Attention all players out there looking to get an introduction to the fast paced challenging game of Quakeworld. Sign ups are currently open for the Ignition Duel tourney which is aimed purely at attracting in new players to the community.
Quakeworld has a very tight nit community and despite the game being over 12 years old, it is still at the forefront for online games in terms of skill and fast paced action. While there is a very steep learning curve in getting up to speed with QW, this tournament hopes to bridge that gap and to give new players a chance to play other like skilled players and to get assistance from experienced players in getting setup.
For more details make sure to go to the Tourney website:

I havent posted here for years due to chronic and slow recovering RSI caused - yes you guessed it - from a two week intense session of q3 promode playing. The damage was done in two weeks, but its been two years now and I still cannot use a mouse for longer than 30 minutes (initially it was 3 minutes). Oh, the irony. Be careful folks.
Anyway, I had to post this:

Nutters using roman candles for RL and firing at each other, with added authentic quake sound effects. Brilliant.

It has been said for years now that Quakeworld scene is shrinking and numbers are dropping. Well now we can get a better indication as to the numbers playing Quakeworld and trends with the release of QuakeWorld Statistics (http://stats.quakeworld.nu). developed by  pleuraXeraphim and  JohnNy_cz .
The new site is a resource which details almost all QuakeWorld matches played on KTX servers. The website allows users to to view matches in the following categories: 4on4, 2on2, 1on1, pov, end, endif and ffa matches with an end of match scoreboard. The site collects and compiles match data and presents this in an easy to view format giving a whole variety of information.
There are weekly awards based on a player ranking system and a profile for all players detailing all their matches and statistics. This is for fun and if nothing else gives an idea of a players activity and can be used to size up an opponent for a league match.
If maps are your thing then their is a map section with detailed stats for all maps played. Finally there is a list of all servers and players with corresponding statistics and a detailed statistics page for all game modes broken down per day and per week.
Any Irish Quakeworld players should hop on IRC and join #nafianna channel. There is still an Irish clan playing in the upcoming 4on4 European Quake League.

So interest has dropped a little since the start of the Quake Quick Cups - there are now two for various skill levels and we want to find out how to improve sign-up rates in each.
Got a little poll over on boards.ie concerning the day (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055387833) that the tournament should be run on...However, I want to hear ALL feedback - the good, the bad AND the ugly (especially the bad and ugly - only way to make things better).
We are mixing up the game types with a 4 week cycle of different modes. So is it the day? Is it the gamemode? Is it just a temporary slump? Do ye want entry fees and prize money?
Also - try to expand. i.e. Instead of just saying a gamemode - perhaps back it up with a reasoning...But happy to hear all suggestions and comments...

Last week saw a bit of a change-up to the format of the http://qqc.tourney.cc Quake Quick Cup as it split into a cup for higher level players (Quake Quick Cup) and a cup for newer or more inexperienced players ( http://notquitepro.tourney.cc Not Quite Pro Cup – Congratulations again to SearrarD).
Now, things are being altered again slightly thanks to feedback received from the community. Both cups are going to take on a more scheduled look so that players can plan ahead . http://www.altfire.com
Quake Quick Cup: Capture The Flag – Team Deathmatch – Free For All/Instagib – Duel
‘Not Quite Pro’ Cup: Rest Week – Duel – Rest Week – Duel
What does this mean and why are there “rest weeks” in the NQP Cup – It’s all in the name of variety, trying to get people involved and trying to make sure that everyone is having fun. The “rest weeks” are scheduled to coincide with Quake Quick Cups where the game mode is more friendly for newer or lower skilled players. So while you may be a NQP player, you will get to play with higher skilled players and have fun because you have support!
In Capture The Flag (which will be the next Quake Quick Cup on Sunday 28th September) teams will be balanced to ensure that the overall makeup is at a similar level. So all are welcome to play regardless of skill level. Please sign-up early because teams do need to be balanced – if there are uneven numbers, unfortunately some players will be acting as substitutes. Sign-ups will close on Sunday at 08:00. This will enable us to make up and balance teams.
So to sign-up or for more information visit the Quake Quick Cup site. The NQP site will be updated during rest weeks to keep people up to date with what is happening and because the events in the QQC that week will be of interest to ALL Quake 3 players. As usual, any questions or comments just let us know...

The Quake Quick Cup series is coming along strongly and the 4th edition will take place this Sunday 21st September (http://qqc.tourney.cc). However, there will be a small change. It will be run in association with a new launch - The "Not Quite Pro" Cup (http://notquitepro.tourney.cc) which is for new / inexperienced / low skill Quake 3 players in order for them to have fun, improve and play against people at their own skill level.
Both tournaments should see competitive fixtures rather than several blow-outs until the final and should hopefully see more players coming back for more action!

After two successful outings, Quake Quick Cup III has arrived - Sunday 14th September! As usual, all are welcome to play, spectate, idle, chat and provide feedback. Find out more at http://qqc.tourney.cc/ and keep up to date in IRC #eSports.ie
Good luck, Have fun!!

