The tournament will be played using a single elimination bracket, which each match being played best out of three. The first two maps will be assigned to you by Crossfire, to decide the third map should it be required each team will eliminate one map each. The team who won the first map will eliminate first.
Maps:
Supply, sw_Goldrush, Radar, Adlernest, Frostbite -
Teams will choose their own map for the first matchweek.
Match Configs:
ET and Call of Duty will run on the Crossfire server config. Quakewars will run the current ESL config and Warsow will run the standard setup.
Arranging Your Matches:
Each match has a set period of time in which to be played, this tournament is running on a STRICT schedule and there is very little room for manoeuvre. As soon as your opponent is known and posted on your tournaments page, please contact your opponent immediately and arrange your match. Once you have arranged your match, send a message on Crossfire to QCUPAdmin telling him the teams, the date and the time that the match will be played, along with any other relevant information.
Should Crossfire feel teams are actively working against the Schedule that Crossfire has provided and working against the pre Christmas deadline of the tournament, they will be removed.
Reporting Match Results:
When you win your match report your score to QCUPAdmin – unless contested this result will be taken as accurate
Match Administration:
Not every match will have an onserver admin, teams are trusted to complete the matches themselves, however in the result of any conflicts ALL PLAYERS MUST RECORD DEMOS. Do not delete your demos until after the tournament, if there is a match conflict and demos are not available from either one side, or an individual player in question, Admins will rule in favour of the opposition, although each case is subjective.
Questions, Complaints and Queries?
All communication should be made to QCUPAdmin via Crossfire PM – This will allow all admins to see your message and answer your query as fast as possible. However teams should also idle in #crossfireqcup for questions to other teams and admins.

:D:D <3
y0 y0 y0 nGr gangst0r plz
w00t I knew they would come back once
Of course there are always some cases which should be decided upon individually.
ET is sooo alive!
Got a few decent teams that could suprise us too, like blutSTURZ, EDiT, Cortana, Morrigu, and maybe TAG if they play serious. So yes I think its pretty alive. :D
Unfortunately it could be a temporary thing, I would say they are playing for the money but 30 euros each isn't really worth spending hours playing. Though it could die down again after the cup unless there are more cups like this in the future. But people have been saying about the skilldrop in ET, and I think the teams here suggest its still as high as it used to be. :]

I understand that they can only take 32 teams as there weren't enough signups to fill 64 spots, but I'd like to know the criteria the admins followed concerning the kickouts to reach 32 teams.
"Only known Teams are allowed to signup"
crap.
There were other nonames that are still in the cup, how do they know that they're all better than us?
I don't want to stack things too high, but I'm sure there are still teams in the Cup that we could have beaten...
But hey, just forget about it, don't want to have a senseless discussion here, we are not in, and it seems as if we have to accept it... it isn't the only cup ton earth ;)
hmm :p :DD
You are right on this one... but
When you receive 30 mails and both (me & hentai) receive +100pms on IRC the day the signups close, it's impossible to do the necessary research and gather all information needed to handle everything objectively. Maybe if we had a bit more time to handle every mail & team with bigger care, we could have some other teams in it.
Now we made a list with all signups. Deleted some clans because there mail was just 1 sentence (TIP: if you want to participate in a cup, read the "how to signup" rules with care)
We selected around 28 clans without doubting and added 4 more after we said our opinion about them.
From those 32, we seeded 16 teams
It's difficult to do good for everyone you know ;) (sorry pepper)
My signup mail contained more information than demanded :P
But anyway, in some way I get your point, maybe you should have opened the signups a bit earlier and also closed it a bit earlier to have enough time to organize everything without being in a hurry ;)
didnt impact dispand though? due to cod4 and stuff like that?
gifty cod4
aza wont leave his house so no lan
mystic army, so no lan
that sums it up i think, we'll still be finishing off this ec and be playing 3v3s tho!
