All details are below. Sorry for the wall of text, I tried to bold the important things for people who are lazy.

Again, sorry for the wall of text, but hopefully you guys at least read the bold stuff. Good luck and have fun!!!

The speedrunning competition will be very different this year. There will be. There will only be. You can choose to run only one or two maps, or all three. Players can participate in both the demo and soldier competitions.. Thefor speedruns.Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!T50W1JJZ!hj-76YAUwyE1m1bK3b-hfNkPiojYP112ZrJqqKEHwPo Easy soldier - jump_elephant by OatmealMedium soldier - jump_above by sitood and Splash4DamageHard soldier - jump_apex by obsidiianEasy demo - jump_crypt by Sere and ElectroMedium demo - jump_internal by sitoodHard demo - jump_isak by BrockName your demo in this format:Example: apex_6_25_3_gebobus_15600_povThis would be a 6:25.3 run on jump_apex by gebobus that starts at tick 15600. Naming your demo correctly makes it much easier to find and watch demos. This took a lot of time last year so hopefully with this system it will be a lot faster.It's really difficult to edit a video well with no stv demo.Email your submissions to tf2rjdropbox@gmail.com in theDemos uploaded to sites other than the ones listed will not be reviewed.Last year, points were awarded to the top 100 times. Unfortunately, this took a ton of time, and there were often far less than 100 entries. Because of this,. If everything is going quickly enough, we may create a chart with more than 5 times so everyone can see how they compare to other people, but this is not currently a top priority.While this may seem like a somewhat harsh point dropoff past 2nd place, the goal is to prevent people from being forced to place in the top 1 or 2 spots against someone who simply gets a top 5 or 3 time on all 3 maps. First place is significantly awarded in order to discourage a winner who simply places 2nd or 3rd on all 3 maps. We are open to suggestions for changes to the point system, but we probably won't be making any huge changes to it.The prize pool will be. Prizes for high placing map times will be a little more significant this year than last year.This system is set up so that. While 25% of a class prize pool may not seem like a lot, anyone who wins first overall will have probably won at least one map, so they should get a pretty good amount of prizes.The second big change to Beginnings 2 this year is that there will be a trickjump competition! There will betrickjump categories. Anybody can submit as many jumps as they want to each category. However, you can only win once per category.Everything is pretty similar to submitting runs, but there are some important differences.Name your demo in this format:Example (solo jump): jump_soldier_brock_38200_povExample (co-op jump): jump_coop_brock_obsidiian_27900_stvIt's really difficult to edit a video well with no stv demo.Email your submissions to tf2rjdropbox@gmail.com in theAgain, this may seem like a pain, but it's really helpful to us and it speeds up the demo-watching process by a lot.Anything else is allowed unless it's something I forgot that obviously shouldn't be allowed.Obviously, trickjump competitions are a matter of opinion. If your jump doesn't get picked, that doesn't mean it sucked. It just means that we thought it wasn't the best jump. There will be. Trickjumps will be judged on. Jumps that have been done before will obviously be a lot less impressive than new jumps. Similarly, an original but super easy jump isn't as likely to win the competition as a hard one. Visual appeal concerns how fun the jump is to watch. Slow and boring jumps like wallpogo are unlikely to win a competition against faster and more interesting ones, even if the wallpogo is difficult and original.The top 3 trickjumps from each class will be combined into a sort of mini jump movie if time permits.
