"You can't spell Averagers without ragers!"

Apart from having the pleasure of seeing us play in the QuakeCon Tri-Master tournament we will also make daily videos to share our experience with you. Considering we don't have proper video equipment it would most likely not be more than phone camera quality but at least we'll upload them right after recording so you won't still be waiting for them a year later. :D

Disclaimer: Please note that since Spart1e is in the team the daily videos might end up being rated M.

I will also try to gather all of our demos from the tournament and might try to steal configs from other players as well in case they might get lost again.

"I will personally make sure spartie won't be drunk before we have won the tournament. And I will personally make sure that he will be the drunkest after we have won the tournament. Please help me realise (and record) this dream of mine".

4v4 TDM, incomplete Double Elimination bracket. WB matches played as BO3, LB matches are BO1. LB final and grand final won't be played for time constraints; WB final will decide first/second place.

This time, vikatje will provide brand new TDM map-inspired paintings for the winners. WB final losers and the LB bracket winners will receive custom-made postcards featuring those paintings.

Dreadful Place, Hidden Fortress, Limbus, Purgatory, Ragnarok

Map picking procedure

BO3: Cointoss -> pick, pick, drop, drop
BO1: Cointoss -> drop, drop, drop, drop

Type !tadd on our channel #tdmpickup between 09:00 CST and 10:00 CST on Sunday the 15th. If you are signed up and you want to remove yourself, just use command !tremove. Please note that if you leave the channel before teams are created, you will be removed from the tournament as well!

TeamSpeak:
host: tdmpickup.eu
port: 9987 (default)

- Everybody needs to play 10 pickup games before the tournament, in order to be able to signup to the tournament. You can check how many games are remaining on your profile at QLStats for #tdmpickup.
- Eat before the tournament. Delaying whole tournament because of one person grabbing junkfood sucks.
- This tournament will take several hours to complete. Add only if you have a free evening, thanks!
- Be ready to use voice communication. Install and configure TeamSpeak 3 before the tournament day. If you're shy or cannot speak English, at least join and listen.
- If you leave the channel before the teams are posted, you will be removed from the tournament.
- If you didn't manage to register during signups, stay around on the channel. We may need you as a substitute player in later rounds!

(1) All players who took part in the current pro-season qualifications but couldn't win a slot.
(2) All players who couldn't reach top3 in the GS1 of the current pro-season (and thus can't continue to play in the pro-league this season).
(3) All players who want to participate in general - however players should not have an elo above 2200 (and as usual the quake live account should have more than 300 duels played and 3 played days in total).

Description (c) cpma docs:

Hoonymode is a novel form of 1v1 play, loosely based on tennis rules.
All in-game behaviour (weapons, physics, items, etc) remains the same
as standard DM: the change is in how the game progresses from one frag
to the next.

During warmup, two spawnpoints are chosen by the players. One will
typically be a "stronger" spawn and the other "weaker". When the game
begins, these are where the players will spawn, with the strong spawn
considered the equivalent of having the "serve".

Each player death (regardless of source, i.e. a suicide is considered
a kill for the opponent) is treated as a distinct point. After a point
is scored, play does not continue as in DM: instead, the players and
the arena are reset, and a new point is contested for. Players switch
spawnpoints at this time, so the player who had the weak spawn for the
previous point now has the strong one, effecting a change of serve.
Players are given a few seconds between points to reconsider strategies
etc.

Games are played to a point limit, with the clock not being a factor.
A player must reach that limit and be at least two points clear of
his opponent to win, i.e. in a 5-point game, 5-4 is a lead not a win:
the player still needs another point to clinch it.

Implementation Specifics:

Players claim a spawnpoint by moving near it and using the spawn
command (via console/bind/etc).

Referees can choose spawnpoints for players by using "spawn <pid>"
(Players can also use this when playing bots).

Players are not FORCED to choose a spawnpoint: spawns will be random (not
recommended).

New Map Rotations
We are retiring our Monthly Standard Map Rotation system, all maps are now free for all users at all times. All maps (with the exclusion of Small CA and large Terra maps) are available on public servers, including newly released arenas, and come up for vote in the end-game subscriber voting portal. Small CA and Terra maps are not included due to their sizes, but these maps remain available for selection by pro users via Create Match.

New Arenas Added

Bitter Embrace
Set in the stone ruins of an ancient temple, battle in the sand and beneath a golden sky in Bitter Embrace, a map that comes from Todd 'Mr. Clean' Rose. Designed for Free For All, but also plays exceptionally well in Clan Arena, Freeze Tag, and Team Deathmatch.

Castle Deathstalker
In the valley of a mountain pass lies a large, foreboding keep with protective walls surrounding its halls and courtyards. Designed by H. Scott 'Deathstalker' Maclean for Clan Arena, Castle Deathstalker became famous in Rocket Arena 3 for its open courtyards which allow players to explore the castle walls and roof with ease.

