===Flank===
 
===Flank===
  
In 6's, the flank consists of the roaming Soldier and the flank Scout, who coordinate with one another to secure kills. For example, in many situations, the roamer uses his Scouts as bait to lure the enemy into the roamer's hiding spot for an easy pick. If plays are made on the flank and the team secures a positional or number advantage (in 6s and Highlander) the flank classes can push forward to hold territory and create a buffer for the combo classes to push in and capture points.

In 6's, the flank consists of the roaming Soldier and the aggressive Scout. In many situations, the roamer uses his Scouts as bait to lure the enemy into the roamer's hiding spot for an easy pick. If plays are made on the flank and the team secures a positional or number advantage (in 6s and Highlander) the flank classes can push forward to hold territory and create a buffer for the combo classes to push in and capture points.  
  
 
In Highlander, the flank composition can vary between teams, but generally consists of the Soldier, Scout, Engineer, Pyro and Sniper (both occasionally) and the Spy. Soldier plays a roaming role to distract the enemy and secure picks. Spy attacks with the help of a distraction, such as a bombing Soldier or Über push. When the Scout is not pushing the Payload cart, he watches the flanks and ensures no one flanks his own team, by putting out damage and/or getting key picks, for instance, shutting down the enemy Sniper. Ocassionally, Pyro may choose to make flanking plays if he does not stick to the combo, and the Engineer can choose to patrol a flank on maps with his sentry guns. In addition, the Sniper normally hangs far back behind friendly lines to get picks (or with the combo) but if he chooses, he may roam around on the flank to secure better sightlines on enemy players, especially the enemy Medic who is building Über.

+
Overtime is the period of time where one team has successfully capped all the points and is waiting for any remaining semi-captures to die down. If the opposing team successfully captures the point, overtime ends and that team must capture every point.
In [[King of The Hill]], overtime occurs once the timer has been run all the way down by one team, but the other team is contesting or has some cap time on the point. In [[Attack/Defend]] if the opposing team successfully captures the point, overtime ends, time is added to the timer, and that team must then capture the next point.

===Rotate===
 
 
Essentially another word for 'move'. For many maps the combo will hold one area (often choke) while the flank classes hold another area (often flank). If the combo wants to push from the flank it is often called for them to 'rotate flank'. They will then move to the flank. The key difference from just saying 'move' is that rotate implies that the flank will swap with the combo and then hold/push from there.
 
Individual players can also be called upon to 'rotate to the combo' or rotate to a specific location. In these cases it essentially just means 'move'.
 
  
 
===Sac===
 
===Sac===
  
Short for sacrifice, when you purposely get yourself killed to help your team. For example getting yourself killed to touch payload cart or jumping into their entire team to force their Medic to use Uber. Also the action of sac is called "sacking".

+
When a [[Medic]] is significantly closer (usually ~20% or more) to having a full uber or gets his uber before the other team's [[Medic]].
 
 
===Über Counting===
 
 
 
When a team (often the Medic) calculates or predicts the enemy Medic's Uber levels allowing them to be aware of potential Uber advantage/disadvantage. This can be done in several ways including calculating the time since the enemy Medic has spawned, and noting the difference in time between your Medic spawning and theirs. Knowing which team has Uber advantage/disadvantage has a large impact on the immediate strategy of the team.
 
 
 
===Über Exchange===
 
  
When one Medic uses an Uber to force the other Medic to also use Uber. Both teams will try to make the enemy Medic flash more or drop players (not save them with the uber) to give them an advantage. It is a tactic commonly used to break stalemates and bust through choke points.

===Turtling===
 
 
Turtling is a gaming strategy where the player focuses on building up his defenses rather than going on the attack in a way that depends heavily on defense, such as blocking, counter-attacking and then avoiding attacks until the time runs out. Eg. defending last when having match points advantage until the half time concludes.

===Flank(ers)===
  
The Flank is any area where the combo isn't. The Flank can also refer to the players who watch those areas. They are the players that don't rely on their [[Medic]] for heals and who prevent enemy flankers from getting into any positional advantage from which they can ambush the [[Medic]]. They tend to spark pushes by forcing Über or securing significant picks. In [[6v6]], the flank typically consists of the [[Roamer]] and a [[Scout]].

The sequence of jumps and paths each class takes to the mid point. While there are many different strategies and rollouts employed for each map, the general objective is for each team to have the fastest rollout to the middle point that leaves everyone with a full buff, as that gives immediate point presence and area advantage to the faster team.
