What is Highlander?
Highlander is a form of TF2 play that consists of 9v9 1 of each class. "There can be only one."

Why do we care?
Highlander completely changes the style of play involved, it makes you focus more on individual targets as opposed to just pub spam. We and many others feel this form of play isn't just a break from the normal TF2 pub, but is also more fun with a small competitive twist.

How are teams equal?
Teams are equalized with a selection method that is done by selecting 2 captains. There is then a coin toss to decide which captain gets their pick between calling captain class (the class that both captains will be playing) or picking the first player. After the captain class is picked, the captain with the first pick then selects 1 player he wants on his team. That player can then choose from the remaining 8 classes. From there, captains alternate first picks on a counter class basis. For example:
(Scout > Engineer > Spy > Pyro > Heavy > Medic > Soldier> Demo > Sniper) or
(Medic > Heavy > Sniper > Spy > Pyro > Soldier > Demo > Scout > Engineer)
Only rules of this is that Heavy and Medic as well as the Soldier and Demo are always paired together.

How does the class picking work?
A class selection moderator will then say "dot up to play (Class)". "Dotting" up means Players who wants to play that class will need to type a period (.) in the text box if they want to be considered for that class. The captains then chooses from the selection pool. If you had to sit out during the last game, you can type an exclaimation mark (!) instead. This guarantees that you will be selected by one of the captains. The first captain is not required to pick you, but the 2nd will be. If there are two or more players, then both captains are required to pick from the exclaimation pool. This is to keep the pool balanced so that everyone gets a chance to play and be fair for everyone. We appreciate the players that have to sit out since it allows a larger selection pool for the next game. Please do not exploit it.

zAlfy Rule: A player may not repeat the same class every game, for getting face raped is not fun. This does not apply if no one else wants to play the current class.

Are any weapons banned?
Sandman, Dead Ringer, Eternal Reward, Wrangler, Mad Milk, and Natasha are the current ones. Not because they are considered overpowered, but they create too much statemate in the games.

Who is invited?
Basically any solid/cool player you want to invite.

When are these held?
We will run one every Saturday 8PM Central.

But sir you haven't provided us with enough information!
