HAMPSHIRE HEAVIES FIGHT NIGHT
SIGNUP THREAD - 14th MAY 7PM-8PM (GMT+1, BST)

HH Fight Night is a fun community match held every Saturday night from 7pm - 8pm (GMT +1 BST) 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. The format of the game depend on the player count - see the rules below.

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 distributed among the winners. The better the item you gamble, the better the item you'll get if your team wins.

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.

It's always a good idea to read OP, just in case something has changed. And, yes, items will be gambled this time around.

Unfortunately I won't be able to take part.

Basically, because Brink just comes out the day before. That aside I've also got the CommFT Highlander tournament.

(Random side note: Deepblue you want to play Medic with no mic?! Dangerous.)

I would like to join in as a pyro or medic, but my internet connection has been horrible lately...



Been like that for three days so far, tried everything with no luck. I wont be able to come if my isp doesn't fix this.

Classes
1. Demoman
2. Heavy
3. Medic

Can lead a team.

It's safe to say that Fight Night will be cancelled. Next week, perhaps?

Seems most who are playing TF2 are too busy with the update making videos.
