The sdCup is a premier weekend tournament featuring a hefty prize pool and top class talent. It encourages even pings allowing for the entire world to participate online in epic weekend bouts between the best players out there.
This edition of sdCup is a one day, single elimination duel tournament meant to showcase the Frozen Five, an edited version of the Big Five perfect for the upcoming winter holidays, and of course to have some fun with a high octane action 1-day duel tournament!
The tournament will have a symbolic $100.00 prize pool for the winner that can be used to buy more presents for their loved ones.
All players are required to be present in the #sdCup channel on the main QuakeWorld discord 30 minutes prior to tournament start.

Registration
You can register for the tournament on the Challonge tournament page, or by letting us know in the #sdCup channel. You can also privately register by messaging Andeh or Alice.
Before signing up, make sure to clear your schedule and be prepared to invest 5+ hours into playing, especially if you expect to get far in the tournament. sdCup#1 took roughly 6 hours, for reference.
Reporting
Reporting will be done in the #sdCup channel on the main QuakeWorld discord.
Servers
This is a world wide tournament, meaning you might have to play games on a higher ping than you're used to. Strive for fair pings, but use this as a general rule of thumb:
- East coast NA vs EU = Ireland
- West coast NA vs EU = New York
- AU vs EU = India
- AU vs NA = Los Angeles
- BR vs AU = Los Angeles
- BR vs EU/NA = Miami
If you can find a server with lower pings for both of you, I strongly suggest you use that one! This is just a general rule of thumb and not a requirement, however striving for as equal pings as possible is mandatory.
Use whichever antilag setting suits the situation. We would recommend using antilag 1 when available and on higher pings.
