GENERAL
- Players must play on the same name that is registered on the UBO site (or some minor variation e.g. Drakling -> Drak) AND this registered name must be the one that they have always used for UB. Players that recently changed their name must disclose their previous name on the UBO forums.
- Any player that violates this smurfing rule and signs up on an unknown or second name will be banned from future seasons, and any GM that knowingly drafted them onto their team will be penalized.
- Players that are not initially drafted at the start of the season will be assigned to the Free Agent Pool (FAP) and may have an opportunity to be drafted by a team at any point throughout the season.
- Signups will close once the draft has been run and will remain closed until the end of the season.
- Once you are assigned to a team, you CANNOT refuse to play for that team because you don't like that team or its players. Any player that shows this behaviour will be banned for 1 season and possibly more.
- Each day of the season begins at 3AM EST
SEASONAL PLAY AND MAP SELECTION
Any game that involves a player who plays for a team after they have been stolen or dumped, will be void.
Check your team before playing a game.
- All games must be to 10 points, but can be made for 3 - 6 players per team if teams so choose.
- At the start of each week a new map will be assigned for that week's games. All teams MUST play on that week's map, which is shown in the season calendar on the top right of the site.
- Teams are encouraged to play on both NA and UK servers, and teams must play at least 1 game on each server per day, or they will face a 15 point deduction for each server unplayed.
- At the end of each game, 1 person from each team must immediately report the game outcome and statistics.
If you're unsure of the game stats, you can double check the game logs in your Uniball directory, which is located at:
Program Files -> Uniball -> gamelogs or you can also ask a teammate in BR.
The maps for this season are:
|       Week 1: | Hockey |
|       Week 2: | Miniball |
|       Week 3: | Shades |
|       Week 4: | Hockey |
SEASON STRUCTURE
- Teams will be ranked by chess score for daily games and at the end of each week, the top 4 teams will be awarded points on the Points Board (PB) based on their standing for that week (a tie goes to the team with the higher Win %).
- The season winner is the team that has the most points on the Points Board at the end of the season, again with a tie going to the team with the higher Win %.
- There will be no championship games due to the scheduling conflicts that UB leagues often encounter.
- As an added incentive for teams to play more games and worry (a little!) less about losing, teams that lose a game will only lose 80% of the points that the winning team receives.
The points for the PB are awarded for the following ranks:
| Week | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | Week Total |
Week 1: | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 10 |
Week 2: | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 14 |
Week 3: | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 18 |
Week 4: | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 22 |
Maximum: | 22 | 18 | 14 | 10 | 64 |
