	No restriction 6v6 is an experimental competitive format featuring six players per team with no class limits or weapon bans. It is run by [[RGL]] and its debut season began on the 12th of March 2019 in North America. The format is designed to 'overthrow the meta' and (in the first season) teams were actively incentivised to use non-standard lineups. Maps are also highly varied, with [[5CP]], [[KOTH]] and [[Payload]] all being played. A common theme among the Invite teams was to run two Medics with a variety of other classes, but it is possible to use any combination of classes, for example, six Airstrike Soldiers or three Medics and three Demos, and the classes used would often shift significantly as a match progressed.

	One of the only established forms of 1v1 competition in TF2, [[MGE Mod\|MGE]] is a mod that offers players the chance to play 1v1 games where the first to a given number of frags (usually 20) is the winner. This format is more popular among Soldiers, Scouts and Demomen. It is used both as a common form of practice, and as a competitive format in and of itself. There are multiple populated MGE servers in all regions where players can practice their skills for use in various other competitive formats. Since May 2013, the MGE mod was updated to also support 2v2, which tries to simulate more of a 6v6 environment.

	6v6, commonly referred to as 6s, is the most common competitive format, with the most skilled players competing with the most refined metagame amongst any other game mode. This format generally utilizes class limits of 2 on all classes save for [[Demo]], [[Medic]], [[Heavy]], [[Engineer]], which have a class limit of 1 ''(this can vary depending on the league and ruleset of the league)''. 6v6 is mostly played on [[5CP]] maps, as well as [[King of the Hill\|KOTH]] maps and usually features a team running two [[Scouts]], two [[Soldiers]], a [[Demoman]] and a [[Medic]].		6v6, commonly referred to as 6s, is the most common competitive format, with the most skilled players competing with the most refined metagame amongst any other game mode.

	Ultiduo is a competitive format consisting of two players on each team, usually a Soldier and a Medic. The objective is similar to King of the Hill, capture and defend the point from the opposing team. To win, you must run down the timer, which is done so by capturing the point. Since this gamemode consists of only a Soldier and Medic, it is heavily reliant on deathmatch skills.

			Ultitrio is a spinoff of Ultiduo that instead has three players on each team, these being a Soldier, a Medic, and the addition of a Scout. The extra class on each side results in a considerably more strategy-rich game format. There is currently no established competitive scene for Ultitrio.
