All weapons does 20% less damage. LG and BFG are weakened even further. G is twice as fast. MG starts with 50 bullets. Weapon respawn is slightly longer. Quad Damage and Battle Suit are significantly weaker.

Fights will last longer and precise aiming is important.

Schedule

Information
Use our IRC channel #Pro.QL to join our tournaments.

When a tournament starts at 20:00 CEST the !signup and !register ends at 19:30 CEST while !checkin ends at 19:45 CEST. Servers are started at 19:50 CEST and are kept running for the remainder of the tournament. Players start warming up on the servers 19:55 CEST and the actual matches start at 20:00 CEST.

Duel
Player to the left is player 1 aka white. Player to the right is player 2 aka black.
Hosting order: Player 1, player 2, public server.
Player 1 picks first map. Player 2 picks second/last map.
Each map won is worth 1/2 points.
Most points after 5 rounds wins the tournament.
Standard players always play Standard maps.

FFA
Trusted hosts start the required number of servers.
Players are divided into groups with players of adjacent total score calculated from rounds 1-5 dragging one map behind the latest to reduce waiting.
Highest total score after 7 rounds wins the tournament.

IRC Commands
Applies only to the #Pro.QL channel when Fi2011 is online.

!register USERNAME
Link your IRC nickname to an actual Quake Live player name.

!signup USERNAME PLAYDAY
Add your name to the preliminary list of players for a tournament of your choice.

!checkin USERNAME

!withdraw USERNAME

USERNAME is the exact actual Quake Live in-game name. Add a * at the end to indicate a Pro subscription or a + to indicate a Premium subscription.
PLAYDAY is the weekday for the tournament.

Advertise
IRC: Post links to #Pro.QL in populated channels.
In-game: Use key bind to shout links to #Pro.QL on populated servers.
This works because there are at least 100 players out there that are able to play in tournaments at any given night.

You remember the good old FFA Tournaments we had before?

The site is down for maintenance during the summer, so we will do this manually.

Join #ffa-clan to register. Just type !register and your exact Quake Live account name in the channel when I am there. Mark your name with an ending * if you are Pro or + if you are Premium. Type !checkin and your exact Quake Live account name right before the tournament and you will be grouped together with the rest of the players in the tournament.

Location: DEU, Frankfurt
Time: 20:00 CEST
Maps: Campgrounds, AlmostLost, HiddenFortress, Retribution, GrimDungeons, Trinity, FuriousHeights

The structure is new this time around, there won't be any eliminations. Everyone plays every round. The further it goes, the more skill balanced the games will become. Basically you play the players that have the closest score to yours. The highest total score over the seven rounds wins the tournament. All the groups and results will be posted on this forum.

Pro players, leave your servers running so the new groups can join them. PM me links and passwords so I can put them in the topics of the channels. Join #Pro.QL so I can reach enough hosts for all the necessary servers.

Upon winning a game in the tournament you have to PM me a link to the match stats so I can hand out points to all the players before the next round starts.

There is a tournament structure called Swiss-system that allows everyone to play the same number of rounds against equally performing players.

We play on Mondays at 20:00 CEST at DEU Frankfurt.

The players in the tournament are split into two groups.

Pro Tournament
Requires a Premium or Pro Quake Live subscription.
Maps: Aerowalk, BloodRun, FuriousHeights, Hektik, Toxicity
IRC: #Pro.QL

Open Tournament
Requires a Standard Quake Live account.
Maps: BloodRun, FuriousHeights, HouseOfDecay, LostWorld, VerticalVengeance
IRC: #Open.QL

General Information
Each round consists of two maps. The player to the left, aka player 1 or white picks map first. The player to the right, aka player 2 or black picks the second map. Maps are played in the same order as they are picked. A round can end as a win (1 point) if both maps are won, as a draw (1/2 point) if only one map was won or as a loss (0 points) if no map was won. The player with most points after 5 rounds wins the tournament.

Pro subscribers are asked to host for the top games in the Pro Tournament, while the rest play on public servers. All standard games in the Open Tournament are played on public servers.

Further Information

Pairings are generated before every round. Tie-breaks are applied to make the pairing as fair as possible. Everyone should get to host an equal number of times. After a couple of tournaments, it will also be possible to have individual rating for all players. With a rating list in play, the most skill matched games will take place towards the end of the tournament.

The point of the tournament is that you can have more reasonable goals other than winning or being eliminate, compared to other tournaments. You can decide to try to finish in the top half of the player list or at least not at the bottom.

Let's try to start at 20:00 CEST. This could be played tonight, every day or whenever there are enough players for it.

Pro subscription is a must because anyone can and will be asked to host a server in the tournament in any round. An option would be to have someone else host for you, but that privilege must be exclusive to you for the entire tournament and you will still require a Premium subscription because no spectators are allowed except arbiters and casters.
