*4on4 - cup based on one single map at a time. For example, the first event focuses on Schloss, after that dm2, dm3 and e1m2 follow. The team that gets most points (awarded after each event completes) wins the QW Eternal 2024 title.
*4 games for every clan, a preliminary round may take place if there is more than 16 clans signed-up. The winners of the first round go to Playoffs A, losers go to playoffs B.
*The event may start with a preliminary round if there are more than 16 teams signed up, for example with 19 teams signed up, team seeded 14th is to play team seeded 19th in the preliminary round, etc. The winners of the preliminary round qualify to the main tournament.
*All games in the first round are Best of 3, the rest is Best of 5.
*All games must be reported with screenshots and mvd demos.
*All games will be streamed by the most prominent QW streamer {{player|sebi|flag=pl}} 
*After the Schloss cup is over, points will be allocated before the next cup (e1m2 in September) begins. Here's point allocation system for a knockout tournament with classification matches:

Signups for the next maps has not yet opened.

== Rules == 
* '''No fake rule:''' To make the stats valid and accountable for the Śniegowy bot, you MUST NOT change team or your ingame nickname you were registered with during the tournament! That is very important for the bot to work properly.

* '''Cup:''' Clans will be seeded and placed in a playoff tree, all based on secret votes by all captains. If there is a tie in points, the admins will decide. If there are more clans than 16 to participate, a preliminary round among bottom seeded clans will be played. All clans will play 4 matches. There are no divisions, all clans are welcome to play, however, if a div3 clan is to play a div1 clan, they can "throw the towel" and give WO. This can be done only once in the whole event. Clan division assumptions are taken from the last EQL cup.

* '''Match procedure:''' First round games are Bo3, all other games are Bo5.

* '''Maps:''' SCHLOSS (May 2024), e1m2 (September 2024), DM2 (October 2024), dm3 (November 2024).

* '''Server settings:''' Standard settings set by command /4on4. A "QW ETERNAL" tag is highly recommended for ease of pausing the game. Each team can pause the game maximum 3 times per game (not per map!)

* '''KTX version:''' All games must be played with the KTX version installed NOT OLDER than 1.41. Otherwise, the demo and stats will not be parsed correctly. To check it, type /serverinfo in the console and look for "ktxver" in the response.

* '''Reporting:''' Report the game with screenshots and mvd demos in #reports-games on QWEternal discord

* '''Clans and players:''' State your lineup when signing up. A player can no longer play in more than 1 clan as multiclanning is forbidden. Faking and changing the nickname is also forbidden for the sake of the Śniegowy bot - you must play under the same name you are listed during signups.

* '''Points allocation:''' points will be allocated before the next cup begins. Here's the point allocation system for a knockout tournament with classification matches:

Champion: 32 points
Runner-up: 28 points
3rd place: 24 points
4th place: 20 points
5th place: 18 points
6th place: 16 points
7th place: 14 points
8th place: 12 points
9th place: 10 points
10th place: 8 points
11th place: 6 points
12th place: 5 points
13th place: 4 points
14th place: 3 points
15th place: 2 points
16th place: 1 point

Summary of points added up from all cups will determine the Eternal Champions.

==Ping==
* The primary driver for server selection is to find a server where the teams have similar average pings (+/- 2ms) and to minimize that average.
* The pings should be the most even for the two teams and measures like cl_delay_packet or proxy rerouting to balance pings should be employed. A team with a higher average ping than their opponent on a given server may request the opponent to do this (or change server to somewhere with lower average ping).
* Matches must be played on EU servers.
* Antilag 2 is the default option. However, if a team requests antilag 1, the other team should comply. To check the currect antilag version, type /serverinfo when on a server. To change antilag, type /antilag in the console.
* Servers that are providing significant packetloss that cannot be avoided by proxy rerouting should generally be avoided unless both teams agree to play there.
* If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final and refusal to play on a server designated by neutral admins will be considered a WalkOver loss.

==Server Settings==
* Timelimit: 20 minutes
* Overtime: 5 minutes
* Deathmatch mode: 1
* Teamplay mode: 2
* Spawn mode: KTX2
* Powerups: ON
* Discharge: ON
* Airstep: OFF
* Antilag: 1 or 2, if there is a dispute between teams then 1 should be used
* Fallbunny: ON
* Teamoverlay: OFF
* No berzerk, midair, instagib or other unusual modes.
* If a team requests /nospecs, the other team is obliged to comply.
