ALL STAR Match Week

Important announcement regarding the ALL STAR Match on Wednesday 2nd September 2009.

What are the ALL STAR Matches?

You may have noticed that the fixture list contains a special match in Week 3 called an ALL STAR Match. These consist of "all-for-one" games, chosen by the UGL, that provide the league with multi-team events. In the ALL STAR Match, one player from each community team will represent their teams in an "all-for-one" 9 player games. The match will take place on the Xbox 360 as that platform has the largest number of possible players across all teams.

Match: All Star Match

Title: 20 Minute Call of Duty 4 Marathon
Custom Set-up: Free-for-All
Map: Crash (or other if all players agree)
Date & Time: Wednesday 2nd September @2100

Host: EsNotTheMessiah (BB)
The Mehwarrior (CGUK)
Frequencey (MVG)
Leg of Time (NFP)

xx Babbles xx (OAP)

Reserves:
RigidDigits (BB)
RogueSolo72 (NFP)

jasgos73 (OAP)

What if we can't provide a player for one of the matches?

If you are unable to provide a player then you can "loan" a player from another team - there are always plenty of players ready to help out. Many sites have a very large community of regular X360 players, but I'm sure other teams would be happy to lend a hand.

How do we enroll our player in the ALL STAR Match?

Representatives must be decided prior to the match and recorded by United Games League. Please post a comment in this thread with your team's name, preferred player's Gamertag/PSN_ID, and an optional reserve. The reserves may be called on to be "loan" players for teams who can't field a player.

If anyone would like to act as host and set-up the game, please leave a comment on this post.

How will points be determined?

Bonus league points will be awarded to the top players in the match, irrespective of group, and will be added to their relevant team's league points. An additional bonus score will be added to the team's "F" column (no. of round wins).

Call of Duty 4
1st = 1 "League point" + 4 "F"
2nd = 1 "League point" + 3 "F"
3rd = 1 "League point" + 2 "F"
4th = 1 "League point" + 1 "F"
5th = 1 "League point" + 1 "F"

nth = 0 "League point" + 1 "F"

How do we record the results?

Please could one player from the match add a comment on this post with the results.

- For COD4 we will need the list of top 5 players after the match.

How can I offer to be a "loan player"?

Just leave a comment on this post and someone will take you up if they need a player.

News: Welcome Muppets with Guns

Please welcome Muppets with Guns. TheMightyb00sh describes the MWG as

The MWG are a friendly clan who mainly play inter-community competitions and at times matches with other friendly clans we know. The clan is pretty established and has 20-30 MWG members who all play for fun. We are mostly a mature gaming clan nobody under 16 is in the clan. All MWG members are dedicated to the community but also in it for the fun.

News: Welcome TGSN

Please welcome The Terrible Gamers (TGSN). TGSN describe themselves as

The Terrible Gamers (TGSN) were formed on the 20th of July 2004 on the official Xbox forums. The reason for our creation was simple, we were not enjoying playing on Xbox Live for one reason or another, the other players were abusive, rude, overly serious or were just not fun to game with.

So we started TGSN, based on the principles of having great games, fun times and laid back tournaments amongst ourselves and with other like minded clans. Our members come from all different backgrounds and we have a wide range of ages, we just really enjoy Xbox live games and hope we can keep the good ethics of TGSN and build for the future.

Welcome Old and Pants

Please welcome Old and Pants who, like the NFP, BBs, and SPS are former members of the Prefer This Player League. The OAPs were winners in season 3.

The Old and Pants clan is another of the ancient race of xbox live gamers. Having been around for many decades they have the wisdom to know that their ageing reflexes are never going to be able to compete against the supple fingers of the young. They do however manage to win quite often in clan matches and even managed to push all the way up to victory in Season 3 , all with a smile on their faces.

Please welcome the Self Preservation Society. The SPS describe themselves as

Fun lovin' xbox360 gaming clan always on the look out to meet like minded gamers out there that are more into having a laff online over than winning  . (whats winning anyway !!!???!!) We are lad n lasses spread over a wide age range and from all far flung corners of the UK !

1. Before entering the league you should make sure you can commit players for up to 8 weeks of fixtures, played on Sunday evenings.
2. Before the season starts each team will nominate three players who will be responsible for organising the fixture for their team. Please provide gamer-tags and email addresses for each player.
3. Each team will also list up to 10 multiplayer games that they can field a team in.
4. A directory of organisers and games will then be distributed to all teams to assist with match arrangements.
5. Update your team's details, including your three organiser/players and games list on the directory
   

2. How do we arrange matches?

1. The week's Fixtures will be published in a weekly blog post.
   
2. The week's blog post will be used by the moderators to record the results and publish the league table.
   
3. Refer to the directory when contacting the team and choosing a game
   
4. We recommend that a "match day team captain" is appointed for each team to assemble the team and handle game invites etc.

