FINAL PLACEMENTS
You can see the Player Restrictions here. Seedings are listed in order, with all divisions making use of our standard Round Robin.
Please note: initial seedings on the League Table will be inaccurate for Upper Divisions to better distribute “important” matches as discussed here. Expect matches to be generated very soon.
If you have any issues, questions or concerns, please visit our Discord's support category.

Autumn '24 Ruleset Update
The Global, Highlander, and Sixes ruleset have all been rewritten to improve general clarity and relevance to modern ozfortress competitions. The vast majority of rules have been consolidated within the Global ruleset with format-specific rulesets only containing, you guessed it, format-related rules.
If any errors or issues are found in the new rulesets, please reach out to me (multi) on Discord (@canyouprovethatimdriving
).
A brief summary of notable rule additions and changes are listed below, however, given the scope of the changes, we encourage all players explore the new rulesets in their entirety.

Sixes League Staff Changes
In case you missed it, late last year we welcomed Celph and Hawk to the Sixes team. We now have two new additions to the team, emgee and HUNGRY.4.EGGS. Both players bring with them a wealth of experience, and their inclusions reflects our continued commitment to bolstering the Sixes Admin team in preparation for a big 2024. We do, however, say goodbye to a team of ants in his prime who is stepping down. ants has contributed tremendously to the league, including his stint as the Head Sixes Admin, and we thank him for all his hard work.
The Sixes Autumn ‘24 Admin Team is:
Head Sixes Admin: multi
Upper Division (Premier/High) Admins:
- emgee
- Hawk
- wils
Lower Division (Intermediate/Main/Open) Admins:
- Celph
- down
- HUNGRY.4.EGGS
- Raina
Art Team Changes
We would also like to welcome dezi to the Art Team! He has been hard at work on our Spring ‘23 Awards, and we’re excited to show off his hard work soon.
With bigger events planned this year and beyond, expanding our Art Team with talented artists and designers will be crucial. We are blessed to have so many artistic individuals in our community, so if that’s you apply for the Art Team here.
Upper Division Format Changes
Sixes Autumn ‘24 will see significant changes to how our Upper Divisions are run. This includes a shift to regular season pick/ban as well as a complete overhaul of the playoffs system. You can read about these changes in detail here, and provide any feedback through the poll as discussed below.
Sixes Post-Season Poll
This post-season poll is shorter than most, making it easier than ever for you to provide feedback. The poll includes an opportunity for feedback regarding the Upper division format changes, as well as proposed changes for the Lower divisions surrounding the map pool and progressive timer.
Complete the Sixes Spring ‘23 Post-Season Poll here.
Speaking of the map pool, have you done your map vote as described here? Every vote counts, so make sure you get yours in before voting closes on Sunday the 21st of January 2024.
Still to Come
There are several things still to come, including the Highlander Staff Changes and the major ruleset refactor, so keep your eyes peeled!
