Draft, will be updates shortly
The Swedish Championship (Svenska Mästerskap) of Quake was a LAN tournament held at Café Nine in Stockholm from the 19th to 21th of September 1997. It was supposedly the biggest Quake-event in Europe this year.
Summary
Quake SM '97 was open to everyone wanting to participate. About 200 as expected to show up, though how many did turn up in the end is not known. As the tournament was held on Café Nine, every player had identical computers and hardware to make it as fair as possible. The tournament results were presented online as they happened, and all matches were recorded. Two big screens in the tournament rooms showed the finals and other importants game live to the audiences there. The tournaments started at around 19.00-20.00 in the evening and was classic, all-nighter-LANs.
Friday was the deathmatch tournament, with six players played simultaneously on each map trying to get as many frags as possible. Sunday was clan match day. Saturday was supposed to be duel day, but the tournaments were took many hours longer than planned, and the 1on1 tournament was canceled.

Results
Deathmatch Hobbex reported the following: «The DM part is now over and done with. Doomer won (true to his habit) and Okkun trailed by just one frag, Mr Kill by just two. To call the final a thriller would be an under-exaggeration, it was truly amazing. I had expected the final to be close, but not that close. We held count, and it was in the last minute that Doomer took the frags that put him above Kill and Okkun after a terrible performance on e1m2. I guess some people are born winners :-). All I can do is congratulate everybody.»
