I'm going to host a Hosted Cup on CB, to make something like a small opencup: "ET SW Winter 2009"
It will obviously be 5on5, the difference in this cup is that it is not an official ClanBase Cup (it has nothing to do with OpenCup) so i came up with the idea of hosting it.
The advantage is we can also test and use new rules in it, example no punkbuster when both teams agree, no gv, wildcard rule fixed, guid system, anything, any rule you ever dreamed of can become true in this cup!
So apart from your rules i also want a maplist of six, and most of these six maps must contain a new or old map, so don't give me gold,radar,delivery,bremen all together. Remember in this cup we want to try new stuff, so don't be afraid to try new/old maps, we need to find the best maps for 5on5!
maplist example would be: et_ice,haemar,delivery,bremen,<eiM's top secret map>

we all know supply & goldrush will work in 5on5, so keep them out
maplist example would be: et_ice,haemar,delivery,bremen,<eiM's top secret map>
and i'm thinking of making playoffs only with double elimination (just like summer 09 system) less noshows & dropouts
doesnt mean they will
siwa oasis, fueldump, radar...
also, punkbuster must be on, it dont warp ffs.
antipro, we will see if antipro is stable.
maybe we can try a new anti-cheat like UAC2
Mappool

it's the first map in lio + mesq frag movie.
Mappool:
- sw_goldrush_te
- Falkenstein_sw
- radar
- haemar (NEW)
- oasis
- bremen_b2
6 old/different maps.
Railgun is good suited for 5on5.
without fog and snow + make forward spawn for axis near the trainyeard, also make the train unable to move back = fast map with fights for depot yard mostly. But if thats not possible than just play oldschool railgun.
Also i remember summercups in 2005 or 2006 dont remember that allmost had 4 new maps in it. And thats the cup i mostly enjoyed. I think even there should be 3 other maps each season than previous one to keep the game refreshing and enjoyable.
- crevasse
- eim's map
- tc_base/frostbite
- bremen
- radar
- et_ice
- haemar
- eim's map
- delivery
- crevasse (let's try the map again, liked it back in the days)
let's create some new poll (doesn't have to be on cf) where you set up like 15 maps or so you consider for "okay" for your cup and after some time you pick the ones with the most overall percent (votings).
venice is actually a pretty decent map, always loved playing it on 2.55, not sure if its good for competition but i got a good feeling :P
dont really think we should try out too many new things mapwise, a good mappool of known + maybe 1 'newer' map is prolly better than like 3 maps that are just created and anyone barely has played in the past since teams can pracc better for those known maps in 5o5 which might be new to many aswell..
also, i dont think tosspot is gonna put some ultranew map into his pool, more like the old and known ones, and i guess those following cups are also in preparation to cic7? :p
And no @ gaymar and eim's new map. We don't need no fuckin new maps, we need stable and active teams!
afaik frost_comp_b4 was tested for some cdc and it seemed fine
other maps worth mentioning:
- raw_te
- haemar
- village
take your pick
e: make it playoff double elim, similar to sc!
