Due to the problems surrounding the current release of CS 1.6, Steam, lack of HLTV and various issues that could arise we have decided to use Counter-Strike 1.5 for UKTerrorist LAN Championships 5.
With Counter-Strike 1.5 teams will not have to learn new layouts of maps (the list of order of which will be released on Sunday) and myself and the staff of the Northampton IT-Centre well practiced in what we are doing with regards to server setup, HLTV and any other problems that could arise. Thus ensuring a smooth tournament for all competitors.
Apologies for any inconvenience this change has caused, but in the long run we hope most players appreciate our decision.

Considering people pay money to enter and to get there, take time off work etc. To have another tournament possibly go ballsup because you're trying to use a buggy bit of software when there's a stable version would just be dumb. Even Myers can see that [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

you really really really don't want to go down that road :)
a lan tournament is all about finding the right balance most of the time, if you give all the teams all the setup time they want, you'll be finished at 3:00am...and you'll be bombarded with complaints, if you give each team 15 mins setup time, you'll be finished by 8:00pm and you'll get complaints cos lots of players didn't get all their hardware working properly. So you gotta find th eright balance and aim to finish by 10:00pm.
But with cs 1.6 everyone knows there are gonna be problems, and i'm not talking about the fps on the computers. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if a 1.5 tournament can't be run with relative ease, then 1.6 will just go completely to pot [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

HLTV will still be a problem though as no one's got 1.5 anymore and it more than likely wont work with WON down [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
