This global whitelist is part of an initiative to unify the international leagues. No changes have been made since the end of OZF 23.

New items added to the game during the cup will be banned until the next season. Modification of weapons will be evaluated by the administrative team. Taunts which are silent and/or toggle-able have been banned.

It is the responsibility of the player to not use these weapons in matches. The whitelist not loading or loading incorrectly is not an excuse for using banned items.

PREMIER AND INTERMEDIATE SCHEDULE

The Premier and Intermediate Brackets will be played as a single elimination tournament on one night. The schedule is as follows.

Sunday 20th January
7pm - Round 1 (cp_prolands_rc2p)
7:45pm - Semi-Finals (cp_logjam_rc8)
8:30pm - Grand Finals - BO3 (cp_snakewater_final1, cp_gullywash_final1, cp_process_final) and Bronze Match (cp_snakewater_final1)

Grand Finals of Premier and Intermediate will be played as a best of three. The map picks only decide what order the maps are played in, the three maps listed about for the grand final are the three maps that will be in the best of three. The pick system (higher seeded team picks the first map) is conducted on the match page by the team captains, or in-game before the match start.

See the brackets here on Warzone.

Please note: cp_prolands_rc2p and cp_logjam_rc8 are custom maps. If you don't already have these maps installed, please click the links above to download them, and then move them to your ..\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps directory.

ADDITIONAL RULES

As the schedule for this tournament is tight, teams must be ready with at least 5 rostered players in the server by the round start time. If a team is more than FIVE minutes late, your bracket's league administrator MUST be contacted and a forfeit win will be recorded. DO NOT DELAY YOUR MATCH AS A COURTESY TO A LATE TEAM. ONE DELAYED MATCH DELAYS THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. Note that 5CP matches can go for 40 minutes with a Golden Cap, so this must be followed closely.

Pauses are allowed for player issues but must be short. Pauses lasting for more than 3 minutes are not allowed under any circumstances, and any team may not pause more than twice. If a sub is not able to be found, you must continue playing with 5 players. If you drop below 5 players for more than three minutes, the match will be recorded as a forfeit loss. If everyone on the team is dead, only then can Steam messages be used. Breaking pause rules will result in disqualification.
