The freshly crowned QHLAN duel champion LocKtar was recently featured on the In The Keep podcast. Here he talked about his duel victory at QHLAN, the state of kenya maps in duel, his appetite for competitive QuakeWorld and finding his true love, prompting him to move into tVS country.

In The Keep is an ArenaFPS podcast hosted by TheMotherload.

Apart from the latest episode featuring LocKtar, the podcast has also had other notable QuakeWorld figures on.

Quakeworld 4v4 is back again and 83 players (+ additional standins) have been drafted into 16 teams by 16 captains over 2 divisions. The GetQuad discord server is "reset" and teams are ready to go.

This year it looks like the Thunderdome is able to keep a pace of 2 seasons per year.
We are happy to announce that the new season Thunderdome 12 is starting 2019-10-06.
The registration is open now!

Join our Discord server for more information and scheduling of the games. Alternatively one can find admins on IRC channel #Thunderdome QuakeNet server.

The rules for this season are similar to those in Season 11.

The main change from the Season 11 is the map pool. To facilitate the participation of the new players, the last traditional QuakeWorld map dm4 was removed from the main pool. It is still possible for both players to form their own map pool if both players agree and therefore form a custom pool. Additionally the new map The Catalyst is introduced into the main pool. Administration hopes these changes will make the participation more active from the new coming players.

The registration is open using the following link and will be closed 5th of October 2019. The admin team will perform division placements and creating the schedule and brackets on 5th, and the 6th the first games could be started.
We are welcome everyone regardless of the skill level to join and enjoy the tournament together with us!

After 83 signups we are ready for the pre-season main event: The Draft!

We are ready for another Quakeworld 4on4 Draft Cup: Season 2. Signups are live and we are counting 24 signups since the signups opened last night.

With QHLAN over and server activity starting to pick up again it is time for Quakeworld season to kick off once more. And here at HammerTime HQ we have been hard at work over the summer break putting together not just one but two new tournaments for the autumn/winter period.

If anyone missed it, we're at day 2 of QHLAN 2019, the first day went with 2on2, today is duel and tomorrow we'll have a 4on4 draft tournament.
