Welcome to UGC Highlander Season 9!

Get your team 'ready' to play!
Our Match Schedules for Preseason Week 1 Match will be posted on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  All teams who are set to "ready" or Green, will be scheduled.  Remember that win/loss results are posted for preseason matches, but they do not count on a team's regular season 9 record.  Teams who do play preseason will get preferential scheduling in week 2 (Regular Season Match 1).  For Season 9 teams will need to complete 6 of the 8 regular season matches to qualify for playoffs.

We will be making final division placements for ready teams over the next few days.
Many of our teams who played last season wil be placed into a division based on their record from last season. We have expanded the number of Skill divisions we have in North American divisions, so teams may find their team in a new division, and yet stil be at the same relative "skill" level. For example, many teams who played steel last season and finished in the top 50% of steel may be in silver now, and yet still be playing most of the same teams they played last season. 
Many new teams without records of their own will find themselevs in the current steel and iron divisions

New teams can join until February 2nd.  All teams must be ready to play by Feb 5th, or they will miss the season, that includes returning teams invited to this season.

New whitelist and Server cfg files are on the HL Downloads page.
