History
A number of figures in the highlander community were playing with the idea of having classlimit 1 in 6v6 to force the usage of situational classes in competitive. This eventually led to the Challenge Cup in late 2016, a cup with $2000 USD in prizes wich was meant to be 6v6 but was changed to 7v7 in the last minute. Sigafoo would later create RGL a league specifically aimed at 7v7 that unlike most other community leagues would have prize money. It had a prizepool of $4000 USD in its opening season wich attracted many high level [[ESEA-Invite] players to the league.

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.
