It is November guys and girls and that means the 31st of October has passed and the sign-ups for the RtCW Anniversary Cup 2012 are closed!
With a staggering 24 teams signing up we see some RtCW activity we haven’t seen in years!
Just to see blasts from the past like
Kreaturen and 
Amnesia to compete alongside some heroes of the future coming down from the ET scene, it tells us we are in for one hell of a ride people!
When we coined the idea to organize another RtCW cup our hopes were to get 12 active teams to play. Now doubling that amount it has exceeded all of our expectations. When facing such unexpected success and attention it is important to guarantee the validity of the teams. Various people with experience in hosting cups suggested we’d get all signed teams to play at least one game before the start of the cup.
So that is exactly what we’re going to do in the upcoming week pushing back the starting date of the cup to the 11th of November.
Line-ups
Over the course of the past couple of weeks it has proven difficult for teams to fill in their entire line-up on ClanBase. Whether this had to do with teams not being able to retrieve their old account or players not being able to sign up, it was just a hassle.
Because we’re playing an 11 year old game which offers nothing more than shits and giggles, we don’t want to force problems or unnecessary stress on people trying to fix their line-ups on ClanBase.
It is therefore we decided to settle the line-ups on Crossfire. Every team has to send a PM to
ZeD with the full line-up for this cup before Sunday the 11th of November.
Showmatch
Not only will this extra week prove the teams are ready,
WarWitch and his amazing team of shoutcasters (
Boomerman, DeeAy, Justice, Vradi and 
Caemare) do not mind a few practice runs their selves. Starting off this Sunday with the first validation match being covered by WarWitch and Boomerman , we’ll see one of the favorites to make it to the finals 
overPowered face darkhorse and oldschoolers 
HighBot. With the broadcast starting at 21.00 CET and the match at 22.00, you’ll be able to tune in to WarWitch’ channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/warwitchtv/b/336477806
Validation Matches
Having teams play a validation match will not only give us an idea about their intent on playing this cup, it will also give us on some insight on their current state of play.
Based on the line-ups, recent activity and previous experiences we’ve matched all teams vs an opponent which we think will give us an idea of what to expect from them this cup and how to seed them into the groups.
We ask every team to play their game before Sunday the 11th and inform one of the admins about your match. For the European teams this will beZeD and voice, the NA and AUS teams can turn to parcher. On that note, we’re still looking for 2-3 admins who’re willing to assist us with this cup.
The Matches:
BooZZe vs. SDI
a.ToOn.eu vs. CWG
xeimos vs. one.soldier
KiH vs. 
cave
Kreaturen vs. Amnesia
tehbirds vs.

Rules
For this cup we'll make use of the standard rules used in the 6 vs 6 format over the past years.
Later this week we'll make another announcement regarding the rules to refresh some peoples memories ;)!

or are they the same :P?
just go onto a match server and do pb_cvarlist and max out the r_ commands (brightness etc) and then /writeconfig x
movement binds work exactly the same.
WTV chat and comments were half the fun during tournaments...
xeimos vs one soldier
cave vs kih
(based on old lineups & around the same skill level)
cause hb are gonna get raped hard tbh :p and these 2 matches are gonna be way more interesting to watch & cast
As for the games you mentioned homiee, if you can give us a time and date we'll try and get shoutcast :)!
edit: im up for doing that frags of the week video shit!
Let's be fair, given how long it's been there might just be a few of these - and they would be good entertainment!
Warwitch cast = sexual, Warwitch cast + WTV = EPIC.
-edit- The maps for this week are free to choose for obvious reasons :)!
