How do I disable map rotation entirely on my TF2 server?

I have a private server. Before use, I just go in, exec a config, and change the level. Annoyingly, the server will sometimes switch to hydro or 2fort if we wait too long before starting a scrim.

I considered removing all maps but one (my desired default) from mapcycle.txt, but it seems like then, it would just switch to that one. I don't want to change mp_timelimit like "24/7 whatever map" servers, because it will get reset whenever I exec a match config anyway.

Can I just remove everything from mapcycle.txt and add something to my server.cfg to load up some particular map, say mge_training_v8_beta2, every time I restart? If so, what would I add? Does mapcycle.txt have to be populated?
