maybe i can actually reply to this cup announcement newspost

edit: so i can

go quakeworld!

Quite a large map pool, but no skull?

I would have thought it was the most popular of the kenyas.

It's normal map pool for Q2. They actually can play more than 4 maps, if you know what I'm referring to.

For example: map pool for the most recent EDL (European Duel League): q2dm1, q2dm3, q2rdm1, q2rdm2, match1, ptrip, q2duel5, ztn2dm2, ztn2dm3, q2duel1/aeroq2 and q2rdm7.

Compare that list to Q3.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't read it. I thought it was about Q2. Anyway my point is still valid.

My point was more about the omission of one map than the inclusion of several others.

I understand that, with these rookie events, there will be no complaints about "kenya" maps, so the admins can include some not normally seen in regular qw tournaments.

My question is why miss out on what is by far the most popular of those maps?

stev, I voted for skull but others voted down :)
we didn't want more kenya maps than five and as we pick up maps skull had no remaine place in the five.

about the big pool: first we tought the best would be if P1 chose a map and P2 chose a map from the whole pool. and if both the maps were classic maps or just one of them was kenya, then the third should be classic too. then they can choose only from the classic pool since these are far more popular maps. so in this way classic pool would got prio1.
But as there's difference between rookies too we would like to balance these differences. best way for this is a big map pool with good but not certainly so popular (as yet) kenya maps.
to my sorrow :)

I too wanna be a rookie :(

soo 2 weeks signups means it starts in august?

go to #qwrookie and battle a player there to see if you are rookie or not!

Good luck in the tourney, I hope it will be as successful as Ignition 1 and 2

I hope the tournament goes smooth, but I'm afraid that there'll be a lot of wos and dropouts like last time. Good luck for the tourney anyhow

signed up :)
