Rules
- Cup: Clans will be seeded and placed in a playoff tree, all based on secret votes by all captains. If there is a tie in points, the admins will decide. If there are more clans than 16 to participate, a preliminary round amond bottom seeded clans will be played. All clans will play 4 matches. There are no divisions, all clans are welcome to play, however, if a div3 clan is to play a div1 clan, they can "throw the towel" and give WO. This can be done only once in the whole event. Clan division assumptions are taken from the last EQL cup.
- Match procedure: All games are BO3, excluding finals and third place game that are BO5.
- Maps: DM2, DM3, E1M2, SCHLOSS.
- Server settings: Standard settings set by command /4on4
- Reporting: Report the game with screenshots and mvd demos in #qweternal-reports on QWEternal discord
- Clans and players: State your lineup when signing up. A player can no longer play in more than 1 clan as multiclanning is forbidden. Faking and changing the nickname is also forbidden for the sake of the Śniegowy bot - you must play under the same name you are listed during signups.
Ping
- The primary driver for server selection is to find a server where the teams have similar average pings (+/- 2ms) and to minimize that average.
- The pings should be the most even for the two teams and measures like cl_delay_packet or proxy rerouting to balance pings should be employed. A team with a higher average ping than their opponent on a given server may request the opponent to do this (or change server to somewhere with lower average ping).
- Matches must be played on EU servers.
- The highest minping that can be required is 52ms. This may occasionally mean matches played with uneven pings where one team has high pinging players, e.g. NA players on EU server.
- This process applies for every map played. Where lineup changes are made between maps it may become necessary to switch servers or adjust pings at the request of either team to rebalance pings.
- Servers that are providing significant packetloss that cannot be avoided by proxy rerouting should generally be avoided unless both teams agree to play there.
- If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final and refusal to play on a server designated by neutral admins will be considered a WalkOver loss.
