Thread: Round 6 match generation issues for Main
core League Director

Due to match generation issues likely arising from Round 3 being incorrectly generated (closest variation in match generation when compared to other tournament tools, unclear whether or not it was admin error or system error), there will be some duplicate matches and teams who do not play each other as they would normally.

Because of these issues, matches from potentially Round 4 (or Round 5, sadly we're not 100% certain) to Round 7 have deviated from what the Swiss System would normally pair. We are incredibly sorry for these match generation issues and have done our best to remedy the current Round 6 matches, and will be closely monitoring the generated Round 7 matches in a week's time.

We believe at this time that other divisions are unaffected by this, and the keen eyed among you will notice duplicates in Open, but they are a side effect of the two disbanded teams.

We will be instituting further measures to prevent this from reoccurring in the future. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, feel free to send it my way (@core#6440).

Thanks for your understanding,
The ozfortress staff team.

League Ban

fizz / mosy STEAM_0:0:85608869

This player has accrued a total of 60 ozfortress infraction points. As such, the player has been banned from ozfortress.com, the community's competitions, and all other ozfortress properties for a period of 1 year, after which time the persons will be on permanent probation. If they are found aliasing during their competition bans, their ban duration will be extended.


Should ANY clans in ANY ozfortress competitions be found housing the listed players, the team will be permanently removed from our competitions and all members involved will face severe penalties.

Thread: Template for Player Behaviour reports
core League Director

Before making a report, please see our Support & Reporting page! To submit a Player Behaviour report, please make a new thread here and use the template below.

Please Note
  • Your submission can only be seen by the League Director, the Head of Behaviour Panel, the Behaviour Panel members and yourself.
  • Please also be aware that in the process of verifying some evidence or even delivering the infraction, the offender may become aware of who submitted the report/evidence inadvertently through either the timing of the infraction's delivery, through the infraction itself, or by figuring it out themselves. Whilst we endeavour to keep the reporter's anonymity, please understand that it is not always possible. Where possible, we do try to provide reasoning for infractions or bans received, but this is not always possible or safe.
  • We ask that you follow our evidence verification requirements strictly when making your report.

Thread: Qixalite x ozfortress servers, S33 rule changes & resupply bind reminder

A further clarification since the question has been asked; if you are banned off of both Qixalite and ozfortress servers, your team will need to use a substitute player or mercenary.

We know it's been a little bit since we’ve provided any update on what is happening with the ozfortress servers, but we wanted to have something to show for the time spent. So, we worked with Qixalite to get ozfortress branded servers, run by Qixalite on their infrastructure! Currently, there are only six servers, but they can be scaled up and down as needed in the future. We’ll work with Qixalite in the coming weeks/months to provide some features to our existing and future Patrons, and we’re excited to be working with Qixalite going forward!

Our “Book a server” page has been updated to reflect the new booking bot (welcome Reginald), but server aliases, maps, and configs will be the same you are used to with the old ozfortress servers. If you want to know what else you can do or want a more comprehensive guide, take a look at Qixalite's docs website.

It’s taken a little bit to have the competitive ruleset and infractions page updated to reflect these changes, but now that it has been, we fixed it was time to let everyone know:

Competitive Ruleset changes:

  • The server's SourceTV Delay (stv_delay) MUST remain at 90 seconds or above. Dropping this during or prior to your match will incur a penalty. The same can be applied to turning off STV Map Change Protect during a casted official match.
  • The captain of a disbanded or removed team will receive a tier two infraction, and all players on the Active Roster will be excluded from play for the remainder of that season.
  • Class Restrictions in the ruleset have been generalized to Restrictions, with Class Restrictions being used to explain actual 6v6 class restrictions, and a new Player Restrictions section explaining our seasonal Player Restrictions (formerly Class Restrictions).

Infractions changes:

  • Tier 2 added for “Disbanding an in-season active roster” - This was already in the Competitive Ruleset and has been used consistently, this addition is to just make it clearer.
  • Tier 3 added for “Threats of violence/harm” - Self-explanatory, wasn’t something we have had many (if any) cases of in the past and needed a consistent way to punish this behaviour.

Clarifications & Reminders:

  • With the introduction of the new servers, players can book a server in either Sydney or Melbourne, the same options are available for normal Qixalite servers via their discord. Going forward, the default server location will be Sydney for official ozfortress matches.
  • These new ozfortress branded Qixalite servers will not be using the same bans as standard Qixalite servers. In saying that, we will be working closer with Qixalite going forward when it comes to behavioural issues, so do not expect to be immune from the punishments from either service.
  • Bookable server support should be directed to the Qixalite discord, but if you aren't sure about something, feel free to chuck a message in #admin-support and we can let you know!
  • Resupply binds are still permitted, but they cannot be used under the following circumstances:
    • You have stickies anywhere and backspawn.
    • You have a sentry gun or building placed and backspawn.
    • To preserve uber when back-spawning.
    • Essentially back-spawning and preserving the state of something you have placed, an ubercharge, banners, item meters (shields, drinks), etc.
  • Players with round match bans will be denied in transfers until after they have finished serving their match ban.
  • There have been a few questions regarding locking mercenaries to specific classes - this is something that has been in our ruleset for a while and can be found here.

Thanks,
The ozfortress administration team.


Thread: ozfortress x Qixalite - OZF 33 Prize Pool update
core League Director

enter image description here

Our friends at Qixalite are graciously providing the winning team of each division with their Tier 2 Premium package for 3 months, which will be activated at the beginning of the next season. At the conclusion of OZF 33, league administrators will speak with each team and have them nominate a captain to receive Tier 2 Premium access, and we’ll pass that info onto Qixalite on your behalf.

We at ozfortress and the community as a whole cannot thank Qixalite enough for the countless hours of dedication spent building services for the Oceanic TF2 community.
