What it does

On Arena maps with more players than slots, the queue decides who plays next. Turn it off if you want all players in every round.

The game's own description: Enables the spectator queue system for Arena.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to tf/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a TF2 server first.
