Help Organizing CSGO competition
I'm setting up a CSGO tournament for your school charity event. You have 11 PCs with 11 copies each, including spectators and admin. You need a custom competitive match that fits within a 30-minute window (up to 8 hours total). There are 16 teams participating in single elimination format. Some suggestions mention best of 30 or 15 rounds—could you clarify what you mean by those? Also, since you won’t have internet access, the game must run on local LAN. Let me know if you need help planning the structure or setting up the matches.
I'm setting up a CSGO tournament for the school charity event. We have 11 copies of the game—one for spectators and one for admin—and need to organize a custom competitive match. The goal is to keep the competition under 30 minutes total, with a maximum of 8 hours for the whole event. There will be 16 teams playing in a single-elimination format. Some suggestions mention using a best-of-30 or best-of-15 format, but I'm not sure what that means. Since we're limited by internet and can only play on LAN, we should focus on LAN-only matches. Let me know if you need help planning the schedule or setting up the matches. It's coming up soon!
The available time is limited to about 30 minutes per match. A more suitable game would be something like Overwatch, where competitive CS:GO matches usually follow a best-of-30 format, making them longer than 30 minutes. This means the first 16 rounds are for wins or draws, and you’d need half that number of rounds to keep games within the time limit. You could reduce the total rounds required. This Steam post might clarify the setup details, but it’s better to do a bit more research. If your computers have internet, you can set up a lobby, choose Competitive mode, and ensure everyone selects the right team—11th player should pick 'Spectator'. You won’t get the same low latency as LAN, but it might be acceptable.
Initially, your first computer must start the server as described here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...=230908126. After that, set up the server with your own mod, but keep in mind a 30-minute limit per match is challenging... Unless you limit yourself to 15-20 rounds.

It's a bit unusual to play just 30 minutes in a game, isn't it? You're organizing a CS:GO event but not allowing players to complete a full match? If you're running a CS:GO tournament, make sure participants finish the entire game. If you want alternatives, consider what @Rupe recommended—something else might work better. Regarding the setup, it doesn't seem overly complicated. Just search for instructions on setting up a LAN server, and you'll have plenty of resources to help.
Give them a short while. The issue is the mods will block your thread if you post twice in a row. I mentioned the other person and shared your message without formatting. If it looks different on your screen, it might be due to the dark theme.
I disagree with the original suggestion. A possible solution could be a short match during overtime for qualification, followed by a full match for the semi-finals and final.
