There seems to be some confusion as to the differences between registering your server and enabling quickplay.
- Your server must be registered to enable quickplay. - You don't have to enable quickplay if you register (use tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay 1) So, in order to participate in the event, you must be *registered*, but yo do *not* have to have quickplay enabled.
