League Announcement Discussion

  • Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

    Join our community @ https://discord.gg/JuaSzXBZrk for a pick-up game, or just to rekindle with fellow community members.

I'll poke Relax to make an official update soon :]

An unofficial update - well things are going very well, albeit slowly and taking a lot longer than expected. We set ourselves a timeframe of 4-6 weeks to get a basic league system going. The specification has changed quite a bit, and 8 weeks on (ish) we have a more complicated system that initially anticipated and therefore more work to do to get it completed.

Work hasn't stopped on the league in the past couple of months. I've spent some weekday evenings solidly coding, and Relax has but in many many more hours than anyone else. So it would be better for him to give you an official update soon and let you all know when we might be ready to betatest and go live. :]

He could have done it 5 months ago but he's SO lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
First of all... Apoligies from myself, i shouldn't have kept you all waiting this long. I personally(nor any1 else) didnt expect this league to take this long. We've all spent as much time in this as possible, however this was not enough to finish it as quickly as we wanted it to be.

Second of all. The league is NOT inactive/dead. It isnt nor has it been since we announced it. It just has been going slower then we expected.

Where we stand now is that the league site is mainly finished when it comes to logical issues:
  • challenging
  • scheduling
  • match submitting
  • server reservations
  • clan signup
  • player signup
  • member management
  • league standings
  • match history
  • etc.

What still needs to be done is:
  • a small graphics "update". (/me pokes Rich)
  • The automatic server reservation system. (L0cky is working on the unreal code and i'm working on the client application. Like mentioned above the server reservation is already done on the league site)
  • testing (mainly to see if security is well in order ;) )
  • Rulings. We've had a rough idea what we wanted, now it's up to you. Within now and a few (max 2 i hope) days you will see several polls for you to decide on. Those polls will mainly give you the possibility to choose the exact ruling, which will ofcourse fit into the league system we've now created.

We are currently also looking for a few volounteers who are willing to spend time adminning this league. Please contact me if you are willing to be an admin in the new ut2k4 league.
If you're interested please contact me using irc(Relax - #sixth, #utassault,etc, icq(96760210), forum pm or email([email protected] ofcourse remove NOSPAM)

Right now.. it's bedtime for me. I'm tired and got to work tomorrow. I hope you can wait just a little while longer so we can get this going! :D
