Tournament Medal - UGC Highlander
The UGC Highlander tournament medals are a group of medals awarded in Genuine quality to players who participated in the Highlander tournaments conducted by the UGC TF2 league.
Currently, UGC Highlander is in its 41st season and throughout the years it has had different medal designs. The only seasons thus far without represented medals are the pilot seasons, 1 & 2, and the short summer seasons, 4, 7 and 10 that didn't have any playoffs.
- The Season 3 medal is a shield with wings held up by a red, blue and black ribbon. On the shield it has the words "UGC Highlander 2011", the division, and the placement.
- The Season 5 medal takes the likeness of a chalice with wings, a common shape for sporting trophies, with the words "UGC" displayed in the middle.
- The Season 6, 30-31 medal is a sort of plaque that has "UGC" printed on it. Underneath is a symbol that changes dependent on the rank: 3rd place has one star, 2nd place has three stars and 1st place has 3 stars and a banner that goes across them.
- The Season 8, 28-29 medal is a star with a horseshoe shape on it. Within the horseshoe shape is the roman symbol for either 1 (
I
), 2 (II
) or 3 (III
) depending on the team ranking. - The Season 9, 21-23 medal is a shield shape with wings on it. On the shield itself there is a TF2 logo and a banner with two stars on it. All medals share this design with the exception of the Platinum one which features an airplane model with animated propeller.
- The Season 11, 19-20 medal has a TF2 logo with a single wing containing the ranking of the season. All medals have this design except the Platinum ones that have the extra feature of a colored shooting star aura that goes around the medal.
- The Season 12-14, 26-27 medal depicts a rising phoenix with either 1, 2, 3 or * on it depending on the ranking of the team. All medals share this basic design, but the Platinum medals have the extra feature of rising fire behind the medal.
- The Season 15-18, 32-33 medal is a bewinged circle on which the team rank is written as a roman numeral (participation medals just have the TF2 logo instead). Underneath is "UGC" written in block letters and a red and blue ribbon.
- The Season 24-25 medal depicts a shield, plated with platinum, silver or steel, depending on the player's division, with "UGC" engraved on it above a varying number of stars, depending on the player's position in the tournament, which is connected at both sides to a team-colored strap.
The medals for Season 5, Season 6, Season 8, Season 9, and Season 11 were contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Notes
- The Platinum variants of the "Season 11, 19-20" medals are the only one that Paint Cans can be applied, all the other medals are either unpaintable or have its paintability left unused.
Unused content
- The Season 24-25 medals include an unused variant for an Iron Division, which is not used in either the Highlander, 4vs4 or 6vs6 formats. Alongside the textures, four backpack icons are included in the game files. Additionally, these variants are set up for paint to be applied.
- The textures for all medals for "Season 8, 28-29", "Season 9, 21-23" and "Season 24-25", alongside the non-Platinum variants of "Season 11, 19-20" and Platinum variants of "Season 12-14", are set up for paint to be applied, but the ability to do so is disabled.
Bugs
- The medals for the 11th, 19th and 20th Season has problems rendering the translucent effects around the medal, causing it to flicker.
Trivia
- For the sixth season players who were awarded 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place medals were also awarded a Participant medal. Valve rejected the original models submitted, and the creator had to come up with another design in 2–3 weeks. The placement medals were unpolished and the design of them were slightly controversial.
