ozfortress Sixes Season 17

Another season?! We are happy to announce that ozfortress season 17, the flagship competitive TF2 event for the Oceanic region, is right around the corner! Once again using the highly successful league system: Citadel. Teams of all skill levels are encouraged to signup and play.

Just like last season, OZF 17 will feature 3 divisions: Premier, Intermediate and Open. Premier will have a round robin group stage into page playoffs. The lower two divisions will consist of a Swiss group stage leading into a single elimination finals bracket. Bronze matches will be for Intermediate and Open only. For those wanting to know more about Swiss, check this out.

This season, we also welcome two new members to the ozfortress staff - Fozzlm and wiggin. Fozzlm will be managing Intermediate with the help of shrak, as well as upholding the Media Coordinator role. wiggin will be administering Open along with Hawk.

In Citadel, Captains can create Teams using the "Start Team" button on the Teams page. Once created, Captains can invite a user to the Team. Team invites are shown on a user's profile, which can be accessed by clicking on your name next to the bell on the top right hand corner of your screen. Teams provide a bucket of players that can be signed up for a tournament. Players may be on multiple teams but only one Roster for any given tournament. Captains may sign up a Roster for tournaments under the League page.

If you are using an existing team, you do not have to recreate your team again! Simply sign up your OZF 17 roster using your existing team.

Grand Finals of Premier will be played as a no-advantage best of 5, but Open and Intermediate Grand Finals remain a best of 3. Division size limits for Premier and Intermediate are pending signups. Open will have an unrestricted number of teams.

Some ruleset changes have been made this season. Be sure to have a read of the changes to make sure you are up to date.

If you're new and not sure how to get started, don't fret! Check out the recruitment section where you can find or form a team. Teams are normally comprised of 1 Medic, 1 Demoman, 2 Soldiers and 2 Scouts. This season we will be much stricter on mercenary usage so we encourage you to fill your roster so have enough backups to last the season.

The Advisor program will not continue on in OZF 17. For any queries, use #help in Discord and queries will be answered.

TFLIVE will be coming back strong this season. All of the Premier division content you could even want will be streamed live. If you're looking for past matches to get a feel for the game, they can be found on the TFLIVE YouTube. However, the best way to learn the game is usually to just start playing. Whether you're a veteran or new to the scene, get on a team and come play!
