Season 1, Week 4 Recap - by Nathan Hale - 26/07/2010
Season 1, Week 4 Recap:
Week 4 was the first playoff week for BGU. Three matches were played, including a Title Shot and a Title Match. Bro Clan defeated BGM in a Title Match to become the first BGU weekly title holders. However they promptly went inactive after the match. This leaves the field for Season 1 wide open to the other teams. The team with the most weekly titles will be the Champion of Season 1.
SS defeated OWN in the Title Shot to earn a spot in the coming Title Match.
Also of note, SS Gamefaces have reactivated and reentered the league.
Be on the lookout for the schedule for the next round of matches and the next edition of the BGU Power Rankings Bot in the next couple of days.

BGU Power Rankings Bot Operational - by Nathan Hale - 20/07/2010
Whereas BGL had a "Predictions Bot", BGU now has a Power Rankings Bot.
A Power Ranking is an informal analysis of each team's performance and upcoming prospects. The Rankings will rate teams from top to bottom based on their records, their dominance (or lack of), etc.
The idea is to provide a fun diversion providing a little "bullshit factor" into the league. It has NO BEARING on actual rankings in terms of who is winning. Rather it's just a little hot air to add an interesting element, like the BGL Predictions Bot did.
BGU Season 1 Week 3 - by Nathan Hale - 15/07/2010
Week 3 News:
-the schedule is up: we have 3 matches this week.
-2 teams have gone inactive, 1 team has joined. Please welcome [BGM] to the league.
-Week 3 is the final week of pool matches. After this we will have 5 weeks of "playoffs". The playoff system is just like BGL, with a "Title Shot" and "Title Match". The team with the highest number of Title Match Wins at the end of the 5 weeks is "Champion" of Season 1.
-Where each team starts on the playoff ladder is determined by their record from Weeks 1 through 3. So week 3 is your last chance to improve your record to get a good seed for the playoffs. Good luck.

Files section and bg_ambush_bgu - by Bot01 - 14/07/2010
A new page has been created containing BGU related files available to download. You will see the "Files" link in the menu bar on the left.
I have added the coming weeks map to the section. Remember to place the config in the cfg directory when you upload it to your server.
Weeks 2 and 3 - by Nathan Hale - 10/07/2010
Week 2 of BGU will take place on Sunday July 11 at 9:00 PM Eastern. The map will be bg_maricopa. This is the standard Maricopa map everyone is familiar with.
Week 3 of BGU will be on Sunday July 18 at 9 PM Eastern. The map will be bg_ambush_bgu.
Ambush_bgu is the same as regular Ambush, except that in the BGU version a single person can UNCAP the flags by touching them. Standard Ambush requires an actual cap of the flag to flip it. BGU version allows a single player to flip a flag the other team has taken. The majority of clans responding to inquiry voted to change to the "1 person flip" version this past week. Several teams did not respond, but those that did overwhelmingly voted to do a "1 flip" version.
That Ambush_BGU will be played 7/18/10. The structure of the map is no different than regular Ambush.
Week 2 Schedule Up - by Nathan Hale - 07/07/2010
The schedule for week 2 is up. Matches will be 9 PM Eastern on Sunday. We have 3 matches and a bye for OBCD. We do have one slot open. If you want your clan to join, please contact me or a BGU Rep. We will get you slated against OBCD for Sunday, if you contact me before the weekend.
