    The competition is divided in two stages, FFA-Qualifier e and Single-Elimination stage.

    FFA-Qualifier Stage
    In this stage all contestants will be playing tree FFA-matches where points are amassed depending on what placing you get. The top eight players of the qualifier will go to the next stage.

    • 1st place gives 5 points.
    • 2st place gives 3 points.
    • 3rd place gives 2 points
    • 4th-8th place gives 1 points.

    In case there are few contestents this stage may be dispensible as everyone will tie in for the Elimination but this will be played nonetheless, for fun and to get into the competitive mood!

    Single-Elimination Stage
    After the prior stage the semi-finals and finals will be played out in Duels, where the top 1st player will meet the 8th, 2nd the 7th and so on.
    Three maps will be played where the player with most points picks the first map, randomize if even.

    • If you lose a match, you're out.
    • Finals are played off in best off five.

    How is a match played?
    Each match will be a best of three maps in the game mode Duel where one map takes 10 mins to play. A contestant will create a game and invite the other via their Friends list.

    Game Setup

    • Players take rounds in picking map. If you are even in points, randomize who will pick first.
    • All weapons are on except BFG, in other words - no item farming.

    How do you report results in the Single-Elimination?
    Each player MUST post here or in a PM to me with the match results, or at least both players need to make a post that verifies the results . In example:


    Sjonsson vs SpronyJohnson, September 5th.

    Map #1: SpronyJohnson won.

    Map #2: Draw.
    Map #3: Sjonsson won.

    Display More

    That said, do not post the amount of points you got. This will be done for you.

    First off, I pinned this. Secondly, I was hoping for FFA because I suck at Duel

    However, l'm down for anything. The above does seem too complicated, especially considering the different time zones. But let's hear what the others have to say first.


    We used to have a competition every Sunday. We picked a time which was doable for everyone (some had to play in the morning, others in the afternoon, etc). Then we had a map selection and we played for an hour or so taking screens of the results after each match to determine the overall winner. Just a thought.

    Haha, yeah I thought it would be a little too complicated. We could totally change it to whatever game mode, I just want a competition going matter what!

    I guess if we want just to do a quick and simple tournament I think we should do it your way!

    FFA is fine with me, maybe do this first to see how we get on then maybe do Duels another time/after?

    Yeah, that's probably for the best. Start small!

    I'd prefer duel, if not clan arena is also awesome.

    Yeah they deleted my account too, but in one way that's good. Now I can't compare myself to my former quake-self to see how sucky I am today.

    It is but it does look prettier and it's much easier to play with each other. You can't expect everyone to buy or reinstall vanilla, have someone setup a server, etc.

    So I've been thinking a bit.

    Let's say we remove the whole Pool stage and have an FFA-qualifer where the top 6-8 players will meet eachother in Elimination or Double-Elimination duels?


    Nice to see so many people interested!

    Yes, but with the original game settings and not this load out bullshit that completely ruins the experience (I've played several matches and it really kills the game). Nothing wrong with the noob friendliness but now there's no reason to pick up new weapons or move around. I actually encountered campers yesterday. Seriously, campers in Quake????

    Well, sure I have no probs with no weapon farming. The original settings include them though, but that doesn't matter!

    I changed the competition so that there is no Pool Stage.

    We will simply play it off in FFA and then have some duels going on with Single-Elimination (Best of three, if you lose a match, you're out.)

    Are we good now?

    Also, camping in Quake is just stupid!

    I think it's superior in every way, they implemented all the mods people were using back in the Q3 days in one nice and neat package. Play QL for a bit then try to go back to Q3, you can't.

    I totally, a lot of things are just more user-friendly. Especially finding servers you'd like to play on.
