A couple minor updates to the default nQuake config has been made to fix the QTV API JSON error mentioned in another news post, as well as a couple teamplay improvements.

After an idea with good intentions and some chat/help from various persons, we did an effort to make this happen. And it did happen. As i write this, 17 teams (with 5 players each team + standins) have now gotten 1-2 games played. We are 1 game (that is going down tonight) short of all games played after 2 rounds and the schedule is on track...wich by qw-4on4-standards...is kind of awesome.

As recently announced, QHLAN 2019 will take place during 29 August - 3 September, 2019. For the first time ever, the event will be held outside of Sweden. Instead it is all going down in the beautiful city of Silkeborg, Denmark.

The website is now online, and registration is open.

As with the previous edition, there is yet again a crowdfunding campaign for the prize pool. While players with flair can look forward to contesting the Warzon trophy which is also making a return.

While the intention to keep this tournament every half of the year could not be fullfilled every time, yet this time we are happy to announce the new season Thunderdome 11 which starts 2019-03-17.

The registration is now open!

The rules this time are slightly different from the previous seasons. First of all the aim of the rules change is not only to provide the opportunity for everyone to play the most popular maps, but also to try the new, not fully studied duel maps, enabling players to challenge their skill in a fair competition on an unusual maps. This allows leveling of the field then the new players and veterans could have a fresh start and the results of the games are less predictable, making the tournament more exciting to follow.

The main changes in the rules are:

• One default map pool extended with new maps;
• Possibility to create the very unique own map pool if both players agree;
• For the first time using Discord for the scheduling of the games and communication between players.

For the details see the rules section.

The registration is open using the following link and will be closed 15th of March 2019. The admin team will perform division placements and creating the schedule and brackets on 16th, and the 17th the first games could be started.

We are welcome everyone regardless of the skill level to join and enjoy the tournament together with us!
