How to Vote

We’ve updated our voting threads this season to make it easier for captains to format and submit their votes correctly. 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 inputed votes may not be counted!

Your team name:
Your team division: Premier

Best Scout: first-place vote, second-place vote, third-place vote
Best Soldier:
Best Pyro:
Best Demoman:
Best Heavy:
Best Engineer:
Best Medic:
Best Sniper:
Best Spy:
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 Soldier: /dev/zero, wiggin, obla
Best Pyro: /dev/zero, wiggin, obla
Best Demoman: /dev/zero, wiggin, obla

2. Submitting your votes

The votes must be sent through to the following administrator via direct message or via pinging them within your team's channel in the ozfortress Captain's Discord;

• Pulse (@bigpulsey)
• Sylvie (@evelynntf)
• indy and her jones (@indyandherjones)
• woozy (@moonkittyx.)

Votes need to be submitted to one of the admins listed above by the 6th of September at 11:59pm AEST. Failing to do this will prevent your votes from being counted and will make your team in-eligible for in-game medals. Votes can be submitted via dm's or via the Captain's Discord.

---

FAQ

How is Voting calculated?

We will use instant runoff voting to calculate the results.

Will we receive in-game medals if we fail to submit our votes?

No, as we believe that every player should have the chance to be voted for.

How long will it take for Awards to be released?

The release of Awards often varies, but you can expect it usually within a week or two of Voting closing.
