News: ALL STAR Matches

Important announcement regarding the ALL STAR Matches on Sunday 8th March 2009.

What are the ALL STAR Matches?

You may have noticed that the fixture list contains two special matches in Week 4 called ALL STAR Matches. 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" 10 player games.

After some discussion on the CGUK forum and here, the consensus is to have the following two matches.

Match 1: Xbox 360 All Star Match

Title: 20 Minute Halo 3 Marathon
Custom Set-up: King of the Hill game type with points awarded for kills and time in the hill. 20 minute duration, no kill cap.
Map: Guardian (or other if all players agree)
Date & Time: Sunday 8th March @2030

Host: Johnus Maximus (CGUK)

2. Leg of Time (NFP)

3. MAD DOG OF WARS (MVG) (mayhemisle77 is reserve)

4. shadow trooper (OAP)

Match 2: Playstation 3 All Star Match - CANCELLED

Title: Motorstorm Rally
Custom Set-up: Three Races
Map: Tracks to be selected on the night.
Date & Time: Sunday 8th March @2130

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. CGUK have a very large community of regular X360 & PSN 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 each 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).

Halo 3
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" + 0 "F"

Motorstorm
Finishing 3rd or higher in at least one race = 1 "League point"
Finishing 2nd or higher in at least one race = + 2 "F"
Finishing 1st in at least one race = +4 "F"

Examples: If ProfPlum finished 1st, 6th, & 3rd they would score 1 point + 4F. If RevGreen finished 2nd, 2nd, & 3rd they would score 1 point + 2F.


How do we record the results?

Please could one player from each match add a comment on this post with the results.
- For Halo 3 we will need the top 5 players after the match.
- For Motorstorm we will need the top 3 finishers in each race.

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 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.

News: Season 1

We'll leave it a week to allow anyone who is interested to join the league.

So far we have very strong interest from the NFP, CGUK and S4G but others may join.  As long as they are like-minded and play for fun any community/forum team can enter.

In the previous league there was an "All Star" match every 4 weeks featuring players from all teams.

The first matches could take place as soon as two weeks (w/c 9th February), so get ready for the fun.
