I don't know if it's just the Summer or what, but besides some weekend nights and customs the place just won't fill up.
I think the way we have the server configured is a big reason for that, any chance we would consider changing it up?
I say we change it up so we follow Competitive rules with the following modifications...
First to 11 wins, switch teams after 10 rounds. Play a 21st round with teams as they are in the situation of a 10-10 tie.
No team damage except for grenades (if that is possible.)
Start with $1000 dollars.
I know the server has followed the same rules for a very long time, but seeing it compared to other servers I think this would be good. I don't expect this to happen, but I think it would be healthy for the server.
There can still be a vote for maps after the 9th round, but perhaps change the maps to a more standard defuse rotation?
Just a thought, thanks!
