'''Contested Territory''' is a ~~bi-weekly~~ event in [[Bloons TD 6]], introduced in {{BTD6 version|32.0}}. During this event, players compete with their [[team]] in a match against five other teams to gain points by capturing and controlling tiles on a hexagonal board. At the end of the event, players and teams receive rewards based on the amount of points they have relative to other players and teams in their match. If Competitive Mode is enabled, players and teams additionally place on global leaderboards.

'''Contested Territory''' is a fortnightly event in [[Bloons TD 6]], introduced in {{BTD6 version|32.0}}. During this event, players compete with their [[team]] in a match against five other teams to gain points by capturing and controlling tiles on a hexagonal board. At the end of the event, players and teams receive rewards based on the amount of points they have relative to other players and teams in their match. If Competitive Mode is enabled, players and teams additionally place on global leaderboards.

On the Contested Territory board, each tile has a challenge and a scoring system associated with it, and can be captured by completing its challenge as well as beating the current owner's score, if any. Over time scores on tiles degrade, tiles stop generating points, and eventually tiles turn neutral again if not recaptured by any teams.

Line 31:

* '''Race''': players are scored based on how fast they can complete all rounds in the challenge, and are granted the ability to send rounds early before all Bloons in a round are destroyed. These scores are timed the same way as in [[Race Event|Race Events]]. Relics which grant use of a [[Power]] may not be used on Race tiles.

Every tile's challenge is randomized, including the map and modifiers, and typically restricts the use of many tower types and heros. No specific upgrade restrictions are used. [[Insta Monkey|Insta-Monkeys]], [[Double Cash (BTD6)|Double Cash]], and [[Fast Track Mode|Fast Track]] are always banned.

[[Insta Monkey|Insta-Monkeys]], [[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash]], and [[Fast Track Mode|Fast Track]] are always banned, like in the other competitive game modes.

Measures are in place to ensure tile challenges can always be completed; for example, there is guaranteed to be at least one tower with the ability to damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] and [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo bloons]]. Water oriented maps have a more likely chance to generate with water based towers, and maps without water cannot spawn water based towers.

Line 48:

Each game board has 24 Relic tiles and 24 Banner tiles, with the rest being Regular tiles. Since there are more than 24 Relics in the game, every event has several Relics that are unavailable.

==== Focus markers ====

Mayors and vice-Mayors can set '''focus markers''' on up to four tiles that team members can see on the map as well as in the team messages.

==Strategy==

Contested Territory can be played solo but preferably as a team to take full advantage of tile captures and backup plans versus other rival teams. In general, aim for the Banner tiles for the most score, get certain powerful Relic tiles to make it easier to secure scores on contested tiles, and capture Regular tiles otherwise. Certain rulesets are more favorable for some team members than others. And finally, it is best to use third-party apps to discuss plans for the team, or at least guess what the team is planning for in-game and share a common goal among the team.
