ozfortress Sixes Season 28

The ozfortress seasonal league has returned! As per usual, the league will be run using the highly successful Warzone. Whether you're a hardened veteran of the scene or a newcomer to 6v6 TF2 there will be a place for you in ozfortress season 28 and we hope to see you there!

The map pool for OZF 28 will again comprise of nine maps and certain maps will be played once during the regular season with other maps being played twice. This season we're seeing the departure of Bagel and Reckoner. In their place we're seeing the return of longtime North American favourite Metalworks as well as old classic Prolands. Both of these maps are familiar for many ozfortress players both old and new.

There will be four brackets in OZF 28. The brackets we will feature are: Premier, Intermediate, Main and Open! Both Premier and Intermediate will have a round robin group stage while the lower two brackets will consist of a Swiss group stage. All brackets will continue using the Page Playoffs format. Grand Finals for Premier shall be played as a no-advantage best of 5, while Open and Intermediate Grand Finals will be a best of 3. Premier and Intermediate will have 8 teams while Main and Open's bracket size is pending signups.

We are also extremely excited to announce a prize pool for the Premier division of OZF 28! This season will feature a $2000 AUD prize pool to be spilt between the top three placing Premier teams. The distribution will be as follows:

1st: $1200 AUD
2nd: $600 AUD
3rd: $200 AUD

Thanks again to all of our Patrons, past and present, who helped make this possible.

During OZF 28 we plan on conducting random demo checks to ensure players are recording demos. Please ensure that you are recording match demos in order to avoid punishment.

This season we will also be continuing our new transfer window system that we introduced for OZF 27. This systems sees transfers be done every two weeks rather than every week. The system will allow admins more time to review and accept transfers.

We will also be featuring several new plugins on ozfortress servers for OZF 28. The added plugins will fix the notorious sticky-det bug as well as the ramp slide bug, and remove the Rick May memorial statues from maps. These are the only plugins we will be using for OZF 28. No others will be added.

We're also adding a global class restriction document for players to track class restrictions more easily. A link can be found at the bottom of this post.

All server booking will continue to be done through ozfortress discord. Simply join the #bookings channel in the ozfortress Discord and type /book and details of your server booking will be PM'd to you. To view more commands, type /help in the #bookings channel.

In Citadel, Captains can create Teams using the "Start Team" button on the Teams page. Once created, Captains can invite players to the Team. Team invites are shown on a player's profile, which can be accessed by clicking on your name next to the bell on the top right hand corner of your screen. Teams provide a pool of players that can be signed up for a tournament. Players may be in the pool for multiple teams but only one Roster for any given tournament. Captains may sign up a Roster for tournaments under the League page.
