Quake con

Greetings.

When there is no Quake Con due to the Covid-19 there is an online event instead.

Due to this there is an upcoming ET:QW Tournament this weekend, arranged by Wizard and server hosted by TAW (i.e. Dissected/ressected )

Here are some details, also posted on Splash Damage QW Forum :

"Hello ET:QW community! As some of you may remember, our beloved game was debuted at QuakeCon 2006. Due to Covid-19, this year’s event has been transformed into a socially-distanced experience, dubbed QuakeCon at Home 4, taking place online August 7th through 9th. Removing the hurdle for players to travel for the frag-fest introduces the opportunity for everyone from all across the world to take part in the livestreams, tournaments, giveaways, and fundraisers.

With that in mind, the guys who brought you the GG Tournament 2013 invite you to a weekend-long community event, bringing Quake Wars home with QuakeCon at Home! Come play all weekend long on persistent dedicated NA and EU servers while participating in the ongoing QuakeCon festivities.

For those of a more competitive spirit, join us for The Homecoming Tournament! This will be a 4v4 double-elimination bracket. Each match will follow the AB/BA stopwatch format where the time-setting team chooses the map and server. In the event of a tie (both teams successfully defend both maps), a 3rd map will be chosen by the winner of a coin flip, with the server chosen by the loser of the same coin flip.

Whether you’re playing in the tournament or not, drop in for some pub matches, pick-up games, and friendly scrims throughout the weekend. Servers can be found at https://www.gametracker.com/search/etqw/ 16.

Don’t have the game installed? Don’t remember your password? Don’t worry! Visit the Getting In Game 24 page and just follow the instructions to log in with an offline account and connect directly to the dedicated servers.

Who: You and 3 of your gaming buddies
What: The Homecoming Tournament
Where: Online, captains to agree upon match times (number of matches per day TBD until we know how many teams will play)
When: QuakeCon at Home, August 7-9
Why: Do you really need a reason?
How: Download the launcher and pick a server!

Once you’ve got a team, please sign up on the tournament site 34 so we can start getting an estimate for bracket sizing, server support, and what kind of prizes can be offered! Otherwise, please respond here if you’re interested but need a team.

A MASSIVE thank you in advance to @ressected for preparing the servers! Join TAW every Tuesday/Sunday at 21:00 CEST and 9:00 PM EDT for more fun."

Vanilla or custom maps?

You should create a blog on the website with this info too.

Both custom and vanilla depending on what maps the different teams choose, like old competition rules.
