Season 9 Summary and Awards
Finally the season is over and we again had a lot of fun doing it. We had many new teams but we also saw many old clans again. It‘s cool to see that you guys are following us and keeping us alive!
Let's start with one of the newest things. As you all saw, we have moved to a brand new website. We are not working with KMLeague anymore and this was the last season with our old system. In the future we are going to use Kendle's "Dragonfly" - a great new system Kendle keeps adjust almost daily to our needs, for which we are enormously grateful. We had a good time with KMLeague but we have to make a step forward and go to the future.
With the new system we are also going one step forward with anti-cheat. We talked about it and so we decided to play with UAC2 for the time being. We are aware of some issues relating to it and thus we are taking it for a "test drive" during our Summer Cup to see if we can become friends. Maybe we‘ll see UrT 4.2 with a working anticheat soon and make your and our lives a little easier ;)
Now let‘s go to this season. First i want to say: It was awesome again, thanks to you all! We had many active teams and there were very, very many really good matches. Toward the end of the season we experienced some inactivity due to people having exams or going on holidays and, sadly, some good teams dropped out. But things are not that bad since they have the chance to play next season again! Thanks to each and every team for their activity and for playing at Urban Zone.
There were so many teams which improved this season - quite a feat! We had Grzmiace Dupy which went from Division 2 to the top of Division 1. I think nearly no one expected that and they have our congratulations. But GD weren't the only ones improving. We also had our eyes on Humping Whores and FLAP who both did an awesome job in their division by beating Bullets and Holes reinforced by a number of Division 1 players, such as Slicey or Sutaffu. It‘s always nice to see that hard work really brings forth new up and coming teams.
We'd also like to take the opportunity to thank some guys which even made this cup possible. First of all H1tm4n for making all these beautiful awards after TwK dropped his job and left us hanging at the end of the season. Another person high up on the list is Taranis from octoris.com who sponsored gameservers for the league. And we also want to thank our crew for making this season possible. Thank you.
Additionally, we got a new co-admin in our team because our much stressed and abused admins need some holidays to relax too. Fr0stig joined the admin crew for the SummerCup and he is also available for you service.
But now it‘s time for the awards. Feel free to pick yours and put it on your website!
Division 1:
First place = <GD> || Second place = zT//
Division 2:
First Place = <KoS> || Second Place = duff.
Division 3:
First Place = s3x || Second Place = ~SG~
Division 4:
First Place = [US] || Second Place = tw//
Division 5:
First Place = [CHAOS] || Second Place = [OSS]
Division 6:
First Place = Nessus || Second Place = ==4fun==
Division 7:
First Place = #hW| || Second Place = *FLAP*
Division 8:
First Place = #mG || Second Place = paranoid|#
Division 9:
First Place = >SoW<#* || Second Place = -UC-
Division 10:
First Place = //TR// || Second Place = q3n'
Division 11:
First Place = =(SiN)= || Second Place = nS|
Division Asia-Pacific:
First Place = kp10. || Second Place = -WAR-
Sportsmanship Award: This time it was quite clear who will get the Sportsmanship Award. We decided to give it to #hW| because they always played fair and acted cool. Even when they had to play vs >--BH--< sporting a few unusual reinforcements.
Match of the Season: The best match of the season is not really unexpected. There was one epic clash in Division 1 this season between =jF= and <GD>. The match was awesome to watch because both teams did everything to win and it was a real tough fight. Check the match HERE !
Most Improved: This season saw very good performances from a number of teams and it was not easy to pick one that improved the most or more than others. After a lot of voting, re-voting, and re-counting, we decided to give the award to team [OSS].
Golden Dildo Award: This was one of the clear awards this season. There was a clan called >--BH--< which recruited some random Division 1 Players to try to win their Division. But not even that worked and they still finished fourth. Maybe next time try to build a team and play with the same lineup and do not change the players just to win. Good luck!
Golden Pacifier Award: The pacifier – our award for teams of the whining persuasion – has found a new home this season with team q3n' for their awesome whine to the staff. They whined because we GTV'ed their matches and flamed our staff on several occasions.
Our winners are free to pick up their awards HERE – and link the banners to their websites. Congratulations.
