The G7 organization has decided to add Quake Live to their ranking system with QuakeCon 2009 beeing the first ranked event.
With Quakelive being added to the grid of more and more tournaments in the future and Quake in general having such a huge past as a competitive eSports title, the G7 Teams decided to start a ranking for it with Quakecon 2009 being the very first tournament to earn points. The ranking will fall under the same set of rules as CounterStrike 1.6 and WarCraft III do. As the granted points at the first tournament need to be determined and the G7 Teams look at the grid of players and competition as a major tournament, a total of 240 points will be played out at Quakecon 2009.
