	~~These~~ are to be determined. ~~The~~ 4-Team Fortress settings ~~will~~ generally follow ~~popular trends in Fortress,~~ with ~~possible~~ scoring changes ~~related to~~ the ~~additional players~~ and ~~missing teammates~~. ~~It is not clear if teams should have~~ 4 ~~or 5~~ players. ~~Five seems to be more fun~~, but the ~~extra~~ lag ~~is unbearable for some meaning a few people usually die right away. Four players per teams is definitely playable and given the increased competitiveness of Fortress it is probably the way to go~~.		The rules are highly flexible and any variation can be determined by the organizer. 4-Team Fortress settings generally follow Ladle settings with scoring changes appropriate for the number of teams, their sizes, and how long the event should last. Each team has 4 players. In the past we tried teams of 5, but the excess lag made this team size impractical.

	~~The~~ event ~~will usually have only four~~ teams in a ~~single~~ server ~~with~~ the ~~winner being~~ the first to ~~win two~~ matches (first ~~4 teams to sign up)~~. If 6-8 teams ~~are interested, two servers can be used, with the top~~ two teams ~~from each~~ match ~~proceeding to~~ a ~~finals~~ server ~~(Only one match will~~ be ~~played~~ and ~~an additional full round of play~~ can ~~break a tie~~ for ~~second place)~~. It is ~~not likely that more than 8~~ teams ~~will ever attend~~, ~~so no guidelines currently exist for an event of that size~~.		4-Team Fort is generally a spontaneous event often decided mere days before it happens. Players should show the same sportsmanship as Ladle. However, there are no guidelines regarding team sign ups and placement on the bracket. 4TF runs successfully as a "Spoon style" event. That means, teams sign up on the Challenge Board then place themselves on the opening round brackets wherever they choose (without editing another team of course!).

			Event organizers must do their best to accommodate the teams. This may involve adjusting a second or third server to handle an odd number of teams and/or adjusting the number of match wins. Possible scenarios:

			* 4-teams: Winner is the first to take 2 matches.
			* 5-teams: Same as above, but lowest score of first match gets replaced with 5th team.
			* 6-teams: Add another round of play. Top two teams after one match meet teams 5 and 6.
			* 7-teams: Set a second server to max 3 teams and let let the lowest score be eliminated.

			The above examples are not not the law and can be modified for any number of teams. Players get pretty excited about the finals so playing first to 2 wins is usually a good idea. Again, teams and organizers must to their best to adapt the game and make it fun, if not fair.
