The ozfortress Winter League signups are now open.
The Winter League is a new competition for a new era. It's time to get on board or get left behind. This is what you've all been waiting for.
This is no quick-draw-fire competition. It's trench warfare, a test of endurance. The Winter League will test players week in, week out. It'll test the limits of your team – your commitment, your dedication, your ability to work as a single unit. It may even break your team. At the end of the season, the weak will have disbanded, the strong will have survived.
What's the prize you ask? The right to call yourself the best. No one cares about yesterday's heroes. It's what you can achieve today that counts.
But the Winter League is not for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, subject to motion sickness, or play WoW; if you doubt your ability, the strength of your team, or whether you can keep up with the pace of the Winter League: Do not apply.
For you: The ladder remains.
For the rest: The Winter League awaits.
But you can only choose one.
Good Luck!

2009 so far as been one exciting year! From our FOOSH 6s Invitational earlier this year to our very successful donations drive. We arrive now at a very important part of the year where we change direction. The first and most important change will be the start up of a new Winter League in July 09. The purpose of this league is to open up the community to more competitive, weekly games, building towards a Grand Final in October 2009.
TF2 is coming up to its 2 year birthday this November and if you have been playing the game since its release you might want to take a moment to look back and relive all the highlights and moments. We hope that the next few years will see more growth and intensified gaming for TF2 (fingers crossed on patches). Our aim is to provide an alternative level of competition for our community members and community partners to what is already available as we believe this is what sustains a fun and action-filled gaming experience.
We would like to update you on a few of our projects below.
Winter League
The current OZFL competition has been expanding at a rapid pace all year thanks to the success of FOOSH. We've seen great Title matches each for both division 1 and division 2 which have entertained players and viewers alike. The ladder has been a huge part of accomodating the growing community since it began. The Winter League will build on these successes while giving a clear winner at the end.
All the details of the new Winter League will be announced this week. So stay tuned!
Server Update
The current game servers will be taken offline this week while we transition to our new server. This means that teams will be unable to book ozfortress games for this round. If this is a problem for teams, please notify an admin.
The new server has been purchased this week. After an exhaustive search, we've been able to secure a box that fits our budget and plans for the future. The server will come online in the next few weeks.
Server bookings for iPGN will continue as normal using http://www.ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=26719. Alternatively, GotGames' servers are available too.
Lag Relief supporters recognition
Our ability to purchase the new server was due to the combined effort of the community. Because of this, as a small thankyou, users who donated to the Lag Relief '09 effort will find a custom title and nice icon under their username.
CFL
A quick update for all you CustomFortress League fans out there. Tomorrow night is the finals match up between exile5 and rewound. The game starts at 9:00PM AEST - check out #ozfortress and #acf for more details on SourceTV ect.
Admin team update
I would like to also take the time to introduce three new admins:
micko: A long standing community member and unofficial helper we have brought this fine individual on board to assist in all the complex tasks of running a community like this one.
ravelizard: Currently building his team for OZFL called boyforce and an active forum user. His support around planning and games scheduling will be useful as we move into the next phase of ozfortress.
Solus: Coming from his position in one of the best clans globally, we called on him for insight into higher tier gaming as well as other improvements.
Looking forward to more TF2 action in the second half of 2009 with lots more to come next year too! Stay tuned!

I've finally tracked down the mediacentral issues we've been having. It should now work fine for all existing files.
We're looking at making it more user friendly and accessable in the future with the release of our new website which now even has a tentative date for launch which we wont share since we'll miss it!
We've got a few guys going through adding all needed maps back into the system so that we have a mirror for all Aussies of maps that are used in our competitions.

CFL concludes this weekend with the Grand Final and 3rd place matches.
3rd place: Sunday 28 June 9pm - Intensity v We-R
Grand Final: Monday 29 June 9pm - Exile5 v Rewound
STV will be running for spectators. Join #acf or #ozfortress on gamesurge irc for details on the final nights.
These games wrap up another successful season of the CFL. That success is all due to Aragon and No.Mercy investing alot of time and energy running the league, as well as organising pugs for players on the weekends in #acf. If you've played in CFL this season, or you're a frequent pugger, please use the comments to thank Aragon and No.Mercy for their efforts.
If you'd like to be a part of the custom map pugs and help playtest many of the maps that find their way into the regular ozfl competitions, join the steam group or idle in #acf.

Username change requests will re-open at 8PM tomorrow night.
Good luck!

server news
Recently, iPGN (iPrimus Gaming Network) started offering rental servers to the public with a few users jumping in already. Currently we're only offering the mainstream Steam games (1.6/CS:S/TF2/L4D) but they may be expanded in the future depending on interest. Currently there is servers available in both Sydney and Melbourne (subject to change depending on interest).
Prices and information can be found at http://shop.ipgn.com.au, which you can order through or you can contact mcky directly through IRC (/q mcky). Once it's set up, you will be provided with FTP access, and we're working on a web-based start/stop/restart feature (in case of crashes, which shouldn't be a problem anyway!).
For a short time we're offering a 5% discount on 3-month subscriptions and 15% off for 6-month subscriptions (you'll need to contact mcky directly for these). You won't have to worry about anyone running off with your cash because Primus is a truly global company that has been in the Australian telecommunications market for over 10 years.
Most commonly known for the long-standing iPGN #tf2pugs and iPGN-Comp for Counter Strike, iPGN has also recently partnered with www.dicevip.com to provide gaming news and coverage (including that of KODE5 Australia), as well as providing servers for the RAZER online competition from late last year (the one that ran). iPGN has also heavily supported the TF2 nGRi, FOOSH 6's comp and also the ozfortress league.
Also, a special thanks to ozfortress for allowing us to advertise our products here and their continued support of iPGN.
