Ready Steady Pan Logo.png

RSP (Acronym for Ready Steady Pan) is a variation of the 6v6 competitive format, revolving around the use of the Frying Pan. The tournament's simplified setup is intended to be a low-pressure way of introducing players to the 6v6 format and mindset.

The tournament has several in-game medals, distributed to players based on their positions.

Class Limits

Classes are limited as such:

Engineers and Spies are excluded from the tournament, as they cannot equip the Frying Pan. Medic and Heavy are excluded for their passive health regeneration and large health pool, respectively. Snipers have been limited to one per team, due to the effect Jarate had in matches during previous seasons.

Weapons

The Ready Steady Pan tournament uses its own whitelist, which only allows players to equip the Frying Pan as their main damaging weapon, alongside select other non-direct-damage weapons. The Machina and Shooting Star are also allowed, in order to prevent accidental misfire. The currently allowed weapons are:
