ozfortress Highlander Winter '24 (S7)

Completed

Demo Recording Rule Changes
To better our league's Anti-Cheat, we will now be able to request POV demos from ANY match played on an ozfortress server - official, scrim, pug game or otherwise. Whilst we understand there will be some apprehension to this change, it is only happening because we feel it will contribute to improving the league. Scrim POV demo requests will be worked into the existing failure penalties. Unlike official match POV demo requests, the first penalty for failing to provide a scrim POV demo is a warning. After this, the next second penalty follows the same guidelines as the official match POV requests, meaning that if you fail two scrim POV demo requests you will receive a six-month ban. It is important to note that we will not conduct random demo checks for any match that isn't an official match. This means that if you receive a request for a POV demo from a scrim or pug, it is related to an active Anti-Cheat report.

Staff Updates

It's with immense gratitude that we are saying goodbye to one of the most diligent and generous admins we've had on our team Oldcustard. Custard has been with us since Season 2 of ozfortress Highlander. Through the past four seasons, he has not only assisted in running our seasonal leagues but has also provided players with servers for teams to play their matches on. It's been a pleasure working alongside you and we wish you nothing but the best.

This season we'll be bringing in a couple of new faces to assist in running our Winter competition. Coming aboard as some of our first new Trial Admins will be redja and woozy, who will be shadowing our current admin team of hive, Kai, Rainy and myself (Sperkle) throughout the season and helping out where they can.

Reminders

  • During Highlander Winter '24, we plan to conduct random demo checks to ensure players are recording POV demos. Please ensure that you are recording match demos to avoid punishment. You can do this via the in-game demo system following our guide which you can find here.
  • If you are unsure if something is considered a game exploit, contact a League Administrator for clarification. Ignorance is not an excuse.
