The UWL came north of the border this year:

Does anybody want to compete next year? Prices seem comparable to what Canadian Carnage costs and we could see how we stack up to the competition.

looks like speedball but in the woods lol

Why? If you mean it's because they try and balance the layout, then maybe. But if that's your only requirement to call some mode speedball then that's a pretty broad stroke you've got. Note that it says the layout should be balanced. It doesn't require it be mirrored as I understand it. Other than that the scoring is completely different than the flag cap method of the XBL, NPPL, or PSP.

IV. Scoring
23. Points
23.01 Scoring for all games will be conducted on a time based point system and will be awarded as follows:
- a team will be awarded 1 point for every minute an objective flag has been swung to a team’s color
- a team will be awarded 1 point for every minute the teams base flag stays on a team’s color
- A team will be awarded 15 points if it pulls its opponents base flag the first time. Each team can only score this once per game.
- a team will be awarded 3 point for every minute the team’s opponents base flag is swung to a team’s color
- a team will be awarded 4 points for capture of center objective

23.02 Points are awarded at the conclusion of the game by the Head judge.

23.03 individual points will be awarded as follows
- Home Base pull 15 points
- Swing base pull 7 points
- Center objective 9 points
- Win 2 points
- Loss 1 point

First flag pulls were common in early 'sup ball, but they've done away with it now in all the leagues.

19. Flags 19.01
There will be four total flags on the playing field. Two of these flags will be Objective flags and will start the game a neutral color unless handicapped. One flag will be the team home base and will start the home teams color. One will be the opponent’s base and will start the opponents color. The flags will consist of a pole with two flags of opposing colors attached to a rope.

19.02 An objective or base shall be considered captured as when that team’s flag color is in the top position on the pole.

19.03 Each field will also include a center objective. This is a onetime item left at the center of the field so that both teams have equal chance of recovery. The Center objective will not be hidden. Center objective is worth 11 points.(New for 2013. no rejuve will be awarded for center objective

Flag focus with control zones? That's pretty woodsbally to me. If anything, I think one would view it as "scenario-y" more-so than speedball.

plays its first game 4.07 Each team must have 1 Captain, 1 Scout (leaves 10 seconds Early) 1 Heavy Gunner( gun can shoot any rate of fire in any mode) and 1 Sniper (Must use pump gun or any marker with 20 round Gravity feed). The scout starts the match 10 seconds before the rest of the team. This is only at the start of a match not at the start of each period

Classes, rockets, re-insertions, control points......it has much more in common with that IMO.

It would, basically, give us a chance to see how we actually stack up against other scenario teams. I would imagine 5 man would be easiest for us to pull off.

That sounds like a whole lot of fun.

I think we should go for it.
