Due to several crashes and other issues with survival time being a flawed way of judging the tournament, changes will be made but first of all, congratulations to Bogojoker for achieving the best survival time of 3692.2 seconds (1 hour, 1 minute, 32 seconds)!

The new format will be as follows:

Instead of survival time, you will be judged by score and in order to make the tournament accessable to all, regardless of how much free time you have, there will be a timelimit of 10 minutes.

A "current leaderboard" is viewable over on the Wikipedia page!

The rest of the rules remain exactly the same.

As we conclude sdCup#1, why not get right at it and announce sdCup#2? Let's talk about it!

sdCup#1 was a great success. Obviously we had a lot of walkovers in the very first round which is to be expected in a one day tournament, but all the big guns showed up and we got to see gt dethrone the amazing run that Locust had throughout 2020. LocKtar got the 3rd place finish, earning him some beer money. Huge thanks to Dopeskillz and Alice for the help with organizing the tournament! But there's more to come friends, read on...

Welcome all fellow Quakers!

We would like to announce and invite you the one and only, very kurwa-specific QW LAN Party In Poland. The fragfest will take place on 11-14th November 2021.

New 2on2 tournament starts January 17: Ride My Rocket

I think we can all agree that we want to leave 2020 behind and breathe the fresh air of 2021 and what better way to do that than to introduce a premier duel tournament to kick off the new year?

sdCup#1 will be a one or two day tournament, depending on signups, and will have a prize pool of $2,000.00 USD. It is a world wide tournament and everyone is allowed to sign up.

It's been a long ride with lots of amazing games between Nations from all over the world. It's time to close the book on 2020 and summarize a few of the things that we got to see this very odd year.

Do you remember what happened earlier this year? I feel like everything has been about Covid-19 and understandably so, but for QuakeWorld it was a blessing in disguise. Lockdowns in different countries allowed for more Quake to be played and we've had an insanely active year with tournaments left and right, so let's summarize some of the things that we got to witness!

Seasons greetings Quakeworld fans.We are happy to announce that the Hammer Time duel league will be returning in January.

An initiative was taken by Doomie to start a Discord server dedicated to learning the art of QuakeWorld 4on4. The thought is to gather low level players and have both active coaching (in-game, usually on Thursdays) and passive coaching (demo reviews etc) after pickup games in order to improve more rapidly compared to fragging in the dark on one's own.

Low level players with little to no experience in QW4on4 are welcome to join. If you can't join in on the coaching sessions, then there's always the possibility to hang around, soak up any written info or watch VOD's and join the odd pickup games on other days instead.

If you aren't in the target group yourself, perhaps you know someone who is? In that case, do yourselves a favor and get your friend a free Bachelor of QW 4on4 for Christmas by directing them to this excellent resource.
