TOW-19 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 UF Community..... As you all know by now with our last announcement, UF: BLACK is graduating from the evaluation tourney of Urgent Fury to its own year-long standings tourney. It done growed up and moved to the big city! Because of that, many of you asked how UF would continue to evaluate new clans coming in to the community before they get the privilege of playing in our established contests here. The answer is simple: there will be a new evaluation tourney. We've come up with a pretty snazzy name for it too...... UF: EVAL ;D The new UF: EVAL tourney will be for all new incoming clans who wish to become a part of this Urgent Fury community. There will be an EVAL tourney for every game that UF gives a tournament treatment to. The UF: EVAL will run for 3 weeks with matches every Tuesday and Thursday at 9pm CST. The matches will be 7v7. They will remain NO-BOOM and there will be no playoffs. The goal here is simple. There is no "glory" for "winning it all" here in this UF: EVAL tourney. The tourney is for the sole purpose of its namesake...it's an evaluation of all new clans and whether or not they will be accepted into the UF community. With UF: Black taking a year-round rotation, as well as other tourneys like the TACMAP, Ronin, Horsemen and other contests going on, one may wonder how these new clans will get evaluated when everyone else is embroiled in all the other action UF has to offer. And the answer is: UF EVAL TEAMS. We would like to a team/roster of 18 UF veteran players to commit to being a part of a UF: EVAL Team. That's 18 players total who will comprise the team that will have first-hand knowledge of the new clans coming in and can evaluate them right in the field, on opposing sides. The 18 players can be from all the various clans of the UF community. There will be no unifying tag or anything, so clans need not worry that one of their players may be sporting different colors. There will be a team of 18 so that if some of the players have another UF war that night, there will be adequate numbers to fill in the gaps for a 7-man team for the night. We believe 18 great players from the UF Community itself will be an appropriate welcome to any clan looking to find out what UF is all about. ANY UF player from a participating UF clan may submit an application to be a part of this. We just ask that anyone submitting an app have the approval of their clan leader(s) first. By submitting an app, we are assuming you have this clearance already, as we will not be checking in on individual players and their clans. * Please note, Urgent Fury will be giving first consideration to all players in the UF: RANGER program who wish to submit an app. Call it a perk for the extra effort they give here in the Community. After that, all apps that we receive will be put into a random drawing and those lucky enough to be drawn will fill in the spaces, if any, left by the UF: Rangers. THERE WILL BE A NEW EVAL TOURNEY, NEW TEAMS AND A NEW DRAWING EVERY EVAL TOUR! So if you don't get picked the first time, keep submitting. Again, those who wish to participate will be thrown into a random draw. Each new batch of new clans is a new opportunity for you to be a part of the UF Eval Team. If you, as a player, are interested in this prospect, please cut-n-paste the following form onto a PM, fill it out, and send it to me, Undertow. We will accept applications up until 12-17-08. I will then hold the drawing to find out which players here in UF will comprise the 1st UF: EVAL Team for January. Thanks for reading and we hope you wish to be a part of the "screening" process here for the UF: EVAL. We can think of no one better than the committed players of UF themselves to evaluate those who wish to come play in their home away from home! - TOW ____________________________________________________ If you are interested in being a part of the UF: EVAL Team, please cut-n-paste the following form, fill it out, and send it as a PM to Undertow. Online player name: Clan Affiliation: Have you COMPLETED at least one complete tourney here at UF?: Do you admit that you have your clan leader(s) expressed approval to join?: Will you make yourself available more to than not during the time period of your tourney?: (We cannot have a team of 18 players who don't show up) Will you promise to keep it in your pants where it belongs?: Quote
CpDude05 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Sounds awesome. I;m sorry, but the last question tow. Just made me spit up my Dr. Pepper on my screen. Quote
RawTaLenT-- Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I thought the perk of winning black was an automatic spot in the tac map? So this will be taken out of the up coming "EvaL" tournaments? Quote
at3dave Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 What is the UF : Ranger thing? And.. I'd like to be involved.. awaiting response from my clan's command. Quote

Urgent Fury Ranger program is a select few members from the UF Community. Our main goal is to get out to other clans and spreading the word about Urgent Fury. I think a few went and passed out fliers and hung up fliers around their area. Quote

Peebrain Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 I have one quick question. Can UF Veteran clans participate in the Eval tournies if needed as a little extra practice??? I only ask this because I foresee a problem with like only 3 new clans applying for the eval tourny and instead of making them wait forever to fill an eval bracket, we can throw some Vet clans in there to give them a real taste of UF and so we can get more evaluation done on them. Quote
TOW-19 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Posted November 24, 2008 If a UF veteran clan wishes to participate in the UF:EVAL tourney, we would not discourage them. In these scenarios, however, new clans will always get first consideration in slot constraints, veterans second. Besides, we're scheduling '09 so that we have a very healthy and constant rotation of various tourneys happening at any given time. Quote
DK_MaluNYMets Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Is the UF Evaluation team only for socom or will be for other games? When you sign up you have to play all games or could be just one? Quote
TOW-19 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Every game treated here at UF will have its own EVAL team. So no, those participating will not be part of EVERY EVAL tourney going on. We don't want this to become a 'job' to the players that want to participate, only an extra privilege. And remember, we will be putting out new calls for new EVAL team with each month of Black, so there will be a rotation for those players who want to try it later down the line while giving those who are participating a chance to sit out whenever they like when/if their clan needs them focused on something else.

RNG187 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Goat ]You have no idea how long I had to think about asking Cpdude to join the Rangers... :-\ :-\ LOL. and how much do you regret it now? Quote
GOAT Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 No regrets RNG, heck I brought him in just to aggravate you and he's doing his job rather well. LMAO! Quote
TOW-19 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 BUMP We're still looking for a few great UF team players! Stay tuned TONIGHT for a special announcement regarding the future of the UF EVAL tourney, as that was a smokescreen name for the ACTUAL new evluation tourney coming to UF to replace UF: Black as Urgent Fury's evaluation process for new clans. We're still accepting apps from those who want to evaluate EVERY clan arriving at UF...in a very personal, in-your-face evaluation test. Compared to this new evaluation process, UF: Black as an evaluation tourney of the past will have proved to be a CAKE WALK. Soon, saying 'my clan belongs to Urgent Fury' truly WILL be a badge of honor worth mentioning, moreso than even now. News coming tonight. - TOW Quote
RNG187 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Goat ]No regrets RNG, heck I brought him in just to aggravate you and he's doing his job rather well. LMAO! yeah, he should get a promotion b/c he does that pretty damn well. Quote
