Hate to see bzbg go after so many years, so many novelty maps.
Many thanks for years of service. It's been a good run.

dear blast:
may i have GU-LEAGUE.HIDDEN

ty in advance

Zoom, you might run ideas on bzpro server by tw1sted and see what appeals to players.

zoom, you're going to have to specify what you have in mind....small changes?...like what?
Small is relative

OpenLeague is coming back online.....been busy with real life for past few months . ....there aren't enough players to support two leagues in duc and gu as it is. You're right, zoom. But I like the idea of variety and matching on different maps for a change of pace. OL is not meant to compete with ...

for an active team, think about it this way. my team has matched almost 50 times in the past week, of which 24 (about half) were autoreported. that's 26 others that weren't , or over 3 matches a day that need to be manually entered. and numbers like this aren't inconceivable for any team with a few...

40% of the last 30 matches had to be entered manually. just saying.....its not like 95% are ARP.

Not to be the devil's advocate, but "How imminent is 'imminent?"
If not today, then why not add a few refs? Where is the harm?

Seem like with recent events, that you guys need a lesson in etiquette! Yes, match servers are for league players' use to fm or official. Players in a fm or offi have the right to say no to "2 in". Sometimes they want to play as 2vs2, or 3v3, etc. While it doesn't feel good to be left out ...

I don't believe everyone should have ref perms, period. Been on the receiving end of having to check out a falsely reported match. Took over an hour of tracking down the replay server and then going through the matches that day to ascertain whether or not the match was indeed played and the correct ...

Blast,
May I please have DUCATI.HIDDEN

ahs3 has LTS Ducati style running on bzbg 4949 on list server.
We tested it out a few days ago.

Thank you, ahs3!

Mark your calendars:

Winter Riker Cup will be scheduled on the 2nd Saturday in January each year.

Summer Riker Cup will be the 1st Saturday in August each year.

GU site is down temporarily.

Please post match reports here in the meantime.

I've suggested LTS before for hix map. Most say that it will just be players camping.

I liked it with ducati and babel maps

The LTS plugin is being retooled by allejo.

Do you really need gu admins to organize a 10 vs 10 (or greater) on a semi routine basis? You can decide whether you want to do it weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly. Take a poll amongst players and pick a weekend day, designate a time and say come one, come all. Post it on these forums, ask an admin...

As has been said by other, Rikers/Chesval is meant for "the best of the best" it might not be the best idea to take that way. But what about introducing a tournament that is like Rikers specifically designed for a wide range of player skills. That way we wouldn't have to worry about takin...

Thank you slime and Frank for the breakdown to 4 items.
