UGC is trying to coordinate 2 top plat teams to play on this Tuesday 9PM EST. We will see what happens. This will be a good example to see if our top plat teams are flexible enough to play on any other day besides monday 9pm est.

If Tuesday/Sunday doesn't work for some, and an hour later on Mondays is too late for others, what about this...

First off, you play all games at their regular times. Dont stream them, because not many will be watching yet, your audience base is playing in their own games. Right after the plat players are done, be talking to the team leaders and find out who had the best match, easy to find out quickly. If you have a few saying theirs was good, just take the most popular or highest rank teams, or biggest upsets. Grab the STV from them, should take you a minute or two, and then stream the casters live commentary on the STV. Yes, a few people will know the results already, but the mass majority will not and more people will be available to watch.

32 that is what salamancer does

is it possibly for ugc to delay the posting of the match results from the matches that are casted by extv? this way the results aren't spoiled for people who want to check out the vod's later. maybe even put a link to the vod in the match results section in place of the score for that match.

Crossfire: Short answer is no. The second teams submit their scores they are msging us asking when they will be approved because they want to see how the score affects their rank. It's also important for us to approve matches asap so we can begin sorting through the huge mess of unreported matches, forfeits, disputes, etc that happens every week.

We tried to get the bonus! vs gR game to play on Tuesday but as is customary, a couple players on one of the teams couldn't make it so they defaulted to Monday.

maybe add a "gold" division in there between silver and platinum, so the bottom half of plat and the top half of silver can go into "gold". Make the requirements for going into gold be in the top 10 teams in silver for your application to gold to be considered, and to get to platinum only the teams that went to gold playoffs are eligible to join plat in the next season.

Good suggestion Rich. We have thought about adding another division mainly because we had to split our Steel division (div 3) into 2 separate but equal division (red/blue) because there were over 140 teams in that division alone. The amount of teams in between platinum and silver is much smaller. If we were to add another division it probably should go in between silver and steel to break things up a bit. But your point is well taken and I will bring it up at our next admin meeting.

I'd be for this, but only if the admins forced "legacy teams" in plat to be moved down to this gold division

egh i flubbed that up it wouldnt work. Fornaught (i think) if he's still around is the guy that did STA league, he had a real efficient way of filtering teams to the right ladder, is he an admin at UGC?
