USL Map Breakdown — Current Schedule (W7 = EC)
Dead Squad: EC 4 | UD 3 | KR 3 = 10
Bugs: EC 5 | UD 2 | KR 3 = 10
American Eagle: EC 5 | UD 3 | KR 2 = 10
Do the DEW: EC 5 | UD 3 | KR 2 = 10
Care Package: EC 4 | UD 3 | KR 3 = 10
Click Clack Pow: EC 5 | UD 2 | KR 3 = 10

League totals: EC 14, UD 8, KR 8
Average/team: EC ≈ 4.67, UD ≈ 2.67, KR ≈ 2.67

Side-by-Side Comparison — Current (W7 = EC) vs Proposed (W7 = KR)

Team | Current EC/UD/KR | Proposed EC/UD/KR
-----------------|------------------|-------------------
Dead Squad | 4 / 3 / 3 | 3 / 3 / 4
Bugs | 5 / 2 / 3 | 4 / 2 / 4
American Eagle | 5 / 3 / 2 | 3 / 3 / 4
Do the DEW | 5 / 3 / 2 | 3 / 3 / 4
Care Package | 4 / 3 / 3 | 3 / 3 / 4
Click Clack Pow | 5 / 2 / 3 | 4 / 2 / 4

League totals
- Current: EC 14, UD 8, KR 8
- Proposed: EC 10, UD 8, KR 12

Takeaway: The Week 7 change shifts the split from EC-heavy
(5/2/3 for several squads) to a more balanced spread where every
team finishes 3–4 EC, 2–3 UD, 4 KR. It’s a simple one-week swap
that keeps the rest of the schedule intact while improving balance.

Summary & Proposal

First, I want to thank the USL administration — it’s clear a lot of
time and energy went into putting together this schedule and another
competitive season. We all appreciate the effort that makes this
league run smoothly.

Looking at the map distribution, the current schedule (with Week 7
on EC) leaves teams playing 5 EC, 2 UD, 3 KR in some cases. This
isn’t quite even. A perfect 4/3/3 balance is possible, but only if
Week 1 were different and a couple other weeks shifted — that would
mean reworking more of the schedule. I do have a version that
achieves that balance if the league ever wants to see it.

The simplest adjustment — and the one I’m proposing — is to change
Week 7 from EC to KR.
- It’s a single small change that leaves the majority of the schedule
untouched.
- It balances exposure better: every team ends up 3–4 EC, 2–3 UD, 4 KR.
- While not the perfect 4/3/3, it’s a clear improvement and adds
variety late in the season.

At the same time, I understand if the admins prefer to keep the
schedule as-is. EC is a fun, popular map and nobody will be upset
to play it more. This suggestion is simply offered in the spirit
of making things a little more balanced without complicating the
schedule.

Thanks again for all the hard work that goes into this — looking
forward to a great season no matter what!

TL;DR — Changing Week 7 from EC to KR is a simple one-week swap that keeps the schedule intact while improving balance: every team ends 3–4 EC, 2–3 UD, 4 KR instead of some squads stuck with 5/2/3.

USL Map Breakdown — If Week 7 = UD
Dead Squad: EC 3 | UD 4 | KR 3 = 10
Bugs: EC 4 | UD 3 | KR 3 = 10

League totals: EC 22, UD 22, KR 16
Average/team: EC ≈ 3.67, UD ≈ 3.67, KR ≈ 2.67

👉 Switching Week 7 to UD smooths out EC, but it pushes UD to the high side and keeps KR underrepresented.
👉 Switching Week 7 to KR is the cleanest path to balance (3–4 EC, 2–3 UD, 4 KR).

TL;DR — Current W7 = EC makes the season EC-heavy (5/2/3 for some teams).
Switching W7 to KR is the most balanced option: every team finishes 3–4 EC, 2–3 UD, 4 KR.
Switching W7 to UD instead makes the season UD-heavy (some teams 4 UD, only 2 KR).
KR is the cleanest fix — simple one-week swap for more balance.

Without getting into the weeds, I second the idea that the map scheduling could be a bit more evened out. I know this is very close to the season start, and I wish we could have looked at it when Molo first brought this up on Wednesday.

I said on Discord and I will say here too, I just can't wrap my head around a 5 2 4 map schedule when we should be able to do a 4 4 3 and have a more evened out result. Again, without going into the nitty gritty of classes and sides and all that, I don't think it being randomized is necessarily a great answer. In fact this situation seems like proof that the randomization can still yield some pretty lopsided results.

Obviously CCP will be as ready as we can be to play no matter what the map is, even if nothing changes at all. I very much appreciate USL staff and I know you guys put in work to make this happen and can't please everyone.

Tell someone who cares...

This information had already been brought to the attention of staff and deemed a non issue. It was posed by captains to make it the easiest to add a 4th map where each map is played twice, ignored non issue. It was also posed by captains to make it more even where it is not 4 weeks of EC and two of the other two maps, making it 3 weeks 3 weeks and one map at 2 weeks.

Their excuse? I told victim he is inactive and that he could not tell me what is a prevalent issue or not. Funny he showed up to actually sb after that exchange. I was deemed to be attacking and mean as I fought against the absolute garbage that was presented to us by the staff, that as has been so eloquently put we cannot just wrap our heads around why in the fuck we are playing a map 4 times this season vs 2 for the others.

Therefore, someone got their feelings hurt, has a booboo, and is still throwing a temper tantrum. Even after multiple captains, players etc have come forward and expressed HOW FUCKING STUPID THIS SHIT IS, USL H Staff continues to turn a blind eye and carry out their own prerogative regardless of input from anyone.

Multiple people from all different squads, backgrounds, etc all saying it is an issue...tell someone who cares.

Hi Molo!

Thanks for taking the time to type all this out. There has been some questions asked in our round table channel to review this topic.

We will keep everyone posted.

Dude is literally on Infantry every day, sbs frequently, and has been on active squads for like multiple seasons man. That can even be shown with staff awards and a Medic awards if you look at the awards page..

Saying he's inactive is just...weird..

Are you saying the captains were pushing for four maps and it was a staff decision to do it this way? It was explained before that the captains voted down all but three maps, so I am a little confused. Obviously our squad formed too late to be part of the discussion, which I totally understand.

No reason to be combative though, these chaps are volunteering their time to provide a league for a famously hard to please community.
