ok I’m not even going to vote just b/c i see no point. Here is how it has gone before:
freeplay maps (maybe ctf_steamroll, gravelpit, etc; whatever just messing around before the teams are set)
split into typically 4 teams of 5
warmup round (i suggest 2fort for this because it will appease the 2fort lovers and we dont have to play it for when it counts.)
first round (team 1 vs. team 4, team 2 vs team 3; either turbine or mach 4)
second round (winners vs losers (fighting for 1st and 3rd place); map not used in round 1)
As for other settings; Idk what the respawn timer is set at (and I’m too lazy to check) but 7-10 seconds has worked great in the past. The default setting is way too long and really slows down the lan play.
