The CPL has posted the long awaited rules for their 4-Year Anniversary QW tournament. There was a lot of discussion about how the rules should be, but the CPL made a good decision and listened to the active QW players. The main rules are as follows:

The tournament will consist of up to 128 pre-registered players. These players will meat each other in a single elemination round. The remaining 64 players will then continue in a full double elemination tournament style to decide the overall winner. All games will be of best of three format and matchups are decided upon prior seeding of the players. The match rules are:
Game Mod: K-Teams v2.21 Qizmo proxy v2.91
Match Format: Best of 3 games, end on a clinch
Game Mode: DMM3
Maps: DM2 DM4 DM6
Timelimit: 10
Forced Respawn: 10
Sudden Death Overtime
No Power-ups

In my opinion these rules are very good ones. The only questions remaining now are: Who will decide upon the seedings and what will they look like? Which are the not allowed console commands and those who have to be at default values? (I can't think of any now)

For a full overview on the very detailed rules check out the official rules.

Until now 38 players have signed up for the QW tournament. Some of the better known among todays QW/Quake community are:
