RGL S3 - Newbie Mix Team Drive Sign-ups!
TL;DR

(Oh look, it's at the top).

  • You sign up here if you want to be put on a 6v6 team with similar people by us, along with a mentor to help you make the season productive and make you a solid player in the world of organized competitive TF2
  • Sign-ups will be open until May 11, 2020; season begins May 19th, 2020
  • You will be playing for 9 weeks at least 3 nights a week, 2 hours a night, some time between 8:30 EST to midnight EST. You MUST have open availability on at least 3 nights between those times, Sunday-Thursday.
  • There are no league fees for RGL Newcomer and Amateur divisions
  • If you decide you no longer want to be placed on a team, please edit your post accordingly.
  • Submissions that clearly did not read the requirements risk being ignored. If we do not have time, we will not warn you.

Read the rest of the post if any of this piques your curiosity.

What is this drive?

In the team drive, you and 5 other players will get partnered up with an experienced mentor that will help guide you through the season. The mentor won’t be playing on the team, but will help you with everything from registering your team to RGL, to finding your first scrims, to demo reviews, and everything in between. RGL Traditional 6s league is the best experience you can currently have in TF2, thanks to its commitment to creating both a serious paid league for top-level talent while trying to maintain balance and fairness in their lower divisions. You will have fun, meet new friends, play tons of TF2 and improve as a player and a teammate.

Important Information about RGL and the drive:

  • RGL is a league, with seasons, which means joining is an 8-13 week commitment. Ideally, all signups are already interested in competitive TF2, and are willing to play the 8 week season May-July.

  • RGL is always played at night, with the default match times falling on 9:30 EST (6:30 PST) and teams playing/practicing within the general time window of 8:30 EST to 11:30 EST, sometimes slightly earlier. You must be prepared to be available until at least 11:00 EST in case the match runs late. Occasional absence is normal - life happens; but do not plan on it.

  • While it varies from team to team, most teams play on average 3-4 days a week, Sunday through Thursday. We do our best to match you with people of similar schedules, but overall you should be able to play at least 3 days a week. If you can't, consider listing yourself as a substitute instead of a starter.

  • The drive is catered to people newer to competitive TF2 and 6v6. If you are new to competitive, chances are you will learn a lot by playing in your first season, but the season will be quite hard and you may not get many wins.

  • Toxicity on these drive teams is not tolerated, and will likely result in you being replaced by your team. As toxicity is typically your misplaced frustration with yourself, if you do have a tendency to get emotional, consider your reasons for being unhappy with your own performance and what you could do to improve. You’ll have a much more productive season that will also not result with you being replaced.

Rules about signing up:

  • Do not post anything in this thread other than signup forms. Questions go to the team-drive-questions channel in Discord: https://discord.gg/HEA7Tsu and may also be answered in the Newbie Mix Team Drive FAQ Thread https://steamcommunity.com/groups/na6v6newbiemix/discussions/0/4540134453718519293/.

  • Do not apply to classes you aren’t willing to play for a full 8 week season.

  • Specify time zones (EST to PST) and AM/PM (or 24 hour clock) when describing your availability. “I’m available 12-1” means literally nothing.

  • Do not lie about your experience. If you lie, we will replace you.

  • If you want to play with friends, specify in the comments section of the application. Everyone involved in the group has to do this. Alternatively, if you have half of a team already formed, the team leader may create a single post listing the information for each player individually. We will fill the empty spots with sign-ups.

  • Subscribe to the Announcement thread for updates about the drive. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/na6v6newbiemix/discussions/0/4540134453718530181/ This is how you will learn if you got on a team. We will also be making an announcement through the steam group and discord.

  • Please remember to edit your comment if something changes (availability, classes, no longer able to commit, etc).
