Any suggestions for Events?

[Perfect Villain]

Me and some friends have a group and are planning to run a TF2 event.... Could really use some advice getting people interested , as we are somewhat new to this... Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated... Just find it hard to get people interested in participating but they seem to play the game alot so just trying to see ways to spark more interest in joining in...

maybe part of it could be a raffle for the winning team, with a couple of hats or cool items as the prize

we already mentioned some prizes we are considering for the top scores at the moment though winning team is also a good idea

You could try out a wacky sever mod. I don't know if you wanna keep this event vanilla or not.

Some really popular ones are:

VS. Saxton Hale
Prop Hunt (We just recently played this on TheVille)
The Hidden
Super Smash Bros Mod
Randomizer Mod
x10 Mod

Or you could try some weird maps like:
Balloon Race
koth_lolcano
cp_saw

Karaoke is the only answer.

I remember last year, we played a series of Highlander matches. Maybe we could do something like that again, but in a more standard competitive format, e.g., stopwatch, fixed weapon spreads (tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads 1), fixed damage (tf_damage_disablespread 1), no random crits (tf_weapon_criticals 0), etc. Basically, what you see in ESEA or UGC, but hosted by The Ville. 6v6 or Highlander—either one can work.

As for item restrictions, I'm still not too sure about that, but here's a table of current item restrictions by the different TF2 leagues out there.

However, if that would take too long to set up, we could always do x10.
