'''United Gaming Clans''' (UGC) was founded in 2002 as Team Fortress Classic (TFC) and Counter-Strike (CS) league. At their peak, UGC was the largest TF2 league in the world with over 10,000 unique players of their  9v9 ([[Highlander]]), [[6v6]] and [[4v4]] leagues.
 +
 
 +
==Divisions==
 +
The UGC league separates teams into 2 distinct divisions. These divisions come in the order as follows: Main and premium.
 +
 
 +
== Format ==
 +
UGC runs three seasons a year in all TF2 formats. Seasons typically start in January, June and September. Each season is comprised of 8 regular season weeks and 5 playoff weeks. Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. During the regular season, teams will play against opponents with a similar rank win/loss streak. For the playoffs, the Top 8 or Top 16 teams in a division are placed into a title bracket. Platinum and Gold divisions play in a Double Elimination bracket while Silver, Steel and Iron divisions play in a Single Elimination bracket. Grand Finals are played in a Best of 3 Maps format. Each team in the finals map can pick 1 of the 3 maps to be played from the season map pool. The tie breaker map is selected by Admins.
 +
 
 +
Regular season matches are played on single maps, in 2 halves. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:
 +
* On [[5CP]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out, or one team wins 4 rounds. The second half ends once the time limit runs out, or the other team wins 4 rounds or when one team has won their 5th cumulative round. In case of a tie after both halves, an overtime round is played, which is won by capturing all points once. If overtime is inconclusive, a "sudden death" round is played.
 +
* On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the first half of the map ends only when one team wins 3 rounds. The second half ends if the other team wins 3 rounds or when one team wins their 4th cumulative round.
 +
* [[Attack/Defend]] and [[Payload]] maps are played as best of 3 [[stopwatch]] rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest.
 +
 
 +
=== Highlander ===

=== Divisions ===
 +
In the order of the highest skill division to the lowest:
 +
 
 +
* '''Platinum''' - Top Tier. This division is for people considered to be at the top of their game. This division arguably requires the most time, dedication, coordination, and skill to compete in.
 +
* '''Gold''' - 2nd Tier. This is for people who have a lot of competitive experience and a high skill level with a desire to get better at the game.
 +
* '''Silver''' - 3rd Tier. This is for people who can list more than a couple seasons of experience and who are more committed to the upward path towards Gold/Platinum.
 +
* '''Steel''' - 4th Tier. The first "skill tier." This is for people with a little competitive experience or to people who have at a couple of seasons under their belt.
 +
* '''Iron''' - 5th/Bottom Tier. Entry-level aimed at players with no prior competitive experience. Considered a "special case" division.

History
Created:
2002-06-26

United Gaming Clans (UGC) was founded in 2002 as Team Fortress Classic (TFC) and Counter-Strike (CS) league. At their peak, UGC was the largest TF2 league in the world with over 10,000 unique players of their 9v9 (Highlander), 6v6 and 4v4 leagues.

Divisions[edit]

The UGC league separates teams into 2 distinct divisions. These divisions come in the order as follows: Main and premium.

Format[edit]

UGC runs three seasons a year in all TF2 formats. Seasons typically start in January, June and September. Each season is comprised of 8 regular season weeks and 5 playoff weeks. Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. During the regular season, teams will play against opponents with a similar rank win/loss streak. For the playoffs, the Top 8 or Top 16 teams in a division are placed into a title bracket. Platinum and Gold divisions play in a Double Elimination bracket while Silver, Steel and Iron divisions play in a Single Elimination bracket. Grand Finals are played in a Best of 3 Maps format. Each team in the finals map can pick 1 of the 3 maps to be played from the season map pool. The tie breaker map is selected by Admins.

Regular season matches are played on single maps, in 2 halves. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:

  • On 5CP maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out, or one team wins 4 rounds. The second half ends once the time limit runs out, or the other team wins 4 rounds or when one team has won their 5th cumulative round. In case of a tie after both halves, an overtime round is played, which is won by capturing all points once. If overtime is inconclusive, a "sudden death" round is played.
  • On King of the Hill maps, the first half of the map ends only when one team wins 3 rounds. The second half ends if the other team wins 3 rounds or when one team wins their 4th cumulative round.
  • Attack/Defend and Payload maps are played as best of 3 stopwatch rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest.

Highlander[edit]

UGC's Highlander league is the largest of the 3 formats they play in TF2 with just over 8,000 unique players. There are five different regions for their Highlander league: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia, Australia/NZ (AUS/NZ) and South America (SA). There are also different skill-based divisions for the NA, EU and AUS/NZ leagues.

Map List for Season 30[edit]

6v6[edit]

There are five different regions for their 6v6 league: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia, Australia/NZ (AUS/NZ) and South America (SA) There are also different skill-based divisions for the NA, EU and AUS/NZ leagues.

Map List for Season 30[edit]

4v4[edit]

There are five different regions for their 4v4 league: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia, Australia/NZ (AUS/NZ) and South America (SA) There are also different skill-based divisions for the NA & EU leagues.

Map List for Season 19[edit]

Divisions[edit]

In the order of the highest skill division to the lowest:

  • Platinum - Top Tier. This division is for people considered to be at the top of their game. This division arguably requires the most time, dedication, coordination, and skill to compete in.
  • Gold - 2nd Tier. This is for people who have a lot of competitive experience and a high skill level with a desire to get better at the game.
  • Silver - 3rd Tier. This is for people who can list more than a couple seasons of experience and who are more committed to the upward path towards Gold/Platinum.
  • Steel - 4th Tier. The first "skill tier." This is for people with a little competitive experience or to people who have at a couple of seasons under their belt.
  • Iron - 5th/Bottom Tier. Entry-level aimed at players with no prior competitive experience. Considered a "special case" division.
