Editing Competitive Formats (section)

== Competitive Formats without Seasoned Tournaments ==
While these game modes do not feature regularly organised tournaments, they are still played frequently among some competitive players.

=== BBall ===
{{Main|BBall}}
BBall is often considered the "bar pool" of TF2, as many high and low level players across different leagues play it, and little infrastructure is needed to start games or tournaments in it. The game is played on a replication of a basketball court, with the intel being used as a ball. Players must use a combination of rocket jumping and DM to take the ball from their opponents, and jump into (on top of) their hoop while holding it. The ball initially spawns in the center of the court. When a side scores a point, the intel spawns near the opposite sides hoop, giving the team (to most recently lose a point) an advantage in the next play. The majority of weapons are banned in BBall, usually save for the Original, and in some cases the Escape Plan and Gunboats.

=== MGE ===
{{Main|MGEMod}}
One of the only established forms of 1v1 competition in TF2, [[MGE Mod|MGE]] is a mod that offers players the chance to play 1v1 games where the first to a given number of frags (usually 20) is the winner. This format is more popular among Soldiers, Scouts and Demomen. It is used both as a common form of practice, and as a competitive format in and of itself. There are multiple populated MGE servers in all regions where players can practice their skills for use in various other competitive formats. Since May 2013, the MGE mod was updated to also support 2v2, which tries to simulate more of a 6v6 environment.
