UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

QuakeWorld MIX League 2 is a 4on4 league dedicated for rookies and low/mid skilled 4on4 players. Players that are too strong will not be allowed to play; the admins decide whom is allowed to play in the league. The objective is to have a more rookie-friendly league/tournament to play in, along with some more experienced players that wants to help out. Season one HERE.

Join our discord HERE.


Format

The season consists of 6 games of GO3 for each player (18 maps played) + a BO5 playoff; starts with Quarter Finals. Each map is played twice (9 maps). Each round (6 rounds) you play 3 maps.

There are 8 teams in the league: RED BLUE YELLOW GREEN BROWN ORANGE PINK SKYBLUE and the players in each team is decided by the rankings. In the first round the teams will be decided by the admins ranking setup, but each round after that the teams are decided by the results of the previous round. Go to table/standings to get an overview (also look at season 1).

When the last round is done (round 6) the playoff teams are set; the final standing in the table decides the playoff teams, who then are fixed for the whole playoff. Random draw will decide what teams face each other in the playoffs.

Table/Standings

The ranking will not display how many games you have played but how many maps you have played (max 3 maps per game). The rankings are decided by:

1. Maps Won
2. Maps Played (activity is rewarded)
3. Frags (fragscore)

If a player is considered too strong for the league (bad admin call, a faker, whatever reason) that player will be deleted from the season and the rankings.

Game Procedure

For a game to get going players need to take charge them selves, so the highest ranked player in the game will have to take some responsibility and be "admin" of the game. If a game is already 5 minutes delayed and players are not on server, standins can be used.

Try and use standins that actually plays in the league because that standin will then get this game/maps registered in the rankings. Also if possible try and get a standin that is close in the rankings of the player(s) missing. A standin used that is not in the league is also ok but all players should agree on that. Standins not in the league will be listed as standin players in the rankings, they dont affect anything in the league standings.

Late players can ofc join in after 1st or 2nd map, so leave specs ON.

Players leaving/joining/noshows

Players can for any reasons drop out of the season, but by doing so you delete everything you did and you are deleted from the rankings. As this is a league that is fixed for 32 players, new players can join in anytime if replacements are needed. Players who signed up as #33 and up will then be asked first, as they are on "waiting list". Remember: A season last only 5 weeks (2 games per week), before we launch a new one.

Noshow for games is allowed (but it would be nice with a message about it), but you will miss out in the rankings. If a noshow keeps on noshowing, admins will evaluate the situation and possibly replace that player.

Ruleset

  • Ruleset: Needs to be enabled before each official match
    • Smackdown or Qcon rulesets
- To enable the ruleset type in consol:
/ruleset smackdown or /ruleset qcon
/cfg_save

Then reconnect to the server you are on.

Players should do f_ruleset checks before game start. It is ultimately the responsibility of the players to perform this check, and in general, matches played with outlying rulesets will not be overturned if the players neglected to perform this duty. Where there is ambiguity, the decision will be decided by the Admins.

Ping

  • Choice of server should be suitable for both teams but must be played on the continent of Europe.
  • The pings should be the most even for the 2 teams and measures like cl_delay_packet to increase the fairness of a match are welcomed.
  • The team A with highest average ping can require the other team B to ping up to the level of team A's lowest pinging player. Only the best possible ping is accounted for. Using delay packet or rerouting to raise the ping of the lowest pinging player in order to force the other team to ping up more is NOT allowed.
  • The maximum min-ping that can be required is 52ms.
  • If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final.

Match Reporting

  • The team that wins the match should report the match.

Designate someone before or after match to upload demos and screenshot. - Reporting of the match is done through the #Report-Results channel on Division Ninety Nine discord.

Server Settings

  • Timelimit: 20 minutes
  • Overtime: 5 minutes if match is a draw
  • Deathmatch mode: 1
  • Teamplay mode: 2
  • Spawn mode: KTX2 Respawns
  • Powerups: ON
  • Discharge: ON
  • KFjump: Toggled OFF (command = tkfjump)
  • Airstep: OFF
  • Jawnmode: OFF
  • Antilag (or equivalent): ON (unless both teams agree to play without it.)
  • Fallbunny: ON (if server allows)
  • No berzerk, midair, instagib or other unusual modes.
  • If a team requests nospecs-mode, the other team is obliged to comply.

Server problems

remember to always set a match tag on your game - type in consol 4on4 and QML or something. This sets a matchtag on your game, enabling the /pause feature in game

  • The current map should be played to the end after game has started, no matter the servers condition.
  • In case of a disconnected player, teams should pause the game, by team captain asking admin status, all players should concede it fast and elected admin player should type ""pause"". Teams should wait maximum 10 minutes for the player, after that if the player is not back into the server, game must resume.

  • Admins will decide if a map should be replayed on another server

These should be the basic 4on4 settings on all modern servers, but make sure to check if you are unsure.

Scripting and cheats

In short: If you are playing with the ruleset on, and you have an updated client from reliable source - you do not have to worry about if you are cheating or not and can freely explore all settings in the consol and menus.

NOT allowed
  • movement scripts (ezquake: cl_idrive must be OFF)
  • kfjump
  • custom rocket jump scripts
  • Any other kind of movement scripts
  • Teamoverlay
  • Automated teamsays
  • Radar
  • Skin changing depending on health/armour/weapon
  • Custom models not allowed by f_modified
  • Any kind of cheat (wallhack, aimbot, timers etc.)
  • Hacked clients
  • Coaching, (timing quad and other items, relaying enemy positions and giving teamplay suggestions)
  • Different individual enemy skins

Demo Download

To download demos type in consol: on the server you were playing on:
"/cmd dlist Pink" to get a list of all games where team Pink was playing.

if you type
"/cmd dlist" you get a chronological list where the bottom ones are the latest ones played.
You can then type
"/cmd dl [the number of the demo listed on the left]" ex: "/cmd dl 252" and you'll download demo #252.
You can issue the command to download several demos at once by typing: ex:
"/cmd dl 252 253 254" which downloads demo # 252 253 and 254 in sequence.
You can also type
"/cmd dl ." to get the latest played game on the entire server.
"/cmd dl . .. ..." downloads the latest three games played on server.
