'''ETF2L''' (''European Team Fortress 2 League'') is a community project and is one of the world’s largest competitive Team Fortress 2 league. ETF2L hosts both [[6v6]] and [[Highlander]] leagues, including many other cups.

The site went live on November 11th, 2007, and has since been running 16 6v6 seasons (the "All F*cking Summer Season" from 2010 is excepted from the official chronology), 4 Highlander seasons and the [[Highlander Community Challenge]] in 2010/2011 with 846 teams.

The organisation is currently lead by the head admins of Sonny Black, emb and Permzilla. Previous head admins are CanFo, dAyKiLLeR, DeNeusbeer, Kop, d2m, Dave, RaCio, SnowiE and Crasp.

As of today, for all competitions that were held at ETF2L, a total of almost €14,000 in prize money was paid out and hardware prizes worth over €10,000 were provided.

== Format ==
ETF2L is currently on its 16th [[6v6]] season and 5th [[Highlander]] season. Both 6v6 and Highlander leagues consist of different skill levels, ranging from Division 6 (lowest skill level) to [[Premiership]] division (highest skill level). Divisions usually have a size of 6 or 8 teams. A season usually consists of 5 or 7 weeks of regular matches, and a week of playoffs.

Matches usually consist of two maps, each lasting 30 minutes. The following win conditions are used:
* On [[5CP]] maps, the map ends once the time limit runs out or one of the teams scores 5 more points than the opponent. In case of a draw after the time limit ends, a tiebreaker round, known as ''golden cap'', is played. The golden cap ends once one of the wins captures all points or 10 minutes pass, at which point the team currently in possession of the middle point wins.
* [[King of the Hill]] maps are played in a best of 5 format (first to 3 wins), without a time limit.
* [[Attack/Defense]] and [[Payload]] maps are played with [[stopwatch]] mode and are played in a best of 3 format. The teams alternate between attacking and defending; if team A defended first in the previous round, team B will be the first to defend in the next round. Most of the time, an A/D or Payload map is the sole map of the week, and as such are not combined with other gamemodes.
* [[Capture the Flag]] maps are played as best of 3 rounds, with each round lasting either 10 minutes or until one of the teams captures the intelligence 5 times in a row. If the match ends in a draw, a golden cap round is played. The golden cap round ends after 5 minutes or one capture. If the golden cap ends in another tie, it is played again until a conclusive result is reached.

The top 4 (6v6) or top 3 Premiership teams (Highlander) qualify for the playoffs. Playoffs games are played in a best of 3 maps format. The lowest-ranked team faces the second lowest-ranked team, and the winner of the match faces the team ranked above both of 

The second last Premiership team faces the second Division 1 team in a relegation playoff, also played in a best of 3 maps format.
