TF2 6v6 Rules Options

[SirSquidness]

These will be the rules used for TF2 6v6 at v16 and future events, unless otherwise noted

Respawn’s Team Fortress 2 Competition will be based upon the Oz Fortress Winter League Rule Set, with modifications to the structure to fit.

See http://www.ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=35266 for the original rule set.

Changes from the OWL:SE Rule Set:
These changes are in addition to the rule set, and where there are conflicts, these rules take precedence.

Section 1
• The tournament will be run in a double elimination format.
  Section 2
• All teams must register before 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the event
• If team wishes to withdraw, they must inform the competition organiser as soon as humanly possible.
• Players are allowed to be substituted with other paying attendees as long as they are not already in another TF2 team at the event.
  Section 3
• Match times and maps will be dictated by competition organisers.
• Forfeits will count as a loss.
• A forfeit will be forced if:
• - A team does not present themselves to the competition organiser within a certain time frame (10 minutes and two calls using the notifier application available at the LAN or the PA system) when requested
• -A team does not connect to a server in a reasonable time frame (10 minutes and two calls using the notifier application available at the LAN or the PA system)
• -A team cannot find all six of their players within a reasonable time frame
• Team are allowed to play for 5 minutes missing up to one of their members before being forced to forfeit
• -A team leaves the match before it has been won for non-technical reasons (If there is a network or power drop, the opposing team should pause the server and wait for them to rejoin - teams should consult with the organisers if they would like a rematch)
  Section 4
• Mercenaries are allowed and must meet two criteria
• --Must be a paying attendee of Respawn
• --Must not be a participant in another TF2 team at the event, including teams knocked out of the tournament
• Spectating is only allowed through SourceTV.
• Draws are not allowed.
• --5 point push pull maps, a golden cap should be used to determine the winner

[priorax]

While running this competition, I have generally tried to pick maps this way:
Stock maps for the first few brackets, see who is left after, if there are significantly more OzFortress players to non-comp players I will start to bring in custom maps, generally during the final I would have something like cp_gullywash as the tiebreaker for the final anyway.

So adding to the list above cp_gullywash_final1 in hopes that it means we don't have to use cp_well or cp_freight_final1 (great map for highlander apparently) again.
