How to Vote

We've reformatted our voting threads to better enable captains to correctly format and submit their final votes to us. Take a look, and let us know if you run into any issues.

1. Putting your votes together

Captains shall select three options from the Nominated Players heading and put them in order of highest vote to lowest vote using the following template. The first name will receive three votes, the second will receive two votes and the third will receive one vote. Voting for your own teammates is not allowed, regardless of the award (this includes Best Caster).

Important formatting - you must copy-paste your vote EXACTLY, and separate votes using commas. Again we are using an automated script to process these votes, and incorrectly imputed votes may not be counted!

Your team name:
Your team division: Premier

Best Combo Scout: first-place vote, second-place vote, third-place vote
Best Flank Scout:
Best Pocket:
Best Roamer:
Best Demoman:
Best Medic:
Best Utility:
Friendliest Team:
Most Improved Player:
Most Improved Team:
Most Valuable Player:
Best Dressed Team:
Best Caster:

Your completed template should look like this (with the correct players on their classes, the same players have been used for each award in this example for simplicity) without the point allocations after each player name:

Your team name: Your Team Here
Your team division: Your Division Here

Best Scout: /dev/zero (3 points), wiggin (2 points), obla (1 point)
Best Scout: /dev/zero, wiggin, obla

Congratulations to #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM on winning the OZF 30 Main Grand Final against misfits.

The game started slow with misfits having a strong defensive last hold on their map pick, Process. #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM was able to get some great picks from their resident sniper, Brady but it was not enough to break the hold. misfits were able to hold out and push back out to take mid off of the back of a fantastic bomb from caspian to force the Uber of #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM. misfits tried to keep the the momentum going by pushing into #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM last with an Uber advantage but were not able to capitalize on the 20% advantage. #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM were very happy with this reversal and pushed misifts back to their last. Once again, a hard fought battle was had but misfits had the positioning and determination to hold off the attack and took back their second point. It was short lived as #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM created an opportunity to take it back with strong force. The famous last hold was on show once again as misfits was determined not to give up without a fight. A battle of Spies ensued but jolson came out on top by getting the important Medic drop. misfits took back their second without have to use their own Uber and continued the momentum by successfully using the underutilized "horn push" with even Ubers - taking the middle and second point. Although, misfits got greedy and tried to complete a home run but the amazing efforts of Demoman poisy stopped them in their tracks with eight minutes remaining. This happened to be the start of their ultimate down fall as #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM pushed out with Uber advantage straight through to the middle point. A perfect bomb from Moe, took out the misifts Medic and meant they did not need to use their own Uber to take the middle and second point. misfits attempted the Spy play once again after the back and forth on last but jolson just missed the stab. #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM pushed straight into last but failed the push. misfits attempted to push out as their were forced on the tail end of the failed push but were not able to pull it off. Once again, the famous "horn push" from #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM was the final ingredient to make a successful push to take last with 1:20 left on the clock. misfits tried their hardest to take the point back with a roll on the following mid. Doug hitting a medic-saving middy, to take the second point swiftly with 22 seconds remaining. The final push did fail in the favour of #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM but misfits made a statement that they weren't giving up.

It was now time for #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM's pick of Snakewater. The first mid started off with a great double bomb from the soldier combo of #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM to take the Medic out instantly but the Soldier combo from misfits had done their research and knew it was coming to take them out shortly after. jolson also forwarding and taking down the Medic of #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM ensured a quick mid-fight victory to misfits - continuing their momentum from the last game. A stalemate ensued but the failed double sack from misfits meant #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM were able to push out into second. A extended fight continued but off the back of Doug and jamal's DM ability, #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM were wiped and misfits tried to push into last. Somehow, the spawners made it back one at a time and held off the push. #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM steam rolled all the way to misfits last. Once again, the defensive positioning and ability of misfits kept them out and were able to take the middle point back again with 21 minutes on the clock. A few back an forth pushes and poisy put the team on his back and got a 3 kill-streak - including dropping the Medic with for misfits in their lobby and meant they were able to take the first round with 15 minutes left. misfits once again showing their determination by destroying the #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM team on the next midfight and pushing into their last. The Brass Beast Heavy from sentar) was too much and they were able to push misfits back to their last after a small fight on mid. Another perfect hold from misfits meant they were able to chase the Medic out and wipe #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM. A double middy from caspian was not enough to save his Medic from a hiding Moe. Some hard fought point-for-point action ensued but #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM took another point making it 2 - 0 with just seven minutes remaining. They had learnt their lesson on mids and #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM played a much slower mid - baiting in caspian to jump and get cleaned up. This resulted in #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM to roll onto second and stalemate on second. A backstab attempt from jolson was successful and #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM dropped their Uber! misfits were not able to hold onto their offensive efforts as Brady body shot the misfits Medic! #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM took the round back in their hands to make it 3 - 0 with 2:45 minutes remaining. #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM had a strong mid and pushed swiftly through. bappo was able to pull off the Roamer special with the point blank rocket and skill stick to take out an enemy soldier in the dying minute of the game. The final results of the map does not show the hard fought game from misfits but #JUSTICEFORLOGJAM were too strong on the night and had the final score of 4 - 0, crowning them your ozfortress season 30 Main champions!

