Quick FAQ / Clarification

We have a few things we want to clarify and answer for Day 3.

• Mercenary rules for Day 3 are exactly the same as Days 1 & 2, you can find this in the FAQ section of the Experimental Cup page, but we'll reiterate it here as well.
  • The mercenary rules are the same as the regular season, you are limited to two mercenaries per match and only able to use mercenaries within four of your matches in this cup. This means you could use eight (8) different players, or the same two mercenaries four times, but you cannot use mercenaries in more than four matches. You must get approval from the captain of the opposing team like in our regular season fixtures.
• An unknown server issue present on the ozfortress servers seems to be affecting whitelists executed by the Experimental Cup configs. We ask that players observe the whitelist, which can be found linked on the Experimental Cup page, for the duration of the cup. We have been unable to solve the issue, but it appears executing the config a few times does seem to work. We'll make sure this issue is not able to affect the regular season configs.

Pick Ban process for Playoffs

• Home team Bans
• Away team Bans
• Home team Picks
• Away team Picks
• Home team Picks (Decider - will only be one map left)

Thank you all for your diligence in sticking to the schedule, the only delays during this cup have been on us, and for that, we'd like to apologize.

We're working on a range of different projects internally within ozfortress, and you may have noticed a bit of a change in the staff roles over the last year. We have been working towards being able to bring larger tournaments on a much more consistent basis, and are working towards bringing you things you haven't seen from ozfortress.

Departing staff

We've been building a team to help us work on these projects, but would like to also thank a few administrators who aren't sticking around with us. Over their time with us fez, LiquidAlchemy and Platinum have been an important part of our team, and we would like to thank them for their dedication and time.

The new kids

With their departure, we sifted through our administrator applications for new candidates, and we believe the resulting new pickups need little introduction. We would like to welcome thelampshade22 (snazzy), who would like to shout out the towns of Warrnambool and Swan Hill, along with long-time community veteran raina. We are excited to have them working with us, and you'll get to see a little from then in the upcoming ozfortress Experimental Cup 1.

The promotion

We've been looking at the staff team structures of other leagues internationally and in an effort to give me
(core) some more time to work on larger projects and oversee progress, looking to delegate and promote people into new roles. It is with this that I would like to both congratulate and thank a team of ants in their prime for stepping up to the new role of Sixes Head Administrator. I have full confidence in ants to bring a fresher perspective to Sixes, and I hope to work more closely with players on exactly what they want from ozfortress as a whole.

Help needed!

We are still looking for staff, so please feel free to reach out or submit a staff application. Additionally, we're looking for anyone with experience in charity work for something in 2023, if you have some experience please DM core#6440 on Discord.

Cheers,
ozfortress Staff Team.