The Grand Final of the NQR11 Bronze Cup will take place this Wednesday evening the 7th of May at 21:00 CET (8PM Irish Time) featuring Irish clan
 Nafianna and  Quakeklan
Earlier in the season NaFianna defeated Quakeklan in the group stages 2-0. The scores were as follows : DM3 (The Abandoned Base) was 179-124 and on DM2 (Claustrophobopolis) 164 - 152. Match Screenshots here: http://nqr.nu/nqr11/battle/428
They were very close maps with NaFianna just about coming out on top. Quakeklan have had plenty of practice since then though and have been tweaking their team play and tactics. NaFianna on the other hand have not been less active the past two weeks due to work commitments and real life getting in the way.
So the result is anyones guess and is sure to be a nail biter.
So best of luck to the Irish Lads tomorrow and if you can, try and spectate the match for some real great action.
The match will feature commentary from Kryddturken
Instructions on Viewing and Listening
To Listen to the commentary use:

The Summer edition of the European Quakeworld league kicks off in under 11 days.
It will run for just about 5 weeks so that it is out of the way before the summer really kicks in and people head away on holidays. There will be a rookie division again and the Irish Clan NaFianna.b team are looking for some summer recruits. So leave a message here or join #nafianna on http://www.quakenet.org

NQR news: Irelands only QW Clan NaFianna had a very successful season in the Nations Quake Rank Tournament. The clan was able to field two teams this season.
NaFianna.b topped the Rookie division in the group stages coming in ahead of 8 other teams to make the Semi final stages. However some connection problems hampered them in their clash against the Swedish clan Quakeklan.b in what was an epic battle. The match went down to the wire but in the end the lads went down 3-2. With their team play improving more than any other clan, another season should see them avoid any slip-ups to take the crown. They will compete for the 3rd place play off sometime this week against Comfortably Numb.
NaFianna.a topped the Bronze cup going undefeated in the process. With 10 wins out of 10 and a points difference of +2568 no team has come close to them apart from the Norwegian team Naim led by the formidable Arnette who has an average frag count of 71.9. Naim managed to run the lads very close even taking a map from them. However one player does not make a team and Naim were knocked out by QuakeKlan.a. NaFianna.a and QuakeKlan.a will now fight it out for the title of the Bronze Cup this week. QuakeKlan.a have been improving all the time so it should be a close encounter.
For more information, demos and results check www.quakeworld.nu

Just in from Itsinen:
At the moment Im quite surprised, Div1 seems to be quite alive after all. The best thing with it is that there are REALLY HOT playoff games already in the quarterfinals!
The Viper Squad won over Clan Malfunction quite easily but it wasnt clear until the end of dm2 that tVS actually would win 2-0. It was something like 3-4 minutes left when you could see that CMF were running out of time.
So this was a game worth watching!
Demos for that game are available here: http://www.challenge-tv.com/index.php?mode=demodetail&demo=34677 .
In the other Division 1 quarter final playoff we had Fragomatic taking on Firing Squad. In the first map Fragomatic were leading however and with 5minutes in all spectators were quite sure that Fragomatic was going to take it home.
In the decided we had ... dm2...
But then autotrack spotted 2 players of Fragomatic at quad and I were quite sure this was the end of [fs] in the map (FD really small). Somehow Keyser got that quad again and got the map under control (have no clue how he did it and [fs] won 2-1!
Demos for this game are available here: http://www.challenge-tv.com/index.php?mode=demodetail&demo=34678 .
Division Rookie is looking quite in-active atm, most of teams have lost some members due to inactivity so Comfortably Numb got a WO from Shortys. Shortys werent the only clan with the problem of inactivity, Misters were also forced to give a WO to the Mob of Oddballs. So the Rookie Division will feature Comfortably Numb vs the Mob of Oddballs in the final!
Division 5 have not played yet but Na Fianna and Vitun Kova Bosse have scheduled a game for this coming Sunday. Allans Vittnen seems active and I have spotted some READ members practicing so hoping for them also to schedule so we can this league finished off!
Division 4 Still waiting for Enemy Quad vs Chosen. Chosen practicing quite a bit at the moment. So I guess they are serious about getting into the finals. Hoping for a tight game there!
Divsion 3 appears to be idle as well or is it ? I have actually heard nothing about the clans who are into the playoffs, hoping they will play their games! Come on guys, make us a show or two
Division 2 is still inactive and rumours are floating about that it might be a Walkover for Easy Riders. This is not definite but its looking really bad :(
Division 1... The only quarter final game left is Koff vs Slackers 2. So who will win here or is this going to be a Walkover ?
The semi finals in DIV 1 will be: the Viper Squad vs Koff/Slackers 2 and Firing Squad vs Slackers.
Please NOTE, these matches will now be Best of 5 (b05)! So lots of frags and hopefully some drama also!
Also remember: http://schedule.qdrama.com -> Get the game scheduled and people will know when you will be playing and then we can also place bets!
Now happy fragging and Good Night

The only game in div1 that has been played was Slackers vs Suddendeath, with a dramatic 2-1 win for Slackers. The difference was 4 frags in the end with a very chaotic finale!
The other game that was played was Clan Metally Troopers vs Bear Beer Balalaika in division 4.
