Important Information
Changes to Division Alignments
North America will not have only three Highlander divisions: Platinum, Silver and Steel. This effectively means that Gold has been merged with Platinum.
Changes to Placement Guidelines
The following changes will be amended to the Rules in terms of placement guidelines for Silver.
Silver - Is the seeding division for Platinum. Rosters are expected to be a mix of players with experience on mid to low Gold teams, established Silver teams and high Steel teams. Teams are permitted to have no more than 3 Gold players (or 2 Gold players and 1 Platinum player) from teams with established records (3+ legitimate wins) in the past 3 completed seasons and current season. Teams are permitted to have no more than 1 ESEA-I or ETF2L Premiership player rostered. See rule 3.2 for more information.
New Roster Cooldown Features
Season 21 will see the introduction of some new features, as requested by our top players, regarding rosters.
New roster rules (applies to all TF2 formats): Effective Midnight (EST) of Week 1 1.) Players may join 1 team in each format per 8 day period. The 18 hour roster cooldown timer still applies to roster joins. 2.) Teams may accept no more than 3 players to their roster in an 8 day period. A player that left your roster and wants to rejoin will still count against that limit of 3 per 8 days.
Exceptions: 1.) Prior to the effective date, players may move around freely and teams can accept as many new players as they want. These new rules will be in effect starting at Midnight (EST) of Week 1 default match day and will remain in effect throughout the active season. 2.) Teams sitting in one of the Regional *New Teams divisions are exempt from all aspects of these rules while they reside in that division.
