Casual Duel Cup 1
Casual Duel Cup is a 1on1 non-eliminating tournament meant for rookies and low/mid-skilled players. One can think of it as the Duel Edition of QuakeWorld MIX League.
Signups are to be approved by the admin - we want to limit the tournament to lower-skilled players, coming mostly from the QML ranks.
A non-eliminating tournament structure (Swiss) will be used. This means everyone gets to play the same amount of matches, even if one loses all their matches. 4 or 5 rounds of matches will be played, with a pace of about one match per week.
All matches are Game of 3 (GO3), this means if one player is leading 2-0 you still play one more map. This is to give rookie players more chance to get experience under pressure of "official" match. You're welcome and encouraged to play more games after the fact, but only the first 3 games count towards the tournament score.
The rarely played ZTNDM1 is included, as it is a really simple map which is very easy to learn but not played a lot. Use at your own risk and discretion.
