+

==History==
+
==Current Leagues and Competitions==
−
ozfortress was established in 2001 by TFC players {{flag|au}} ''mercury'' and {{flag|au}} ''tempest'' to cater for the competitive ''Team Fortress Classic'' community of Australia and New Zealand. ozfortress hosted a variety of TFC tournaments up until the early 2010s before official ozfortress support ended.

===ozfortress season===
−
 
+
Announced on the 24th February, 2016, the ozfortress season is the successor to the organization's previous OWL tournaments. The season features three tiers: Premier, Intermediate, and Open using the Swiss system.
−
The ozfortress website was hosted on a standalone website for the majority of its lifetime until October of 2018, when it was announced that ongoing news posts would be issued on the organisations' Warzone page. In early 2020, the ozfortress forums went offline indefinitely, along with all information pertaining to competitions played before [[Ozfortress_Season_16|OZF 16]]. Currently, what was previously the ozfortress Warzone page has taken the domain name of the original ozfortress.com site and is the current home of ozfortress. Large portions of the old forums can be accessed through the [https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://ozfortress.com Wayback Machine Archive].

[[File:OZF27.png|thumb|450px|Banner for ozfortress Sixes Season 27, played throughout early 2020.]]
 
−
Announced on the 24th February, 2016, the ozfortress Sixes Seasonal League is the successor to the organization's previous [[Ozfortress#OWL:_the_ozfortress_Winter_League|OWL tournaments]] that concluded with OWL 14 and were continued into OZF 15 and beyond. The tournament has been ran triannually since its inception and features five tiers: Premier, High, Intermediate, Main and Open. Main was introduced as a solution to [[Glossary#Sandbagging|sandbagging]] and to provide a middle ground between Open and Intermediate.
 
−
 
 
−
====Format====
 
−
The ozfortress Sixes Seasonal League is most commonly run over a period of 10 weeks, the first seven being allocated to the regular season and the remaining weeks to playoffs. A pool of 9 maps is chosen prior to the seasons' launch. Premier, High and Intermediate are usually played in a round robin bracket, whilst Main and Open are run on the Swiss system. Throughout the regular season, two maps are chosen to be played by all teams each week. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top four teams of each division qualify for playoffs. Playoffs are run in a Bo3 format, with the three maps for each match being determined by a pick/ban system. The Premier grand final is a Bo5.
 
−
 
 
−
OZF playoffs use the Page Playoff system, in which the top two teams play each other(upper page playoffs) and the bottom two play each other(lower page playoffs). The winner of the upper page playoffs graduates to the grand final, whilst the loser plays the winner of the lower page playoffs in the semi-final. The winner of the semi-final then plays the winner of the upper page playoffs in the grand final.

===owl: the ozfortress winter league===
 +
The [[ozfortress winter league]], was the premier competition series run by ozfortress. It was a seasonal, round-robin [[6v6]] invitational. It ran approximately two times a year. Teams were split into a number of divisions, arranged by skill. A typical competition ran over 10 weeks of matches and teams are invited to apply for selection before the competition begins.

'''2022 - Present'''<br>

{| class="wikitable" cellpadding=2 style="width: 30%; text-align: center;"
−
====Overview====
 
−
The ozfortress Highlander Seasonal League is a newer league designed for [[Highlander]] competition. OZHL functions much in the same way as OZF, but with a map pool, ruleset and weapon banlist suited to the Highlander gamemode. The league made its debut in mid 2022 after the [[Respawn League]] was dissolved into ozfortress. Staff previously overseeing RSL competitions were installed as ozfortress' new Highlander staff. Similarly, many teams such as [[red pandas]] and [[rascals]] that had formerly played in the Respawn League (and UGC) have since competed in OZHL.
 
−
 
 
−
Ozfortress has been predominantly a 6v6 platform for the vast majority of its lifetime. Previously, ozfortress hosted a now long-defunct ladder competition; the Ozfortress Highlander League (ozhl) which had its last title in 2014. This previous competition was run in much the same way as the late ozfl.
 
−
 
 
−
====Format====
 
−
As stated earlier, the ozfortress Highlander Seasonal League is run very similarly to the ozfortress Sixes Seasonal League. The season is run over 8 weeks, with the first five allocated to the regular season and three for playoffs. OZHL uses [https://whitelist.tf/ozfortress_hl_s3 a less restrictive whitelist] than ozfortress Sixes.

'''2007 - Present'''<br>
 
−
ozfortress [[Ultiduo]] is an annual single-elimination competition run during the offseason between ozfortress' seasonal premier competition - in the past the OWL league and currently the OZF league. For the majority of its lifetime, Ultiduo has been an open tournament run over either a period of a few days or a few hours. Most recently, (Ultiduo 17) the tournament has been run over 3 hours and 2 divisions.

===MSNC: A Midsummer Night's Cup===
 
−
'''2017 - Present'''<br>
 
−
A Midsummer Night's Cup are a series of single-night [[6v6]] competitions that were run twice a summer from 2017 through to 2019. From 2020 however, MSNC have been run at irregular intervals with the recent addition of a MSNC [[Highlander]] league. Teams are split into three divisions - either Premier, Intermediate and Open or Divisions 1 through 3. The focus for these cups is to provide ozfortress players with a more casual laid-back experience in between seasons. Hence, many MSNC tournaments have seen looser team compositions and more extensive offclassing than the seasonal leagues.

===ozfl: the ozfortress league===
−
'''2008 - 2015'''<br>
+
The ozfortress league is the longest running competition in Australia/New Zealand. The ozfortress league is a ladder competition, open to teams of all skill levels. Match scheduling is determined by a team's win/loss streak, which provides them the opportunity to face opponents at other skill levels, or opponents they would otherwise never meet in regular scrimmage. This league is seen as a proving ground for new maps designed for the competitive community, and is paired with a less restrictive weapon banlist. ozfl is largely regarded as a pathway into ozfortress' premier competition, the ozfortress winter league series.

The ozfortress league was a continuous 6v6 ladder competition open to teams of all skill levels. Match scheduling was determined by a team's win/loss streak, which provided them with the opportunity to face opponents at other skill levels, or opponents they would otherwise never meet in regular scrimmage. This league was seen as a proving ground for new maps designed for the competitive community, and was paired with a less restrictive whitelist. ozfl was largely regarded as a pathway into ozfortress' previous premier competition, the ozfortress winter league (OWL) series.

===Previous Ultiduo Champions===
−
The ozfortress winter league was the initial premier competition series run by ozfortress. It was a seasonal, round-robin [[6v6]] invitational that ran approximately twice a year. Teams were split into skill based divisions, from Division 1 or Premier down to Division 6. However, the number of divisions often varied between seasons depending on the number of teams registered. A typical competition ran over 10 weeks of matches and teams were invited to apply for selection before the competition began.

OWL was later phased out in favour of the ozfortress seasonal league following OWL 14 in early 2016. Recently however, the ozfortress Winter League has made a comeback in the form of OWL 2021, running alongside the existing OZF seasonal league.
