Match Procedure

Remember to set match-tag!
A copy-paste friendly map pool list for ingame chat:
dm2, dm3, e1m2, cmt4, schloss, phantombase, qube
(handy to paste in consol when banning/picking maps.)

dm2	dm3	e1m2	CMT4	Schloss	Phantombase	Qube
Group play No maps can be repeated You play three maps each match. Ban - Ban - Pick - Pick - Ban - Ban - Play. Highest seed bans first at scores 0-0 and 1-1. The highest seed picks first map after the first two bans are complete. At map score 2-0 the team at 2 map wins bans first. Final No maps can be repeated Maps and order are decided before the final is played. When group play is over; both teams picks maps with an admin on discord before the game is scheduled. Best of Seven (first to four wins) Winner of Group play picks first two maps. Teams then alternate with 2nd' place in group picking third.

Match Reporting

• The team that wins the match should report the match.
  
  • Reporting of the match is done through discord in #report-match by uploading screenshots.
    

Structure

• The tournament consists of x divisions - round robin structure for each.
  
• Each team plays each other once in a game of three(Go3) in standard league play.
  
• Two teams go to a final from each division.
  

Seeding

• Seeded divisions with team # pr div depending on skill lvl/signups/schedule
• All teams are publicly seeded(you can debate and feedback on seeding is encouraged) and are placed in divisions.
  
  

There is no fixed number of teams pr. division if there is a gradual skill decline in the seeded teams there will be 8/6 teams pr div.
If there is a sharp noticeable skill divide a div could have less teams.
Look to results of last few EQL(and cup) and QWSL results to have an indication where you will be seeded vs other teams. (if your line-up is identical.)

• Points are awarded based on match wins, 1 point per match win.
  

(Challonge treats points as FRAGS - ignore this for that site.).

• • If teams are equal in the table on match wins:
    

Then map difference + - (net maps) will separate the teams.
-If teams still can not be separated:
Then positions will be decided based upon their internal fight.
-If 3 or more teams are still equal and they have all beaten each other:
Then the map difference + - in those internal fights will decide.
If still equal:
-The frag difference in those internal fights decide.
If that is also equal:
-Then the total frag difference of all games decide.

Timeframe / Schedule rules

• One game a week, scheduled between teams.
• The deadline for each match is Monday morning each week.
• The schedule fixture is listed on the Challonge site.
  • Teams should make an effort to follow the match scheduling fixture before contacting other teams.

• IF you want admin help to resolve scheduling conflicts. Team communication has to be done in the #scheduling channel. Otherwise you risk matches being voided.
• Once a match has an agreed upon time - this needs to typed into the #fixture channel.
  

--

• If a team is idling or deemed by the admins to not be making an effort to produce the game it will be considered as if the offending team forfeits the match, and a Walk Over (WO) shall be awarded to the opposition.
• A Walkover will result in victory to the beneficiary, and 0 points to the offending team.

Team Restrictions / Stand-ins

The deadline for making changes to your team roster is 10:00 on the 28'th of August.

• Replacement of players in a squad can occur when a player in a squad no longer is able to participate.
  
  • The person replacing the squad member has to be approved by admins.
• No Stand-ins are allowed.

• • • The lowest division have less strict rules; players can be added and move between teams after tournament start, standins are also allowed. Everything has to be approved by admins when changes to normal rules are made.

Ping

• Choice of server should be suitable for both teams

• The pings should be the most even for the two teams and measures like cl_delay_packet to increase the fairness of a match are welcomed.

• Matches should be played in Europe; unless both teams agree to play elsewhere.

• The team A with highest average ping can require the other team B to ping up to the level of team A's lowest pinging player.

Only the best possible ping is accounted for. Using delay packet or rerouting to raise the ping of the lowest pinging player in order to force the other team to ping up more is NOT allowed.

• The maximum min-ping that can be required is 52ms.

• If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it.

Allowed clients

• ezQuake 3.6.6 or newer (the security breach has been fixed)
  • newer explained: You play with pre-releases, development releases and alpha and beta versions at your own and your teams risk - crashing mid game or otherwise being unable to play if you are playing on one of these: Is not a valid excuse for anything.

• unezQuake v1.3.2

If using unEzQuake: "F_ruleset check's must report CLEAR in ruleset check"

• • You MUST set scr_allowsnap 1
  • You MUST set tp_triggers 0
  • You MUST set allow_scripts 0
  • No jump automation and radar/inlay and no pink backpacks etc - Anything that changes gameplay aspects and graphical/hud aspects of unEZquake compared to ezQuake is BANNED in unEZquake.

Failure to setup your unEZquake install correctly will result in ban from tournament.

(just use ezQuake 3.6.6 and you're safe :)

Allowed rulesets / modifed

• Smackdrive, smackdown, qcon
• Players should do f_ruleset checks before game start. It is ultimately the responsibility of the players to perform this check, and in general, matches played with outlying rulesets will not be overturned if the players neglected to perform this duty. Where there is ambiguity, the decision will be decided by the Admins.

• f_Modified checks need to be OK - fix to prevent team disqualification.

Allowed proxies

• QWfwd
• Qizmo 2.91
  
  

Using disallowed clients/proxies might lead to points deduction or even a WO.

Scripting and cheats

Allowed

• cl_fakeshaft
• cl_idrive

NOT allowed

• Other movement scripts
• kfjump
• custom rocket jump scripts
• Any other kind of movement scripts
• Teamoverlay

• Skin changing depending on health/armour/weapon
• Custom models not allowed by f_modified
• Any kind of cheat (wallhack, aimbot, timers etc.)
• Hacked clients

• Different individual enemy skins
  
  

• If you know of any other exploit or cheat that is not listed here, that is also banned.

Failure to follow these restrictions can result in the player or team receiving harsh penalties such as, but not limited to:

• points deduction
• WO
• player disqualification
• team disqualification
• permanent ban.

Warnings and disqualification

• Two warnings will result in disqualification
  
  

Other offences

• Having one or several players intentionally drop from server during a game without replacing them
• Playing in more than one team, or playing under someone else's name in another team.
• Fakenicking to get into a division where you don't belong.
• Griefing, flaming and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.
  
  

Server problems after match start

• If any problems occur, first pause the game and evaluate the situation with your opponents and work together to find out what you both think is the most reasonable resolution of the game status. You're agreement overrides the rules: and so communicate with eachother to work it out.

Otherwise:

• The current map should be played to the end, no matter the servers condition
• In case of a disconnected player.
  

teams should pause the game, by team captain asking admin status, all players should concede it fast and elected admin player should type ""pause"". (OR REMEMBER MATCHTAG<3) 

Teams should wait maximum 10 minutes for a replacement player, after that if the disconnected player or replacement is not back into the server, game must resume.

• The player that can replace a disconnected player is themselves or a member from the same team.

Server Settings

• Timelimit: 20 minutes
• Overtime: 5 minutes if match is a draw
• Deathmatch mode: 1
• Teamplay mode: 2
• Spawn mode: KTX2 Respawns
• Powerups: ON
• Discharge: ON
• KFjump: Toggled OFF (command = tkfjump)
• Airstep: OFF
• Jawnmode: OFF
• Antilag (or equivalent): ON (unless both teams agree to play without it.)
• Fallbunny: ON (if server allows)
• No berzerk, midair, instagib or other unusual modes.
• If a team requests nospecs-mode, the other team is obliged to comply.
  
  

These should be the basic 4on4 settings on all modern servers, but make sure to check if you are unsure.

Tidbits!

• The lowest div will have flexible rules when it comes to most things to get games played :)
