Servers

This is a world wide tournament, meaning you might have to play games on a higher ping than you're used to. Strive for fair pings, but use this as a general rule of thumb:

  • East coast NA vs EU = Ireland
  • West coast NA vs EU = New York
  • AU vs EU = India
  • AU vs NA = Los Angeles
  • BR vs AU = Los Angeles
  • BR vs EU/NA = Miami


If you can find a server with lower pings for both of you, I strongly suggest you use that one! This is just a general rule of thumb and not a requirement, however striving for as equal pings as possible is mandatory. Use cl_delaypacket to even out the pings up to a maximum of 155ms.

Rules

Start time

Saturday (and Sunday if needed), 23rd of January, 14:00 CET (8:00 AM ET, 00:00 AEDT)

  • Single Elimination 1on1
  • 10 min duels with 3 min overtime
  • All rounds are BO5
  • Ruleset: smackdown/qcon
  • No map repeats


Allowed clients and rulesets:

To avoid any confusion, the only allowed client is EzQuake (www.nquake.com / www.ezquake.com) version 3.2.2+ (If you for some reason are using a 3.5alpha version of EzQuake, make sure it is an alpha18 release or higher to avoid bugs).

The only allowed rulesets are "qcon" and "smackdown". Make sure to do f_checks before the game starts.

Maps

The map pool is the good old the big 5 - dm2, dm4, dm6, aerowalk and ztndm3. If both players agree, they can decide to play the 2020 remakes of these 5 maps by Dirtbox.

There are no map repeats. Using a lower-seed-picks-first system.

Example:

   Lower seed picks 1st map
   Higher seed picks 2nd map
   Lower seed picks 3rd map
   Higher seed picks 4th map
   If necessary, the last remaining map is played.
