Sorry for the free hosting site. If someone wants to grab them and host them here at Q1 or somewhere easier to access please do so. To navigate this crap free site scroll to the bottom and click the Slow Download Speedodometer. Enter the Code and press the Enter Key. On the next page wait 30 seconds and then scroll to the bottom and click the Slow Download speed odometer again.

Just a note about these demos: There is some minor talking during the demos, i appologize for this. Some POV's are missing, only a few I think. On a few of my demos where I was following someone, if they died, it auto switched to the other player. I Didnt realize this until after a few POV demos. I appologize for the lack of professionalism and will strive to make the Demo's more professional in the future. Again Thank you to Badaim for recording the other half of the POVs!

He will help keep the games on time, people where they are suppose to be, and help with the officiating as well. I really appreciate Badaim volunteering his time for this tournament. He is a great member of this community and obviously a well respected and trusted person.

$5 will also be donated to the winner’s choice of quake contributors.




REGISTRATION: If you are interested in playing please send me a Private Message on Quakeone with the below information:
You have to Register with the below steps to be included in the tournament. Just posting in this thread with any of the below information does not count. I need a PM.

• Quakeone Forum Member Name.
• Quake Player name that you will be playing under in the tournament.
• Personal E-Mail address so I can contact you if need be.
• Your PayPal account name. (You can withhold this until after the tournament if you wish)
• The Quake Contributor you would like to donate $5 to if you win. (Again you can withhold this until the end of the tournament if you wish)



REGISTRATION START DATE: Registration starts now. October 22, 2011.

REGISTRATION END DATE: Registration ends on Wednesday November 2nd at 11:59PM CST. If you register after this you will not be signed up for the tournament and eligible for the Cash Prize.


BRACKET RULES: Single Elimination, Random Pairings until 1 person is left. What this means is that if we have 12 players sign up, I will randomly match people up by drawing names. Those 12 players will have 6 matches, the winners will be randomly matched and played again and so on and so forth until we are left with the final 1 on 1 and then declare the winner. Unfortunately this isn’t a perfect system and I will not have alternates standing by to fill in if we have odd numbers at any point in the tournament. There will be a point in time during this tournament where there is an odd person out. If there is an odd person out you will have to play me. I am not a great player and I am not a terrible player. I am just an average player so it shouldn’t be too hard to beat me but it won’t be an automatic easy win to the next round either. I will make sure I ping up to your ping to play. I know this isn’t a great solution but the bottom line is that each round is random so just play your best and win and you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.



GENERAL RULES: (There are numerous rules but I don’t want to leave any stone unturned so please take the time to read through them.)

o The time and date of the tournament is set in stone and will not change for anyone for any reason. If you can make it great, and if not I apologize, but hopefully you can make it to the next one.


o After the Registration end Date I will post the bracket of people playing each other in the 1st round. This bracket will be picked at random out of a hat from the pool of available players.
The 2nd round will be picked on the fly as soon as the 1st round is completed, again it will be randomly picked out of a hat. This will continue until we are left with the final 2 Players and they will play 1 complete round whoever wins that round will be declared the tournament champion.

o I will PayPal the $50 to the tournament champion immediately after the match is over.

o I will then donate $5 to the Quake Contributor of their choice via any method available and
depending on if I can get in contact with that person. If I can’t contact that person within a reasonable amount of time then that $5 will be donated to the next tournament cash prize pool. If you win the tournament you can NOT donate the $5 to yourself even if you are defined as a quake contributor. (see below)

o A Quake Contributor is someone defined by contributing in some form or fashion to the Quake community. Either by designing skins, models, weapons, packs, monsters, mods, etc. Developing or hosting any type of web content for Quake. Hosting Quake Servers. Here are a few examples: Rook or Baker – Developing the QRACK/ProQuake mods amongst other things. Spirit or Solecord for hosting Quaddicted and Quakeone.com. Ooppee or Seven for their designing of multiple skins/packs/models. Avalanche or Zero for hosting their quake servers.

o This is a fast paced type of tournament. I don’t want this to span over multiple days. It will start and end on the same day and hopefully within 1-2 Hours. If you are a player in the tournament I am asking you to contribute 1-2 Hours of your time. The only set in stone time will be the 1st match and it will start at 6PM CST. All the rest of the players will be asked to stick around either Rage.quakeone.com 26000. If you go to another server then tell me where you are going so I can have someone go get you when it is your time to play.