Thank you for playing this Season 9 and we hope to see you in the next Season! In the meanwhile you can join the UrbanZone Summer Cup HERE !

Aesir wins Allstar match!
And we've got a winner! Aesir are this season's new allstar team :)
The first map went to GD who convincingly won CTF on turnpike. The second map was orbital_sl in TS mode, this went to Aesir. The match needed a third map to decide who are the allstars of this season. The admins proposed that the map would be played in bomb mode to make it as fair as possible for both teams. In the end Aesir proved to be the best on sanctuary.
Congratulations Aesir! Well played GD!
Thanks for entertaining us on GTV, there were 78 viewers which considering the circumstances (sunday and world cup) is very good.

Summer Cup 2010 & New Website
As you might have heard we're working on our third Summer Cup, what you probably don't know is that we're going to use new league software. We said we would combine both leagues in the new KMLeague version currently being used by the TS League, but thanks to Kendle (www.leaguecms.co.uk/) we've been offered a spanking new League Management System.
You can find the new site here : www.urban-zone.org/dragonfly. Everybody that was registered on the CTF League can login without having to create a new account, sorry for the inconvenience TS League people. The website is still a work in progress but the foundations have been laid. You can already sign up for the Summer Cup 2010 (you can find the instructions further on in this article). The design will get a complete overhaul, if you are a graphics designer or think you can help us, or know someone who might be interested please contact us, we've got a lot of work on our plates.
Now you may ask yourselves "what was wrong with the old software?" our answer would be "it's like wrestling a lubed up rhinoceros with a bad temper". In short, we'll be able to do a lot more with this software that would ever have been possible with KMLeague, for instance you will be able to process your own scores, the opponent will only need to confirm the score and the site will be updated instantaneously. But we'll also work more on the community side of Urban-Zone, we're working on a download area where you can download all your maps/movies/urbanterror files etc. But most importantly we'll have the help and support we need from Kendle to customize the site to our liking.
I know I've just been bashing KMLeague, but we've been using the KMLeague software since 2007 when we were still called iourt.com and it has made possible that we could run this league for 3.5 years fairly successfully. For that I would like to thank the KMLeague developers for making this piece of software ;) available for free.
Anyway, moving on to the Summer Cup 2010! Last year we had 35 active clans hopefully we can beat that number this year. As usual all of the following game types are allowed : Capture the Flag (CTF), Team Survivor (TS), Bomb mode (bomb), Team Deathmatch (TDM), Capture and Hold (CNH) and Follow the Leader (FTL). Each week will have one game mode that gives +1 point, so instead of the regular 5-3-1 point distribution it will be 6-4-2. There is one thing though, both clans have to choose that game type, so make sure you discuss this before playing (we don't want drama). We'll also have weekly maps like we had in the last Winter Cup, and possibly limited gear, something that was a lot of fun in the last Summer Cup. More details will follow!
As it looks like Urban Terror 4.2 is a long way off we have decided to use UAC2 during the Summer Cup, people that can't use UAC2 (Mac and Linux users) must upload all demo's, for the smart asses we can see what OS you are using so don't even think about avoiding it, instructions on installation and usage will follow. We still require all players to keep their demo's on your hard drive until the cup is over and sometime after!
Signing up
We have done our best to copy all players and teams from the CTF League, unfortunately we weren't able to do the same for the TS League, so clans that we're only TS will have to register again.
Creating a New Clan
Clan leaders, register your account (if you don't have one already), login, in the left hand menu go to "Home" -> "Competition". In the top menu it says "My Teams" click there and "Create a New Team".
Now go to "My Teams" click on your team name, and fill in you "Team Profile" you can leave "logo" and "recruitment message" empty, but the rest needs to be filled in for the website to accept your signup in the league. Once you've done that you need to complete the roster, again in "My Teams" click on your team name, go to "Roster" and search for your players, note they MUST be registered on the site or you can't add them to the roster.
Now you are ready to sign up, go to "My Teams" click there, select your team and put something in the profile, it doesn't matter what just type something. Now go back to "Competition", there you'll see Summer Cup 2010, all the way on the right you have the "Options" click on the small chain icon
. Congratulations, you've successfully signed up for the Summer Cup 2010.
