League Information

Season Length - 11 weeks

Maps - Please see the in built fixture system for the current lineup of maps.

Links to the maps for the current season can be found back on the main UTCTF League page. It is your own responsibility to have the correct maps installed on the night.

Match Times - During a Season Matches are played once a week on a Thursday Evening. As there is currently only 1 large division of 12 clans, matches will be played over two seperate one hour slots. The first group of 6 clans will play at 8:00pm, and the second group will play at 9:00pm. The group your clan is in will be announced on the main UTCTF League page.

Games will start as near to the Match Time as possible. The latest a game will start is as follows:

· 10 Minutes after the allotted start time.

This will give clans a maximum of 10 minutes (subject to the discretion of the Match Admin) to join the server.

It is up to you to be on the Match Server in time for the game.

Rescheduling of Matches - A clan may only reschedule one Match a season, BUT the other clan must agree first and may, if they wish, turn you down therefore receiving a win.

Match Day Information

Internet Relay Chat - Details are as follows:

· Server: any QuakeNet server
· Match Channel: #savage.ut

Swearing, flooding or anything else classed as disruptive in the afore mentioned IRC channels is not permitted; you WILLbe kicked/banned if you do so.

Please do NOT join the Match Server until an Admin gives the all clear and the match server is cleared from the last game (in the case of a match over-running).

Match Rules

Match Length - A MATCH consists of TWO 20-minute GAMES.

Match Scoring - Each game within a Match is classed as a separate entity.

Points will be given out per game as follows:

· 3 points for a win
· 1 point for a draw

The most captures scored will decide the winner of each game.

If each Clan has the same amount of captures by the end of a game it will be classed as a Draw.

Team size - 6 players.

Spectators - Are NOT allowed on to the Match server.

If a member of a Clan joins a Match Server and is not playing they will be asked to leave by the Admin. If they do not leave they WILLbe kicked.

Subs - Are NOT allowed on to the server unless:

· Their Clan loses a player due to disconnection.

Once the dropped player rejoins the Sub must drop immediately.

Comms - Real-time voice-comm utilities such as Battlefield Communicator and Roger Wilco are permitted.

Match Colours - From the fixtures page the team on the LEFT will always go BLUE

Defaults - If a Clan turns up with less than 4 players by the latest starting time then the Admin will default the game to the other clan.

If during a game a Clan deliberately drops below 3 players a Default will be awarded to the other Clan - overflows are of course excluded from this rule.

In the occurrence of a default being given the following will be awarded per game defaulted:

· 3 game points
· 10 Caps

If a Clan defaults halfway though a game the above will count unless the Cap score is greater in which case the greater Cap score will be given.

A Clan will not be allowed to continue capping if the opposition has defaulted the game.

If a Clan should miss/default 2 league Matches in a season then they will be removed from the League.

Match Server Crashes - This, unfortunately, does sometimes happen.

If it does please go to the #savage.ut channel and await your new Match Server details.

If a spare Match Server cannot be found then the Match will be replayed at a later, mutually convenient date to be decided by the head admin.

Following a Server Crash the game will be played with the following game Length:

· Time remaining greater than 15 Minutes: New Game
· Time remaining Between 10 and 15 Minutes: 15 minutes
· Time remaining Between 5 and 10 Minutes: 10 minutes
· Time remaining Between 1 and 5 Minutes: 5 minutes
· Time remaining One Minute or less: No Replay

If the Match Server crashes before 5 minutes of game has been played then it will be classed as a new game and any Cap score will be lost.

If a game has been playing for more than 5 minutes then the Cap score at the time of the Match Server crash will be carried forward to the replay.

Cheating & Disruptive Behaviour

Cheating Will NOT be tolerated.

Players are only allowed to use the standard out of the box UT 4.36 program. Modified CSHP's not done by CSHPs author are prohibited. Violation will result in a life time ban. We employ the latest server side anti-cheat software, and our admins are always on the lookout for cheats. Don't say you haven't been warned ...

Impact hammer jumps in combination with jump boot jumps, will only be allowed to gain HEIGHT, not DISTANCE! Players violating this rule will be kicked off the server and will not be allowed to rejoin until the timelimit has been hit, ie if this happens during the 1st half, the player can rejoin his team in the 2nd half, if the players does this during the 2nd half he cannot rejoin the match. Substitutions will not be allowed for this player. If, in the time between infringement of this rule and the subsequent kicking of the player off the server, a capture is scored by the offending players team, this capture will be subtracted from the final score.

If it is found that a playing Clan or Clan member caused the Match Server to crash then the match will be forfeited with the opposing Clan receiving the default score.

Spamming/Flooding the server - Will NOTbe tolerated.

If a player repeatedly uses 'messagemode1'/'say' or the console to Spam or Flood the Match Server during a game they will be warned to stop, if they persist they WILLkicked.