o Obviously no cheating, botting, wall hacking, etc.

o 1 complete match in CA is defined as the best of 5 rounds.

o There will not be any pinging up to match pings (unless I am playing). We also won’t play on any server but rage.quakeone.com port 26005. I can’t possibly control locations/bandwidth/internet routing/connection speeds. So you play as is wherever you are with whatever connection you have at the time.

o There will no re-scheduling or long delays. If your mouse broke and you can’t replace it within a very short period of time, you will be eliminated. I apologize for the bluntness of this but for the sake of continuity we need to have very little deviations.

o If you are not a player in the tournament or a volunteer please do not come to Rage port 26005 during this time. Please wait at the 26000 port and people will update you if you are interested.

o Players participating in the tournament can’t wait at 26005 either. I can’t control communication outside of quake, cell phones, ventrillo, etc, but I can limit who is on the server. If we had the ability to disable chase cam/auto follow/ghost movement, then I could let players stay.

o Only player’s names that were reported to me through the registration will be allowed to play at 26005. If you are not using the alias you said you were you will not be allowed to play.

o There will be no excessive talking/spamming/trash talking during the match. If you are pissed or losing or lose the match, take the higher ground. Congratulate the other person and move on or don’t say anything and leave; either way let’s try and make this a classy tournament. There is only a core group of players left in net quake and we all know each other. Please play with dignity and we can continue having tournaments like these.



LATE RULES: Players have 5 Minutes to show up for their match. This means the 1st 2 players at 6PM, if one of you isn’t there by 6:03 you will be disqualified and the person you are playing moved to the next round and declared the winner. For the following matches, your 5 minutes will not start until you are found and told “Your match is ready please report to RAGE:26005.” If you do not respond within 5 minutes you will be disqualified. If you have to go AFK for anything please let me know and you will be granted little more time, I understand if you have kids, family, bathroom breaks, etc.


PLAYING RULES:

o Spamming is allowed obviously. You only have 40 of each ammunition so if you want to spam you will be out of ammunition and dead pretty quickly if the other player waits you out.
o Camping and Running is hard to regulate and very subjective. Ultimately the decision will come to me. I will try and be as hands off as possible but if a player is constantly running away from the other player and not actively trying to engage I will give them 1 warning. After that you will be eliminated from the game. If the player is “Camped” in a tight or hidden spot for a period of time and not moving, that is considered camping and 1 warning will be issued. 2nd time, eliminated. Again these rules aren’t bulletproof and I might make a call you don’t agree with, but in the end if you are actively trying to engage the other player you will have nothing to worry about. This doesn’t mean you have to make a head long rush into an unfair area. Remember that the other player only has so much ammunition and after 2 minutes of firing spam/warning shots, he might be out of ammunition. Below are examples:

CAMPING

- Sitting anywhere in the RA and not actively trying to leave to engage the other player is considered camping.
- Sitting above the Doors on either side of the SNG is considered camping. Sitting at the top of the SNG and not actively trying to exit to re-engage the other player is considered camping.
- Sitting in the elevator shaft and not actively trying to exit is considered camping.
- Sitting in the YA room and not actively trying leave to re-engage the other player is considered camping.

NOT CAMPING

- Waiting at the mound is not camping.
- Waiting outside is not camping.
- Waiting in the water is not camping.
- Waiting on the Bridge is not camping.


This tournament is not going to be perfect but I am going to try to run it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please be respectful of the community and play as if you were in the room with these actual people. There are a lot of rules in order to keep this tournament in line and keep the distractions to a minimum. If you don’t agree with them or don’t want to be subjected to them then please don’t participate. I want to keep this a positive experience and one of fellowship and competition.
I will also be posting the demos of the final matches along with the Winner’s name and Quake Contributor he donated $5 to in this thread.


If we have little to no participants in this tournament, someone will still be receiving the $50. This is my way of donating money to Quake. If only 1 person signs up for this tournament then I will PayPal that person the $50 and declare him the winner of the tournament. If no one signs up for the tournament then I will donate the entire $55 to one of the quake contributors. I know $50 and $5 isn’t that much money but it is all coming from me. Maybe in the future we can have more donations and bigger prizes.

I look forward to seeing you guys there and if you wish to ask any more questions please post them in a constructive way or PM me.
