After a long process involving sorting all of the teams into Groups, we are now almost ready to start the challenge. Each team has been put into a Division based on their location, so you will find all of the European clans will be playing together, with all the North-American playing in separate Groups and so on. Hopefully, this will make arranging matches for a suitable time a lot easier. We have also had to remove some clans that failed to read the rules correctly, and were fielding ineligible players or did not have the required 10 players on their roster. Please make sure you read and understand all rules for any tournament that you sign up for.

If you are a member of a team with an incorrect roster and you still wish to play, please sort it out as soon as possible and you will be assigned when the final divisions are published. If you missed the deadline, you are also still welcome to re-apply, although please note we cannot guarantee you a place at this stage.

Finally, please remember to assign your Buddies in the correct Buddy role on your roster. Buddies are the players from Higher divisions who are helping you out and are limited to playing Pyro, Engineer, Heavy or Spy. Please do not assign someone the Buddy role if they are not a buddy, and please do not assign more than one buddy, as it complicates things for everyone. This can be done on your Team Admin Dashboard, in the Teams section under Edit Roster.

Once we have announced the final divisions, teams will be able to schedule matches against the other teams in their group.

Highlander Rules Clarification
