European Championship Of Team Fortress Classic

Welcome to the home of the European Championship Of Team Fortress Classic or the ECTFC as we call it for short!

This page is intended to serve as a very short introduction to this particular portal, its not meant to go into any great amount of depth - its merely to serve as a basic outline of what this site is about, who its run for (and by) and where to go next if you wish to participate either as a player or one of our League Admins.

At its very basic level this site is the hub of all activity for Online Gamers who participate in large teams playing against other teams in an organised fashion to get points via winning their matches. Basically its like your everyday football league - except here all players are cyber athletes!

What Is Team Fortress Classic?

Team Fortress Classic (or TFC for short) is a free add-on game to the immensely popular game; Half-Life which was released in late 1998, TFC itself was released in the Spring of 1999. A normal TFC game consists of two opposing teams of between 6 and 8 players, although some matches can have up-to 16 players per team!

Each player on the team can assume the guise and the skills of a particular character class each with their own strengths and weaknesses who then with the use of real-time voice-communications and lots of teamwork will then vi with the opposing team to capture either a sole 'flag' or to capture and defend certain areas of each game map. These two variations of the game are called Capture The Flag (CTF) and Domination/Control Point.

League Operation

The ECTFC runs twice (2x) a year. Each 'season' lasts only one week. During this week the players dedicate themselves to playing for one thing only, national pride. It is run in the same style format as you may experience in a soccer world cup. 3 or 4 groups/pools (dependant on the number of countries participating) where 8 countries go though to the playoffs. The event starts on a Sunday and ends the next Sunday with a 'Super-Sunday' where the semi-finals and the final is played.

Each event have approximately 16 countries participating and shows the finest play TFC has to offer. We pride ourselves in having the best players in Europe (possibly in the world) playing at the ECTFC.
