUIRED RECORDING: All matches are required to be recorded by every participant. In addition, every game played requires two screenshots:
1. At the beginning of the game, take a screenshot of the scoreboard when all participants have entered the game, with at least one mech model within view.
2. At the end of the game, take a screenshot of the final scoreboard with all player names listed.
If you are asked to provide a recording/screenshot and cannot, your team can be disqualified.
PARTICIPATION: Players cannot join more than one team, and players from teams that have been eliminated are not allowed to substitute in for non-eliminated teams.
TPG Admins will deal with infractions on a case by case basis.
