Sorry everyone, no AM or HD radio support!

With our tradition of new releases on Sunday, I'd like to announce support for FM matches on the Leagues United website and some other nice improvements.

Player Stats

With the addition of FM match tracking, we have begun to keep track of player stats in both official and fun matches that will be available on each player's profile page. The stats available right now are the following:

• The number of matches they've played
• Win ratio
• Team caps per match
• Activity

Match Filtering

On the Matches page, we've added a new option to filter between Official and Fun matches for easy sorting. As before, clicking on the score will take you to a page with details about the FM such as, who played and what map they played on.

Match Details

By viewing the details for an individual match, you will now be able to see the file name for the replay and the map on which this match was played on. You will then be able to search for this file name on the respective replay server. This feature is available for all League United matches even prior to this announcement; this does not include archived GU or Duc replays.

In addition, for league cops and admins, the server of where the match took place is also available. Due to privacy settings, the server address is not made available to all players.

Map Stats

You will now be able to see just how many matches have occurred on a specific map; this feature will take into account both official and fun matches.

Q & A

Will fun matches prior to this announcement be added as well?
No, only FM matches going forward will be added.

I found an issue or something is broken, who do I tell?
Send a message to both alezakos and allejo on the BZFlag forums

We are not announcing the server. Check the server list to find the populated LU server. Assuming the majority of players come from NA, the server will most likely be a North American server but if there are more Euro players, then the server will be a Euro based server.

We were finally able to get the draft completed, and the teams are as follows:

kajo: alezakos, alpha-5H, Bullet Catcher, click click boom, Constitution, Contamination, EbErT, etigah, gorgomol, miro, Moto Unit, shivaboom, Shuist, Snake12534
damns3xy: ashvala, Black Mage, Coolby, Fear, Hogfish, klavier, krisfeidt, Krissitoff, luigifridini, Midas, Runruns, styx, titmouse, tox

Good luck, and see you there.

There was a hardware failure with the server that ran the Leagues United site. The site has been moved to a new server now, but I had to roll the system back to the 18th (from early morning UTC time) as that was the last successful backup. If there were any matches that were not reported automatically, those would need to be manually reported. Also, any messages/notifications sent/received after the database snapshot from the 18th have been lost.

Leagues United is hosting a new all-stars event, but this time with a twist: instead of playing 3 straight games on the same map, they will be played on different maps. As things stand, the first two maps will be hix and ducati, and the final map will be chosen by the two captains.

Speaking of captains, the brave souls who have agreed to do it this time are kajo and damns3xy. Much thanks to them for the commitment.

The matches will take place July 30th, time 20 GMT. The selection will take place exactly a week before, July 23rd, time 20 GMT. Enter your callsign here to participate: http://poll.leaguesunited.org/survey/2

Much thanks to Constitution and alezakos for setting this all up!

Edit: The times have been added. If you are wondering what it is in your local time, I believe some people find Google to be very helpful...

P.S. As things look, we're not going to get much of a turnout, so you might as well sign up: it'll be your best chance to get to play.
