this one has cash prizes, so it could be very interesting. its run by zommy of thrustworld. even if you're not interested in the q3 league, its worth looking into the services for a variety of games promised by thrustworld, including leauges, ladders, clan server booking and rental. heres what zommy had to say:
thrustworld (read for more information) are announcing that they will be launching a new quake3 tdm (and ctf/ra3/cs – more on these later). the leagues will be run in the now standard divisional based system, 2 x 20 minute maps, running on a home/away basis (each clan picks a map at the start of the season). there will be a prize purse of around £5000 per month, divided up between q3/cs etc. for more information regarding the league and to provisionally signup email zommy at zommy@thrustworld.net.



also, if your interested in signing up for a beta account which entitles you to one month of free gaming please do so here.

With that kind of prize money, theres gonna be a lot of teams entering. Hey, I might even dust off my Q3 Railgun myself to play in it.

i was a bit concerned about that... i was thinking that only clans like 4k would be getting any money, but Zommy said that it would be spread over the divisions, so that leads to another problem... good clans will want to play in lower divisions so that they can win and get the cash. But zommy assured me that they would put a lot of work into the seeding process, which could benefit the league itsself, allowing for more balanced divisions. £5000 sounds nice, but i wonder how much of that will be allocated to the q3 tdm league.. should be enough to get you a clan server for awhile at least

might be small, but per month? so they give a prize to the top clan per month? Good way to get people to keep playing.

5k ain't much. You got to remember that that has to be split between other leagues and mods too. CS/UT/Q3/Tribes etc. Taking that into account plus the division of money between clan members its not a lot.

Also it will be hard to sort out who can play. For talks sake what if fh entered and killy paid thrustworld but lorc didn't? Will lorc be eligible to play still?

Also is it really worth it for players who might only get 1/2 games a season

ya thats true.. thats why i wouldn't enter FH into a pay to play league... since a lot of our players are semi-active.

It would cause a lot of complications.. because the dishonest clans would register 4 players, and each week would alias whichever 4 players they have available to use the nicks of the registered players.

beta accounts are free though..

I've not read the blurb yet, but its charged per player on the pay2play is it? Maybe it'd make more sense to pay to register a clan for the league instead. And yeah the prize breakdown will work out as not alot for each member (especially in a clan the size of BiO or HAT), maybe they should pool it for clan business. What the clan wins, the clan keeps; pays for servers/ pay2play leagues, days out for the kiddies etc.
