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

Stopwatch maps are played in 2 or 3 separate match-rounds, both teams attack once in each match-round.
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, then Team B attacks and Team A defends.
Match-round 2: Team B attacks and Team A defends, then Team A attacks and Team B defends.
Match-round 3 (if needed as a tiebreaker): Team A attacks and Team B defends, then Team B attacks and Team A defends.

When adding scores, each match-round won by a team counts as 1 point. The first team to win two match-rounds wins the match.

Overtime: If each team wins a match-round and scores are tied at 1-1, the third full match-round is played as a tiebreaker, with all the same settings as the first two rounds.

You must keep track of your scores manually.

Possible scores are 2-0 or 2-1.

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

Map Execution (for server operators only):
1. Authenticate to your server with rcon_password ( rcon_password myP4ssw0rd ).
2. Execute ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg from the developer console ( rcon exec ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg ).
3. Reload the map. This is necessary for sv_pure to take effect and for SourceTV to start recording ( rcon changelevel yourmaphere ).
4. Re-execute the ugc_HL_stopwatch.cfg to start a fresh log file and make sure everything is in order.

GameServers is sponsoring UGC this season. We requested 5 Tokyo and 5 Hong Kong servers. Hong Kong will be open when GameServers has it available. HL and 6s can use these servers for matches and scrims. IPs and link are posted in the profile group.
