'''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 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 ==
[[File:Upward.png|thumb|200px|right|A staple map of Highlander, [[Upward]]]]

=== [[5CP|Control Points]] ===
''Main Article: [[5CP]]''
Control point maps have 5 points. Either team has to cap 3 of the five points to win. Capping the midpoint results in the winning team to get a forward spawn that allows the rest of the team to attack the 2nd point quicker. In Highlander, CP maps usually recieve negative feedback due to stalemate situations that can last for an extensive amount of time. For example: On [[Process]], when either team is unable to move through choke and both medics don't have uber yet. The stalemate usually ends with a medic popping his uber.

'''For Example:''' [[Process]], [[Gullywash]], [[Snakewater]]

=== [[Payload|Stopwatch]] / [[Attack/Defend|Attack and Defend]] ===
''Main Article: [[Payload|Stopwatch]] / [[Attack/Defend|Attack and Defend]]''

'''For Example:''' [[Badwater]], [[Upward]], [[Steel]]

Stopwatch maps are won by finishing in a faster time than 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.

=== [[King_of_the_Hill|King of the Hill]] ===
''Main Article: [[King_of_the_Hill|KOTH]]''

'''For Example:''' [[Lakeside]], [[Product]], [[Ashville]]

In a King of The Hill map, there is one central point on the map. Each team must try to capture that point. When one team does capture the point, their 3:00 timer will begin to time down. When the other team captures the point, the other team's timer stops and their timer starts to tick down. The first team whose clock reaches 0 wins the round. It is important to note that if the point has capture time on it when one team's timer reaches 0, the game will go into [[overtime]], where the defending team must reverse the capture fully or the attacking team must capture the point to continue ticking down their timer.

''Note:'' The team that does '''NOT''' control the point will have faster re-spawn times.
