	Rules will be mostly the same as last season's. You can check them in the MLUP portion of this site, under the Rules link: http://www.prounreal.com/mlut/ Alot of things like team sizes, free agency, team numbers and a final schedule will only be 100% determined as the draft goes on, since they depend on how many people sign up. For clarity's sake, here are some of the rules that were discussed since MLUPI wound down: 1) All cheese will be allowed, but the worst stuff (rocket boosting mostly) will be frowned upon. Cheese is just too hard to police, so we can only encourage boost-free play and minimal cheese. There will be no forfeits or reprimands for cheese (boosting, flag dropping, pbjs) 2) Powerups will be off. That means no deemer, amp, keg, belt or vials. There will still be armor, pads and boots. 3) Maps will still be mostly non-ladder. There will be approximately 7 ladder maps to be played as tiebreakers for the weekly matches. The list will be finalized and posted soon. 4) All players can sign up for now, and personal invitations are highly encouraged. If you know someone who still plays UT often enough, and isn't a bastard, point them here by all means. We will be rooting out any major problem players, after discussion, during signups. 5) Teams have a 20 minute grace period after match start time. Anything more and the other team can request a forfeit if they so choose, or wait for them. If you don't have 5, its a forfeit, unless both captains agree to a 5v4. Worst case scenario, is if both teams can only find 4 players, in which case a 4v4 will be allowed. More available players and free agency should help in this matter. 6) The schedule will consist of the same 4 nights of the week as last season. This might be affected by players signups, but we'll see. So for now, if you can play once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and/or Sunday, you're good to sign up. If you can't, don't sign up or let people know so you can be picked up from the free agent pool when you can play. 7) This is an Unreal Playground event and all Unreal Playground rules of conduct apply. If you are or become banned from any Unreal Playground area (servers, forums, or IRC), you will be banned form MLUP for the same length of time. That's it for now. I'll be updating this with suggestions, comments, and admin discussions. We'll try to find a happy medium that screws over the least amount of people.

2. League Rules牋牋牋牋牋牋

2.1 Captain Duties牋牋牋牋牋牋
	Each captain will be responsible for: Naming his/her team Selecting his/her team through a draft Maintaining the team roster Setting lineups for each map Encouraging playing time for all members of their team Seeking out Teamspeak or a similar voice communications program if desired
2.2 Team Creation牋牋牋牋牋牋
	Each team will consist of 9 players. The draft order will be determined by captain's salary. Lowest to highest captain format will be used for each round. Each captain will draft one player from each different group, totalling 9 players total: 1 from each salary group. A captain may not draft a player from his own salary group.
2.3 Player Salaries牋牋牋牋牋牋
	All players will be listed with a corresponding salary based on rank. The Admins will each rank all players, and the average value will be used to determine salaries. While some under/over evaluations of players will naturally occur, taking the average should smooth that out.
2.4 Trading Players牋牋牋牋牋牋
	Players may be traded between teams only if the players being traded are within one salary group of each other. For example, Team 1 can trade a group B player to Team 2 for a group A, B, or C player, and vice versa. All teams MUST keep their rosters filled at 9 players, and trades will be allowed up until 1 hour before match time.
2.5 Scheduled Matches牋牋牋牋牋牋
	Matches will be played on a set schedule, which can be viewed in the "Schedule" section of this website. Teams unable to field a full team of 5 players at 20 min. after the match starting time has expired will forfeit the first map. Teams unable to field 5 players 15 min. after that time will forfeit their second map, forfeiting the match. There will be no rescheduling of regular season or playoff matches. If both captains agree, a map may be played 5v4 or 4v4. No 3v4 or 3v3 games will be allowed.
