Each teams can have at least two times the classes played at the same time, with the exception of the Sniper due the to game-changing abilities the [[Jarate]] does have.
 
Also, the [[Heavy]] is banned due to his large health pool which gives him an unfair advantage towards other players who are forced to melee against him, the [[Medic]] is banned because of his passive health regeneration, and finally, the [[Engineer]] and the [[Spy]] are banned only because they cannot equip the [[Frying Pan]].
 
  
==Weapons==
+
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.
The '''Ready Steady Pan''' gamemode have a [http://whitelist.tf/rsp_s3 whitelist] which allows players to only use the Frying Pan as a melee weapon, with some secondaries added into the mix. <br/>
