Map Rules:
The winning team is the first to best 2 TOTAL match-round wins out of 3 match-rounds.

Payload maps are "stopwatch" maps.
Stopwatch maps are played in 2 (or sometimes 3) separate match-rounds where each team attacks once in each match-round.
Each match-round awards one (1) match-point to the team with the shortest offensive time.
The Home team has choice whether to attack first or defend first in the first match-round only, alternate thereafter.

Match-round 1:
Team A attacks and Team B defends,
Team B attacks and Team A defends.

Match-round 2:
**Teams manually switch sides.
Team B attacks and Team A defends,
Team A attacks and Team B defends.

Match-round 3 (if needed as a tiebreaker):
**Teams manually switch sides again.
Team A attacks and Team B defends,
Team B attacks and Team A defends.

Scoring: When adding scores, each match-round won by a team counts as 1 point. The first team to win two match-rounds wins the entire match.
Overtime: If each team wins a match-round (scores are tied at 1-1), a third full match-round is played as a tiebreaker, with teams alternating sides one more time.
** If the config is not manually re-executed, it will automatically switch teams to the correct side at the start of the round, which is why you need to manually switch sides before the start of the next match-round.

You must keep track of your team's total score manually each round.

Possible scores are 2-0 or 2-1.

Remember to execute the correct config for this match: ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg

Shooting into spawn, including from the Jenkin sign area, are both illegal:

Server Operators:
1. Authenticate to your server with rcon_password ( rcon_password p455w0rd ).
2. Execute ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg from the command line ( rcon exec ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg ).
3. Reload the map. This is necessary for SourceTV to start recording and for sv_pure to take effect ( rcon changelevel pl_upward ).
4. Re-execute the config to start a fresh log file ( rcon exec ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg )
5. Match Over: Perform step #1, then "rcon exec ugc_off.cfg" to hault Source TV, to save the server log file, and to reset your server to it's normal default server.cfg at map change with your normal server Settings.

* Side-note: Please log into your server provider's control panel and ensure "sv_pure" is set to "2". You may experience some technical difficulties if this is not done, not to mention sv_pure is required to play official UGC matches.


Note to Leaders:
1. Post the match scores if you are the winner.
2. Post the results as soon as possible after the match has been successfully completed.
3. If you or your opponent cannot play at the default time, you are allowed to play your match at an earlier time. If you need to play your match later in the week, you need an admin/manager approval first.

Good luck to all teams!
