Ok, I'm planning to report progress on the mod, additions, subtractions and the link to this one thread. If I can't figure out how to do it then Zed will make it a sitcky so you guys can know what the latest thing is in regards to the mod. Anyhow, as for today's update, it is in relation to the Leauge/Ladders and the use of the mod(cut + paste from the news section):

ET Ladder/Leagues: Mod News Written by Warpath)x(
17:04
Although Tourneymod was released, and, for the most part, completed and put on our website, a few problems have, predictably enough, arisen. Unfortunately, that was necessary in order to iron everything out in order for it to be smooth and running flawlessly for the regular season. A small testing team can't compare to the rigors of 360 or so people scrimming and having matches with it.
A few bugs have been found which are being worked on but we want to make sure don't create other bugs prior to releasing the updated version which will be mandatory for match servers to use. These bugs which, again I stress, are being worked on are as following:
a) Soldier w/ SMG bug: Some people were randomly being kicked to being a soldier w/ SMG. It appears that this is a result of hitting Light Weapons 4(tentative assesment based on someone's observation but does seem accurate). Not so much of an issue in SW mode for that ladder or League but definatley for Campaign.
b) Spawns: You get to now choose your initial spawn point due to the mod, but a bug was accidently introduced that makes you spawn at the furthese point back(instead of the FDA) if you don't pick the spawn where you want to spawn at at the start.
c) Linux Clients(*not* servers, repeat, not servers): They have had compatibility problems with the mod, most likely due to the HUD. Although its rare, if either team in a scrim or match is running a Linux Client then do not play using Tourneymod until the fix is released.
That said, being aware of these bugs, the game is definatley playable with it and I have gotten lots of positive feedback about it. Consequently, however, due to above:
For the next week(8/10-8/17) of matches both on the Ladders and in the Leagues, running ET_Tourneymod will be OPTIONAL.
We do encourage people in the League, since it is preseason, however, to be open to playing with it for this week of matches. As long as you're aware of the aforementioned bugs. Remember, preseason is just warmup and doesn't count towards the playoffs and your regular-season record. Think of it as an opprtunity to test it and to give me, Shatter or Blue feedback so that we can guage what you guys are happy with in the mod.
