Brothers and sisters, friends and foes, the end is nigh! THE END IF NIGH! In just 11 days you will be facing the perpetual  void of nothingness that is the the gap between the end of this season and the beginning of the summer season. I dare not think of how many teams shall succumb to oblivion! But hey, we're not there yet so let's keep on partying!!! This week we have the empyreal beacon of 5cp maps; cp_badlands. Schedules will be posted shortly, so please check back soon!

Attention: NA Platinum Teams - Please take note of your brackets. Teams in Brackets M & Z will play on Wednesday 4/17 and teams in Bracket AA will play on Saturday 4/20 .

REMINDER: Pay Attention to the Schedule page and to your Team Leader Match List page. Team leaders must be very prompt with their communications during playoffs. Make sure you are utilizing your Match Comm panel for every match. Feel free to coordinate with the opposing team leader via steam as well. Just make sure that every communication regarding the scheduling of the match and the server it will be played on is documented in the match comm panel!!!

For this weeks map...
Config: ugc_6v_standard.cfg

Standard CP Map: The winning team is the first to score 5 TOTAL round wins, or the highest score after two halves. Halves can end when either the 30 min time limit is reached or when the cap limit of 4 is reached.

Overtime: If after 2 rounds both teams are tied then a 3rd round is to be played. The winning team is the first to score 1 round win.

Match results: Must be reported by the winning team leader, using his primary team leader login account. Total Score can be no higher than 5, each round score can be no higher than 4.

Example of correct reporting: Round 1: Team A goes 4-1, Round 2: Team A goes 1-2, Total 5-3 (Team A wins)
Example of correct reporting with overtime round: Round 1: Team A goes 4-0, Round 2: Team A goes 0-4, OT Round Team A goes 1-0, Total 5-3 (Team A wins)
Example of incorrect reporting: Round 1: 5-1, Round 2: 0-0, Total 5-1 (It is impossible to score 5 points in 1 single round)

Server commands: 

• Authenticate to your server with rcon_password ( rcon_password insertpasswordhere )
• Execute ugc_6v_standard.cfg from the command line ( rcon exec ugc_6v_standard.cfg )
• Reload the map. This is necessary for Source TV to start recording ( rcon changelevel cp_badlands )

Whitelist: Make sure you are using the updated whitelist from February 27th, 2013. You can grab a copy on our Downloads page. You'll definitely want to grab this if you want to see all those shiny new highlander medals!

Reminder to all teams: You cannot change the map under any circumstances...even if you hate it so much it makes you want to punch a baby!

Scheduling a UGC server: Slots fill up quick so make sure you request a server soon if you need one. Leaders, you can send an email to the admins directly from your leader panel.

If you have any questions, please come find us on IRC (#ugc-tf2) or contact us via email located on our support page.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
