'''Highlander''', a form of '''9v9''', is the largest competitive Team Fortress format. Its similarities to average public servers makes it an ideal starting point for for new players, and its requirement that each team has one of every class means no matter what you like to play, there's a spot on the team for you.

==Highlander Competitive Format==
Highlander is a competitive format with nine players on a team, each representing a different class. The name of the format comes from the quote "There can only be one [of each class]" from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_(film) Highlander], a movie released in 1986.

==Game Modes==

===Control Points===

'''For Example:''' [[Cp_granary|cp_granary]], [[Cp_gullywash|cp_gullywash]]

'''For Example:''' [[Pl_badwater|pl_badwater]], [[Cp_steel|cp_steel]], [[Pl_swiftwater|pl_swiftwater]]

Stopwatch maps are won by finishing in a faster time then your opponent. You alternate defense/offense after each round. Time is measured by how long it took you to cap points. For example, if you cap all 5 points on a map in 8:37, the opponent must cap all the points in under 8:37 to win. If you cap 3 points in 5:11, the opponent must either cap 3 points in under 5:11, or cap at least 4 points.