Thank you to all the players, support staff and patrons that helped make this season possible. We'll see you all again very soon!

Congratulations to whats our name on winning the OZF 28 Intermediate Grand Final against superheroes.

Snakewater was decided to be the first map of the night by superheroes. The first 15 minutes was a hard fought constant back and forth but whats our name took the first round off the back off a drawn-out sniper fight. superheroes. quickly followed with a return round. The next round started and kcaj decided he needed to be a real superhero and melee his way into winning the 2nd round for his team. The fourth round continued with another battle of snipers but ended with 3:40 remaining to superheroes. capping it out with a Heavy to make it 3 - 1! Susu was able to backstab the Medic of superheroes. to be able to take the last round with 8 seconds remaining to finish the map 3 - 2 to superheroes.

The next map of the night would be Logjam! Another lengthy 10-minute starter round with strong defensive last holds by both teams but was eventually broken by a smart backcap by DeDstar. Some smart rockets by A5ton denied the Spy from whats our name when holding last but, unfortunately for him, it was not enough as whats our name was able to push into last and cap it out to even up the scores 1 - 1! After superheroes. lost the next midfight - and their Medic in the process - whats our name capped it out and was looking at pushing into last with full Uber ad. DeDstar was not having it and was able to backcap mid and almost back capped the second point as well! His sneaky run was eventually brought to an end but it forced whats our name to delay long enough for superheroes. to get their Uber up to hold second. This seemed to be a game-winning decision as they held second and pushed into the enemy's second point with Skyy pistoling the whats our name Medic down with three minutes left to gain a full Uber advantage! A very strong defensive fight ensued with bill going Heavy and forcing the game to go to a golden cap byt not letting superheroes to cap! The golden cap round started and quickly had whats our name on the ropes. Susu had to hold last alone fighting three of the superheroes players. Susu was able to take one down and survive long enough for teammate bill to respawn and help fight the others and cling to life in the golden cap. whats our name continued this momentum to push superheroes. all the way back to their last! superheroes. thought they had it after whats our name had a failed last push but scandalous and bill were able to sneak behind and give superheroes. a taste of their own medicine and backcap! whats our name take out the golden cap to make it 2 - 1, sending us into a third map!

Process would be the decider for the night. Once again it was a slow start with a nine minute first round but whats our name was able to take the first mid and eventually cap up the first round. There was a déjà vu moment as superheroes. once again quickly responded with a return round to even the scores at 1 - 1. whats our name was able to respond with a second round to give them the advantage of 2 - 1 with 25 minutes remaining. The next midfight was played slow with both teams not wanting to commit very hard and that would be the tune of the next 17 minutes. An unfortunate server ping issue forced a pause with 8 minutes on the clock. During this pause, tal accidentally hit his kill bind command! Disaster had struck his team but the amazing sportsmanship from superheroes allowed whats our name to get Uber on the condition they gave up their hold on second and retreated to last to continue play. The last remaining minutes had whats our name continue to have strong defensive holds despite the constant onslaught of attack from the superheroes. squad. The final siren went off with whats our name standing on their second point and very happy to have the game end with them on top 2 - 1 as the final score, making them you OZF 28 Intermediate champions!

Congratulations to both teams to a very entertaining and well-fought Grand Final!

Thank you to all the players, support staff, and patrons that helped make this season possible. We'll see you all again soon!
