G’day, Forts fans! Are you ready for Season 6 of the Forts Pro League? Now using a Swiss style bracket! Everyone can sign up for the FPL qualifier stage and registration opens on August 26th! Register your team on Challengermode and Discord following the instructions below. Teams will be seeded in a qualifier round in a 3 round swiss bracket format. If you have watched tournaments from other games, you might be familiar with the swiss system. If not, it consists of successive rounds separated in groups of teams having the same amount of wins/losses. Whenever a team scores enough wins to be qualified to the next stage, or enough losses to no longer be able to catch up, they stop playing matches for that round. For the qualifier round, the cutoff is at 2 wins/losses, so the 16 teams to score 2 wins will advance to the main stage. One match is to be played every week for teams who have not yet scored 2 wins or 2 losses. Teams may schedule their match at any time during the week, but if they have not played by Sunday at 8pm utc that given week they must contact a league official on Discord and make themselves available to play their match at this time. Any team not present will forfeit that match. At the end of this stage, the teams with 2 wins will qualify for the main stage, consisting of another swiss bracket, this time on 5 rounds (3 wins/losses cutoff), with the 8 top teams qualifying for the playoffs, where the ultimate winners will be decided in a single elimination bracket. In other news, it has been decided that Co-op on Elimination will not be featured this season. There will also be some map pool changes, and the veto process will no longer feature commander picks, only bans. When is it going to happen? Signups for the FPL begin on August 26th and end on September 20th at 7pm utc. Opening day is September 27th at 7pm utc. The playoffs (tentatively scheduled for November 29th 8pm utc) will be held once the main stage has concluded. If you want to participate, make sure you are free on November 29th as well as the two weekends afterwards. How to participate? Everyone is eligible to sign up for the qualifier stage of the FPL!
