UPDATE: Groups have been posted @ PG Quake Live Pro-Am #1 - Group Stage

The quick facts:

Duel (1v1)
64 Players
Signup's close 15th of April (SIGNUPS CLOSED).
Games start 20th of April.
Groups, played as "Best of Three" maps
Single Elimination finals, played as "Best of Five" maps

Pro-Am?

Professionals & Ameteurs playing together.

We have quite a few pro's at Quake Live coming from Quake 3 & many new folks joining in on the fun for the first time, so this will be the first Pro-Am.

Schedule

The schedule heavily relies on the number of people that register for the event.

Once registrations are complete, there will be another post on the subject.

Signups will close on Wednesday, 15th April.

Tournament Format

I've chosen to run with Groups the first round to sort out seeding.

We roughly know whos who in the QL world already, but there are many unknowns & no accurate rankings that I can use.

That said, we'll do our best to populate the groups so that the top X players don't meet up & get kicked before the finals.

The group round matches will be played using the "Best of Three" format.

After groups are completed the top X players will be put into the Single Elimination finals. All games at this stage will be played "Best of Five".

Games & Opponents

It will be up to the players to organise a time to meet & play.

To make it easier on everyone, could all players please idle in IRC (#ausquake on GameSurge).

If you are unable to find your player, post on the forum. If the other player doesn't show up they will forfiet their games.

Maps

Campgrounds Redux (qzdm6)
Almost Lost (qztourney6)
Lost World (qzdm13)
Vertical Vengeance (qztourney4)
Furious Heights (qztourney7)

Take this opportunity to discuss the map rotation.

Servers

Private servers haven't been introduced as of yet, and I can't see them releasing them anytime soon.

All matches will be played on public servers. You'll be given plenty of time to complete your matches so you should be able to find an empty server sometime.

Match Submissions

On completion of matches, results should be posted as comments on the main information post (due 16th/17th April).

All matches in Quake Live are recorded on the website. Posting a link to this information will neutralise disputes.

Demos

All players must record their games to demo. If a dispute occurs, you'll be required to upload your demo.

As this is a spectator sport, we'd like to see your games anyway! Please upload any demos on match completion.

I have setup an anonymous FTP (ftp: premiumgamer.com) where you can upload your demos (if you can't upload them yourselves).

Any demos I receive will be posted with results. Please make sure you label your files correctly so I know whats what.

EDIT: Also can the statement "Professionals & Amateurs playing together" be clarified? When I read that I was imagining a 2v2 tourney with 1 noob/1 pro on each team. Obviously this is a duel tournament which is fine.
- OP noetix
  11 months
  
  I put 1v1 at the very top.. how could anyone assume its 2v2..
  - deevus
    11 months
    
    I wasn't assuming it was a 2v2. A typical Pro Am means a Pro partners with an Amateur. That was what I wanted clarified.

t7 should be played, it's a good map and it's silly to take out a perfectly good map.

people should be playing more maps.

You guys should make it interesting and all pitch in $10 so the first 3 place getters win some moolah..

60 Entrants x $10, first gets $400, second $150 and third $fiddy.

Are there any overviews for the maps being played in the tourney? I've done a bit of a search around but couldn't find anything. For those players who don't know the maps and want to learn by running around in your own server,(correct me if i'm wrong, I think I am) join an empty QL server, open console and type "map mapname" and it should swap. If somebody could list the cvars for recording a demo(default directory it records to) & screenshots or any other helpful cvars it would be great as well

How are the maps decided in group player? Does each player veto 1 map? Or does each player choose a map, veto 1 map and the remaining map is the decider(if needed)

Sorry if this has been explained, I briefly skimmed over the replies and didn't see anything!
