Highlander Season 5 powered by BlackOut Gaming: Rule Updates and Divisions Released!

Rule Updates

A Rule Change that have been put into place to allow Highlander and 6v6 Rules more similar.

1. Wildcards
S4: Wildcarded matches may not be wildcarded again.
S5: If one team has already wildcarded a match, the other team can also wildcard it if they have a wildcard available. Matches cannot be wildcarded more than once per team.

And another rule related to class limits

2.1.1 Gamemode: 9on9, classlimit 1

The Highlander gamemode is played 9on9 with a general classlimit of 1. While classlimit 1 is not forced by the config, teams are expected to follow the classlimit at all times during the game. The only allowed case of swapping class is to forward spawn. Any other case can be punished depending on the circumstances.

An example of how the above can be abused can be found here. However there are various situations in which this can abused.

Final Divisions Released