Death or Glory
This Small CA map from David 'SgtGhost' Levesque (Overkill, Dead and Gone, Revolver) leaves players fighting for cover as they launch themselves atop the wicked compass rose bridge structure.

Drunken Mummy
Risen from the grave by popular demand comes this RA3 legend so good even your Mum will love it. Servants of Thunderstruck, be prepared to get wrapped up in an all new arena to test the might of your lightning. Designed by Till Merker (Evolution, Hen House, Thunderstruck, Theatre of Pain). Tested and proven through the years for Small CA.

Industrial Revolution
Industrial Revolution hearkens back to the days when CTF was played in strange factories that specialized in slime and conveyor belts. The layout is tuned for fast but tactical gameplay. The architecture is built for three-dimensional combat. And the revolution will not be televised. Designed for CTF by author Joel 'Johnny Law' Baxter, this iron fortress is also available in Race.

Ragnarok
In a time past coexistance, the mythical cycle is coming to an end and the doom of the gods is percipiated by the fierce battle of hallowed elements. Sacred nordic grounds that once formed the home of the gods' children are now desecrated by a curse of frost and seclusion. Ragnarok, from authors Ferdinand 'cityy' List and Timo 'frs' Laakso, brings the fire and ice to competetive deathmatch. Designed for TDM, as well as Free For All, Race, Domination, Clan Arena and Freeze Tag the arena provides for intense combat and a journey to the norse world.

Refinery
Long abandoned and forgotten, Refinery is a series of complex levels and pathways. Battle from the factory's highest catwalks to its lowest pools of toxic waste. Keep your senses sharp and your reflexes primed, as danger can come from any direction in this new map from Justin 'StormShadow' Ingels. Designed for Duel, it provides an exciting challenge in Free For All

Satanic
A throwback to the 90's with it's over-the-top demonic presence comes Satanic, from Justin 'StormShadow' Ingels (Devilish, Cold War). Fight the forces of evil for the freedom of your soul in this cathedral of pain and lava. Fun family-friendly entertainment in Free For All, Clan Arena, and Freeze Tag.

Solarium
Powered and fed by the cool winds, this greenhouse habitat by Tom 'Phantazm11' Perryman (Battleforged, Black Cathedral, Corrosion) comes alive as plants sprout throughout its vertically winding halls as they reach for the light above. Available in both Duel and FFA.
Renovated Arenas:

Sorrow
Remastered with a new layout, Sorrow, by Pawel 'ShadoW' Chrapka, now sports a more open and connected Red Armor room and lower lightning gun dungeon area for more exciting and visceral play. Fight to maintain control of the high ground and be rewarded with Mega Health and Yellow Armor, but not without losing sight of the lower halls where the crucial Red Armor, Lightning Gun, and Railgun lie.

In-game Medals:
- Added new 'Perforated' in-game medal, earned by telefragging an enemy.
- Reduce max time between weapon shots for COMBOKILL from 3s to 1.5s.

'First Frag' award extended to all appropriate gametypes, now earn it in team games as well as FFA/Duel!
Updated VO for the "Fight!", "two frags left", and "one frag left" voice-overs.
Added an independent volume control for the Announcer VO (s_announcerVolume).
Added a sound buffer to properly queue the Announcer VO and remove overlapping VO sounds.
Moved non VO sounds out of the announcer sound channel and into the local sound channel, to allow for the announcer volume controls, as well as fix some odd delays between flag returned sound and flag returned VO.
Updated "lead taken" and "lead lost" VO behavior.
Removed "Teams are Tied" VO to reduce VO clutter.

Removed Round Draws from Freeze Tag, now using number of living players and/or health to determine a round winner if round time limit elapses.
Added player obituaries to all scoreboards (race excluded), this fixes the delayed obituary messages.
Fixed the obituary icon fading, the weapon icons now fade out.
Double stack obituaries for players killed at the same time.
Show all obituaries for 1.5s, instead of cutting them short when a new one occurs on a following frame.
Hide the Join Red | Join Blue buttons when the match is in progress, as those are actually treated as Join Auto buttons.
Disallow choosing specific teams while joining during the countdown (in favor of auto-join).
Added an overtime indicator on the HUD.
Added Win/Loss music at the endgame scoreboard (Win/Loss background music controlled with s_musicVolume).
Fixed swapped flag returned sounds.
Fixed the missing/broken 'Round in Progress' spectator message when joining an elimination based game in progress.
Restored the alignment of the timer on the comp HUD.
No longer issue 1 & 5 Minute Warnings to players who join after that event should have occurred.
Disable taunt animation with cg_allowTaunt 0.
Added premium icons to the FFA and RR scoreboards.
Added some padding between the CA alive icons and the team names in the comp spec hud scorebox.
Fixed aspect ratio of caster respawn timers.
Fixed the scores misalignment on the comphud.
Fixed "Sudden Death" message for roundlimit 0 matches.
Fixed incorrect ratio on Red Rover obituaries on default HUD.
Fixed missing Red Rover obituaries on large HUD.
