Soonish

indeed

EQL 11

... EQL season 11 is coming up. As it has been the last seasons and years the EQLs played during fall have non-tb3 maps, while the ones played springtime will be tb3 (seasons are still 50/50 tb3/kenya as we've said before). In the plans for the upcoming season we have also decided that we will try to make it a little bit longer than last season. We will therefor also try to get a small amount of divisions (3), but the final division amount will of course be decided in the end by the amount of clans signing up.

Signups will open soonish, while we are hoping to get contacted by people willing to commentate the upcoming games aswell as write previews and overviews of the upcoming season (when we have divisions ready etc).

Hope you enjoyed EQL10 aswell as we hope you to enjoy our upcoming season!

Division 1 final!

...
Sunday the 10th @ 20CET is the plan for it to be played. If there will be new information we will update it in the topic of #eql.qw and also add a change here!

Playoffs

1st round (semis) should be played sunday night or before it. 2nd round before the 20th (also sunday).

So get your games played!

As for Div4 who has one more game to be played: 1st round before sunday, 2nd round (semis) deadline on wednesday, the final/bronzegame on sunday!

You may also play 2 games on sunday, so contact your enemies about your upcoming games already (yes, you will have to contact 2 enemies). Remember guys, it's christmas soon and we want these played!

Working on playoffs bracket

indeed

THIS IS IT!

For the past 5 days, we've had an open discussion regarding the division structure, we have now made the final divisions from input given to us by players.

As you might notice, we've switched from last seasons 3 divisions to using 4, this is to better fit in the season with the schedule.

Please take notice of the changed map pool, and how to handle map picking in the rules.

A new feature on the site is that clans can now schedule their games, so please make sure that you check the site for requested dates from your opponents. We will use these suggestions for possible walkovers (hopefully that won't be needed). Also it will make it easier for spectators to follow the league.

For teams without an active irc channel, please be available in #eql.qw on Quakenet.

Other than that, have a great time participating in EQL10.

You can start playing your matches!

Regular season will end December 6th.

An update before we start

Here is what this update is about, we currently have 4 teams that we do not know the status of.
BaconMen, lacking players
Suddendeath ll, lacking players
refuse to lose, no players at all
lamoboti, unknown

If the teams mentioned wants to participate in the season, they need to contact an admin ASAP!

Secondly, since I mentioned the public draft of the not final divisions, there is of course a reason. We would like input from you the players (Yes thats right), unfortunately we can't guarantee that all your wishes will be heard. Time is an issue and we would like to get the season started as soon as possible.
If you look at the current divisions, then you can see that we need to move teams from Division 2 into Division 1 and Division 3 to even out the number of teams.

So if you want to give your input, you should head over to this news item at QuakeWorld.nu - But please keep it civilized and save the whine and drama for the actual season. And bear in mind that we are just trying to make a fun league for everyone who wants to participate.

All comments in this news item should be about the colors of the player list, and nothing else.

EQL 10 Maps

... the non-tb3 maps. So we put up another one. The results of the second poll was that our maps along with tb3 this season will be CMT1b and CMT3. Now that there is no more CMT4 this season this might also mean that CMT3 will be played some more. The soonish ending signups has so far gotten 29 clans innit.

EQL10 - Signups Open!

After a long summer break, following the very active 9th EQL season, we are now ready to open up the signups for this upcoming season. We want the season to start as soon as possible, that means a short signup period, as signups will close October 20th.

For the same reason, we haven't made any big changes to the rules, however the final map pool is still under discussion, and we will issue a statement with the selected map pool shortly.

We hope to see a lot of teams back for another season of EQL, and we are looking forward for a fun and active season.

Before signing up remember to read the rules.
