6s Season 13 Map Pool
Newcomer, Amateur, Intermediate, and Div-1 Divisions
Based on feedback given in the 6s Pre-Season 13 Survey we will be removing
cp_metalworks_f5 &
koth_product_final from the Season's default pool. These maps will be offerered again to the IM and Main divisions as alternative maps to play in KoTH-only Weeks 3 & 6. Along with
cp_metalworks_f5 being shifted out of the default map pool and used as an alternative map to play in 5CP-only Weeks.

not maps already included with TF2 by default, please click on the map names below to download the

In terms of Playoffs for NC, AM, IM, Main and Adv we’re still figuring/finalizing a way to condense playoffs over the course of a couple weekends rather than have it ongoing throughout 3-4 weeks consistently to deal with fatigue and burnout amongst players. More information will present itself soon once we finalize everything.
The pre-season survey shed light on our internal team about a couple things people would want to see integrated within Sixes™ going forward. Starting with the question
Would you like to see sm_projectiles_ignore_teammates implemented within the league? This command won’t be immediately implemented within Season 13 but will instead be polled globally to get an accurate count of players within Sixes and Highlander who’re able to share their personal input with the balance change.

For the questions that dealt with config testing for
Invite & Advanced along with the map testing question for
Main-Newcomer We’re still working on the details on how we should execute testing amongst the respective groups but in all honesty, it’ll most likely be different discord groups with the respective playerbases.
