AAPG Boot Camp Season 2 Registration Now Open

January 7, 2019

shane


After feedback from Season 1 we have adjusted how Season 2 will play. We have increased the match size to 7 v 7 and roster size to 32 players. One of the biggest changes will be the best of 3 matches. Many of our players have asked for this so here we go.
We are going to limit the teams to 24 with divisions of 6 to shorten the length of the league schedule. We will continue with the Sunday - Tuesday Schedule at 9pm central.
All of this is to eventually build up to a TacMap Tournament. We are getting everyone used to long schedules, so when you are recruiting be sure to talk about the need to endure through a schedule with several weeks.
Register for Season 2 today: https://urgentfury.link/AAPGBCSeason2
Be sure to spread the word too!!!

What is Call To Arms? 
Call To Arms is Stack Up's year-long donation drive that directly supports our mission of using the awesome power of gaming to support US and allied veterans and active duty service members around the world! Learn more about how YOU help the troops through Call To Arms by watching the video below!
Call To Arms allows all of us to come together and support the troops by doing the things we love: gaming! From hosting your own livestream on Twitch or Mixer and posting videos on Youtube, to hanging out for game night with some friends on the couch, you can support the troops in your own way! 
How does Call To Arms make a difference?
 
CALL TO ARMS powers the following Stack Up missions:
SUPPLY CRATES: Giant boxes of the latest in games and gear sent to combat zones, humanitarian missions, or troops recovering in military hospitals to raise morale, build camaraderie, combat PTSD, and fight the rising tide of veteran suicide.
AIR ASSAULTS: Flying deserving veterans to gaming and geek culture events such as Penny Arcade Expo, Comic Con, or E3.
 THE STACKS: Our local volunteer teams, coming together to support military personnel on bases and around their community.

Urgent Fury welcomes Patrick "Commander Fury" Gross back as Media Director and Co-Owner.

September 26, 2014

shane


Patrick's first tenure with the popular tournament community began in 2006, and lasted until 2012, when he left to create Battle Chatter Online with his colleague and friend Bill Lavoy (now of Prima Games).
In September of 2013, he joined the development team at SOF Studios where he served as UI & Audio Designer for the "H-Hour: World's Elite" proof of concept demo. Upon completion of the demo, he was approached by Urgent Fury with an offer to return and decided it was time for a homecoming.
Once again, he will oversee all branches of media including audio, visual, & social media. And says he has a desire to expand Urgent Fury's current model. "I think that it's no secret that Urgent Fury has struggled with its identity over the last few years…mainly because the industry has changed & evolved so rapidly. But I'm confident that we know what we need to do to adapt, and what we need to do to be sure that Urgent Fury is in step with the industry".
He also says he plans on resuming production of the community favorite podcast Urgent Frequency. "UFreq was such a huge part of what I did here at Urgent Fury, and I have every intention of making sure that's still the case moving forward. In fact, the plan is to expand the amount of media content overall".
Urgent Fury CIO Shane Bell says he's excited about Patrick's return. "He was the very first staff member at Urgent Fury, Patrick is Urgent Fury. He understands how the community was built from the ground up and what direction we need to be heading. As our newest Director and Co-Owner, he will have full creative control with where we are taking “UF�. Not only with regard to our tournament events, but Urgent Fury as a whole. We cannot begin to express our excitement with what the future holds".
