DM2 Duel Tournament
Welcome to Quakeworld and one of Quake's most legendary map: dm2. This is the third tournament in its kind, and the the successor to DM4 DUEL TOURNAMENT and DM6 DUEL TOURNAMENT. It will be a dm2 only duel tournament where the king of dm2 in 2024/25 is crowned. The tournament starts November 2024, or earlier if enough signups. It should end sometime January 2025 (if it goes slow). It's been a long time since the last 2 tours, but here we finally are. Aerowalk Duel Tournament will launch sometime after the dm2 tour.

- Settings: Standard settings by typing "/1on1 dm2 duel" - A matchtag is required to enable both players the ability to pause. Without it, the match is not pausable.
- Pause rules: Each player is allowed one pause per match, once you have used a pause and use it again, you have forfeited the map.
- WO's on maps/games are accepted as long as both players agree to such (skill gaps can be huge in groupstage).
- Ping rules: Find a server that keeps both players around the same ping +/- 13ms, if no such server can be found, the lowest ping player will have to use cl_delay_packet to get closer to the higher ping player. If there's a dispute in what server should be used, contact admin in discord.
