Leagues United has Arrived
Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2016 3:34 am
On behalf of the "lazy admins who don't do anything," it is my pleasure to officially announce the launch of Leagues United. Yes, you read right we are planning for February 21st!
So here's what's going to happen! It's going to be slightly messy but we're trying to make things go smoothly. On February 17th, we will freeze both GU and Duc leagues while we begin our migration and merging of data for Leagues United. You will no longer be able to log in into either league site, create/leave teams, or send messages. Matches may still occur after the leagues are frozen and they will be handled appropriately once Leagues United officially launches. Official league servers will be appearing on the server list this week.
Teams
All teams, current and deleted, will be imported from the old sites. Where there are teams in both leagues with the same name, (Ducati) and (GU) will be appended to each respective team name to resolve the conflict. Team avatars will be added at the top of the profile text, just like player profiles. Team profile text will be imported and converted to markdown (again, there may be some issues and/or bad formatting that will need to be corrected). As stated above, team ratings are not correct right now due to incomplete features.
Team Memberships
Players will only be able to retain membership of one team. Prior to the final site going live, players are strongly encouraged to explicitly choose the team they wish to remain on by leaving their team in the other league (not now, but prior to the site going live). The remaining players with memberships in both leagues will be assigned to whichever team was created first. After this shuffling, teams with no members left will be set to deleted. If a team leader was removed from a team due to a membership in the other league, the new team leader will be set to the member with the lowest BZID.
Tell your friends about this and spread the word! Because Leagues United is coming!