3. How many players are there in each team?

1. Each match consists of two teams of three players, unless otherwise agreed between the two teams.
   
2. Each team should strive to have at least one substitute player; just in case they are needed.
   
3. Teams are permitted to lend each other players if they are short on the day.

4. Can we have more than three players?

1. Yes, as long as both teams agree to have more each, or allow one team to "rotate" players (see 4.3).
2. Both teams must have equal numbers of players.
3. If one team has more players than the other then they may consider "rotating" their squad of players after each of the four rounds; to give everyone a game. Please check that the other team are happy to allow you to do this.
   

5. What is the format of each match: How many Rounds? What game types?

1. Matches are to be arranged as a best of four rounds
   For example: 4 rounds of deathmatch, or 4 races
2. Four rounds allow for the possibility of draw (i.e. 2-2).
3. The length and type of rounds should be agreed by both teams.
4. Possible scores are: 2-2, 3-1 and 4-0 only.
   
5. Please do not play additional rounds as part of the competition.
   
6. You can of course have a laugh in extra games if you wish, but these should not be scored.
   

6. What is the format of the FINAL?

1. Playoffs/Finals only: In the event of the match being drawn 2-2, then an extra deciding round will be played.

7. When are matches played? What time?

1. All fixtures are to be played on Sundays at 9pm, unless an alternative date is mutually agreed by the two teams.
2. Teams should record their result in the comments field of that Fixture's blog post on unitedgamersleague.blogspot.com.

8. Can we play on a Monday, Tuesday, etc?

1. Yes, but the league will work best if all fixtures are played on Sundays at 9pm.
2. You can play your fixture on another day, if both teams agree.
   
3. The rescheduled fixture must take place within 6 days or it will be marked a no-score draw.
   

9. How long do the matches last?

• As each match is four rounds, games typically last 45-60 minutes. Many teams tend to have a "muck about" game after the four rounds are completed.

10. What games do we play? What maps?

• Any Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, DS, PSP or PC game provided both teams can field a team. Refer to the directory when contacting the team and choosing a game.
• Platform (PSN/XBL), game choice, DLC choice and all other game rules are to be arranged between the two participating teams prior to the match. Refer to the directory when contacting the team and choosing a game

13. What are the All Star games?

1. Special All Star games will be played throughout the season chosen by United Games League
   
2. 1 player from each community team will represent their teams in these matches
   
3. If you are unable to provide a player, you can "loan" a player from another league - there are always plenty of players ready to help out.
4. Representatives must be decided prior to the match and recorded by United Games League
   
5. Representatives then will be displayed on this website to arrange matches.
   
6. Scoring will be for the top players in each match and will be added to their relevant teams league points. Bonus "For" points will be awarded for runners-up

2nd = 1 League Point + 3 For Points
3rd = 1 League Point + 2 For Points
4th = 1 League Point + 1 For Points
5th = 1 League Point + 1 For Points

Nth = 0 League Point + 1 For Points

14. What if we can't play in our fixture in time?

1. If one team cannot play a fixture they must inform the other team as soon as possible
   
2. If the fixture cannot be played then the two teams can agree an automatic 0-0 draw.
   
3. If one team doesn't show up, or is not contactable, then they will forfeit the fixture and other team will be awarded a 1-0 win.
4. If the fixture is not completed within six days of the original Sunday fixture date it be recorded as a 0-0 draw.

15. What if we can't decide on a game?

• If the two teams cannot agree on a game to be played then they may ask for an independent moderator to make the decision for them. The moderator will randomly pick the game from list of playable titles, or that the two teams have already played. (http://www.random.org/lists)
• If any problems cannot be decided between the two teams then the league moderators will make the final decision

16. We were not happy with the actions of the other team?

• We are all adults and most things can be sorted out between yourselves so please try first.
  
• Any abuse of opposing teams, by any means, will not be tolerated and will result in automatic removal from the league and will be reported to the community site
  

17. Is there anything else I should know?

• The aim of the league is to bring communities together and make new friends online so in no way should this league be taken serious to point that it is not fun anymore, which moves us onto the main rule:
• All games MUST be played in the spirit of getting drunk (if you are old enough!), having fun and laughing so hard a little bit of wee comes out.
  

Thanks to Mr Stuey for the original concept and rules.
