HAMPSHIRE HEAVIES FIGHT NIGHT
SIGNUP THREAD - 3RD NOVEMBER 8PM-9PM (UK TIME)
HH Fight Night is a fun community match held every Wednesday night from 8pm-9pm (UK time) for two maps. All players may signup to these events, whether you're a newbie reg or an experienced league player, however Fight Night is a step up from the pub servers and you must be willing to coordinate with your team in a more competitive style of play. As such, players with working microphones will be given priority over those without them.
Teams
Players are sorted into teams based on the classes they prefer to play and their skill level, with the aim being to keep both teams balanced for a fair and fun fight. Class limits are 1 with maximum players of 18 (9v9/highlander).
Team leaders are selected for each team and will generally have more competitive experience. Their job is to discuss general tactics with the team and order other players about during the match, as well as getting their players ingame and finding replacements should any not turn up.
*Win Free Items & Hats!*
To enter Fight Night you must offer up one item, which is given to the team leader before the match. After the match, the losing team's items are randomly distributed among members of the winning team. This item need not be anything valuable - we expect most players to throw in something like a duplicate flare gun or a scrap metal.
Voice Chat
Mumble is a much higher quality alternative to the regular in-game voice chat you use on public servers, and is used in all HH events. It can be downloaded here, and takes about 10 minutes to setup.
Once installed you will be guided through a wizard to setup your audio settings. By default Mumble is setup to automatically transmit your voice when you speak, however for gaming it is highly recommended that you switch to Push to Talk mode and set the voice key to a different one than the one you use in TF2. You can configure this setting on the 'Voice Activity Detection' page of the wizard.
Once configured, choose Server -> Connect -> Add New. Enter settings as listed below:
Servername: Hampshire Heavies Mumble Server
Address: mumble.thehh.co.uk
Port: 50114
Username: [your name]
Once connected, you can join different channels to speak to the people within them by double-clicking on the channel name.
Rules
- Be on the server by at least 7.50pm (UK time) so we can make a swift start
- You must stay for the full hour
- If you can't make it, tell your team leader well before the match
- All unlocks allowed
Advice
- Stick together and protect your medic
- Consider your role in the team, your position in the map and the unlocks you will use based on your class
- Use voice comms when needed, but be concise
To Signup
Reply to the thread with the following info:
- Your preferred 3 classes
- Your skill level rated 1 to 5 (this is to help balance the teams, not to exclude less practised players)

- Whether you have a working microphone
- An item you wish to gamble
Once the teams have been organized I will PM all players with the name of their team leader (who they should add to their Steam friends) , the server info and the maps being played.
Not a reg? Make an application and you can signup straight away.
If you have any queries or need help setting up Mumble, feel free to add me to Steam friends.
