Thank you for your feedback on the tournament format. After listening to everyone's thoughts and opinions we've decided to go with the overwhelming majority and make the tournament Capture the Flag (CTF) mode only. There will still be no perks allowed, and the attachments allowed are reflected in the rules page. There's just under two weeks left for signups, so make sure you get your teams signed up with five on the roster ready to play! We're looking forward to a great tournament!
