Tue, 08 May 2012 09:30:00 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=229 We have a few spots open for teams in the TS LA and AP divisions. If you are interested, contact us ASAP. Note* Division AP schedule is now published. Div LA coming soon. Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:30:00 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=228 Welcome to Seasons 15 and 8 of Urban Zone Leagues. To start with, set your profile time up correctly: Look left. In the left-hand column, toward the top, you can see My Preferences. Click. Select your timezone AND your daylight saving time (example: GMT + 1 as timezone and European Union - Central GMT + 1 as daylight saving time). Click on SAVE CHANGES. Player transfers are now subject to the usual rules. Make sure you only let in people who can play with you. Schedule: April 26 – April 29 - arranging wars for Week 1 April 30 – May 06 - Week 1 (arranging wars for Week 2) May 07 – May 13 - Week 2 (and arranging wars for Week 3) May 14 – May 20 - Week 3 (and arranging wars for Week 4) May 21 – May 27 - Week 4 (and arranging wars for Week 5) May 28 – June 03 - Week 5 (and arranging wars for Week 6) June 04 – June 10 - Week 6 (and arranging wars for Week 7) June 11 – June 17 - Week 7 (finishing wars, deadline) Season Start You will have the rest of this week to arrange your first wars, and the first matchweek will start on April 30. Don’t forget to update your team info, squad list and especially contact info! Match Schedules You can see your match schedule in FIXTURES in the competition menus: CTF HERE TS HERE. Individual teams can also see their own matches in the Calendar and Results tabs of their Team Profile. Please start scheduling your first wars for the following week as soon as possible. You can do so by talking to your opponents but we advise you to use the website challenging system which makes it easier for admins and referees to see who challenged who and when and thus honor your choice in case the match needs to be forced. If you RESCHEDULE an already scheduled match with your opponent, contact staff to change the date – that way your match can still be streamed and cast. Keep your scheduling up to date. !!RULES!! DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE RULES. There have been no significant changes so not knowing the rules is not an acceptable excuse. DIVISION SUPERVISORS We appointed division supervisors for each division - they are your people of first contact, so do not hesitate to approach them. Their contact emails are all the same name@urban-zone.org and they can be contacted in the league channel - #urban-zone. If the supervisor for your division happens to be unreachable, talk to any other referee or staff member, we are all opped in the league channel. And here is the list for both leagues: CTF Division 1 – Malcon, fallen CTF Division 2 – MasterHat, AlexDenton, Liq CTF Division 3 – Sailormoon, ETRNL-JG CTF Division 4 – Laser, Raider CTF Division 5 – Zoro, Questor CTF Division 6 – Doornroosje, Sard CTF Division 7 – Supr3m0, AlexDenton, Liq CTF Division 8 – Trittin, Ballon CTF Division 9 – Xesya, Checkmate CTF Division 10 – Chamonix, CroCop CTF Division 11 – Keridil, Riches CTF Division LA A – coming soon CTF Division LA B – coming soon TS Division 1 – eya TS Division 2 – MasterHat, AlexDenton, Liq TS Division 3 – Sailormoon, ETRNL-JG TS Division 4 – Laser, Raider TS Division 5 – Zoro, Questor TS Division 6 – Doornroosje, Sard TS Division 7 – Supr3m0, AlexDenton, Liq TS Division 8 – Trittin, Ballon TS Division 9 – Xesya, Checkmate TS Division 10 – Chamonix, CroCop TS Division 11 – Keridil, Riches TS Division 12 – Soki, Fallen TS Division 13 – Godness, Vogels TS Division 14 – Blacksoul, Echo TS Division 15 – Benzo, devilmaycry, Vachette TS Division 16 – Blacksoul, Echo TS Division 17 – Benzo, devilmaycry, Vachette TS Division 18 – Malcon, Fallen TS Division 19 – Trittin, Ballon TS Division AP – coming soon TS Division LA A – coming soon TS Division LA B – coming soon IRC If you have any questions, contact the referee for your division or ask your question in the league channel - #urban-zone (irc.quakenet.org) and don’t forget to idle there. You can use this web IRC client from our website to join the channel. Please be patient though. It may take a few minutes before someone answers and sometimes you will have to ask two times. SERVER CONFIGS Don't forget to upload league configs to your game servers – you can find both here – www.urban-zone.org/ind...s&c=11. LEAGUE SERVERS Like before, Urban Zone has several servers available in case you need a neutral server for your matches. Some of those servers were donated by participating teams and two very nice Dutch servers were donated by our sponsor, Taranis's octoris.com - a server hoster you may want to check out. STAFF NEEDED Right now, we have quite enough European staff, but we are looking for South American and Asia - Pacific staffers who would help us manage the LA and AP divisions. If you have the time and skill to help your fellow players with competing at Urban Zone, check in with us in our irc channel. If you believe you have skills we could put to good use and you are not related to LA/AP, feel free to ask anyway. We just might find some work for you. FACEBOOK For all the Urban Zone news in bite size and announcements regarding streams & shoutcasts like us! TWITCH.TV We stream the live matches on Twitch.tv so if you follow us there we'd really appreciate it! Especially because the more viewers we get the more features we can get to make your experience as nice as possible. YOUTUBE All the matches we shoutcast end up on our YouTube channel so don't forget to subscribe. Now, go schedule your matches and GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN! Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:30:00 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=227 Signups for the upcoming seasons are now closed. The transfer lockdown is hereby in effect, please make sure any new players you add to your teams comply with transfer rules. Divisions and schedules will be published soon. Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:15:00 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=226 As has become custom tonight there will be two matches to finish of the season in style. At 21:00 the Urban Zone admins will be taking it up against the referee's in a Team Survivor and Capture the Flag match. At 22:00 the referee's will be playing against each other. Naturally we'll be shoutcasting the matches on www.twitch.tv/urbanzone . You can join us earlier too for chat and music, and maybe we'll shoutcast one of the nationscup matches that we couldn't cover this weekend. Before you ask, yes there will also be an All-Stars match when the best of the last season will take it up against each other in another fun game. Info will be posted soonish. Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:48:48 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=225 The signups for the new season are now open! We hope you will join us again and help us create another great competition. SIGNUPS The signups will close on April 24 and we should be able to release division soon after. You will have the rest of the week to schedule your matches for the first matchweek, starting on April 30. As always, you will need a minimum of 5 players to join the league. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING UP: 1. Clan leaders – see the top of the front page or click on the COMPETITION menu. 2. Select the competition you want to sign up for. 3. Now click the “chain link” button (you can see the text “sign up” when you hover your mouse over it) next to the competition you want and you will be signed up! 4. Do not forget to edit your roster, erase all players who left, add all new players, and edit permissions for your trusted players and captains. Sign-up instructions for NEW team leaders and registration instructions for other players can be found in our manual HERE. If you are new to this website we also have a pdf with useful information, you can find it here. Please do not forget to fill in your team contact information in this website (team website, irc channel, contact email, etc.) – if we are unable to contact you and verify your signup, you will be removed from signups. IMPORTANT: ALL players in both leagues have to be registered. Multiclanning within one competition is not allowed. However, players are allowed to play in one CTF team and another TS team. Do not – repeat: DO NOT – create accounts for your teammates. We are able to reference IP addresses and your team will not be allowed to sign up if we find one person faking accounts for others. Because we also have clans competing from outside Europe we want clans to set the correct country flag or you may end up playing vs high-pinging opponents. We also expect all teams and players to know the rules and abide by them - do not forget to read them or else you may face consequences for breaking them. Good Luck and Have Fun! Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:57:38 GMT http://www.urban-zone.org/index.php?name=Content&mid=224 We do realize we’re a little late with awards this season, but as people say – and we usually agree – better late than never. So, without much further ado, here is our summary of the past season. As usual, big-big-big thanks to our sponsors and partners - Liquid and Raider for the much used pengbot and intribe servers, respectively, AGBD for hosting our file depot, urt-tv for providing camera people for Urban Zone matches, and all staff, teams and players who donated money, time and resources to help us make this season happen. The awards for this season were made by Redkilla and they are super-awesome, if you don’t mind us saying. And here are the winners for this season. You can find your awards at THIS LINK and put them on your websites!

And dishonor, in some cases. Sportsmanship Award: In TS, the award for outstanding sportsmanship goes to team *riot* for always trying to play a fair game, giving all their opponents a fair chance. In CTF, team wTf| takes the award for outstanding cooperation with their opponents. Match of the Season: In CTF, all* and =jF= take the best match award for their showcase MATCH which could be taken by schools to teach ctf gameplay. If schools decided to do something useful and started teaching UrT. In TS, the match of the season was played by Italy* and =SC= in this THRILLING DRAW with absolutely equal scores. Most Improved: The team that caught our eye in CTF was {GG}. The most improved team in TS seems to be [b00bs] who have far surpassed everyone’s expectations of improvement. Best Gambler Award: Our betting module (HERE) produced a new winner! After seasons of domination of the same people, we have a new best gambler and a maybe new expert in community skill, Shans. Let’s see if he can pull it off again next season. And now the idiot awards. Golden Pacifier Award: The pacifier is our award for people who should think more before they decide to talk and act. The CTF one goes to a person, Opiekacz of team BY, for being the most annoying creation on the face of this planet, right after pokemon fans. In TS, the award goes to `j8 for finding it necessary to whine even when they win. Golden Dildo Award: The golden dildo needs no explanation - we give it to people who act like real d… dimwits. This season, the CTF award goes to a team that changed players and names as frequently as a reasonably clean person changes underwear – ssb/ (the name is no doubt only temporary). In TS, this doubtful distinction goes to team LtD* for – mostly unsuccessful – forfeit hunting. Our winners are free to pick up their awards HERE Thank you all once more for making this season possible, for playing your best, and we invite you to join us next season, the signups for which we will be opening shortly.
