.: rules


Tournament system
  • Season: 6 weeks group stage (no catch up week)
  • Playoffs: 2 weeks, top 4 teams from each division (except division 4). To separate teams with equally many points, MW, ML & +/- are used (in that order).
  • Play-offs will be single elimination
  • Third place deciders will be played

  • In Division 4, top 2 teams will go directly to semi, 3-6 will play to go to semi


Team Restrictions
  • Player limit of 10 players per team
  • Addition/Swaplimit: 3/season
  • A player can only play in 1 team at the same time
  • No team may add/swap more then three players
  • Teams can not add new players once regular season is over
  • Players should use the nick they are registered with on the EQL website
  • All players have to be approved by an admin
The player limit is added to increase activity on the scene.
Players that are in "lineup 3" should reconsider playing in another team.


Maps and match procedure

Map pool
  • Claustrophobolis (dm2)
  • The Abandoned Base (dm3)

Maps to win
  • Base groups: 2 (Best of three)
  • Playoffs: 2 (Bo3) Finals: 3 (Bo5)

Match procedure
  • First map is decided by coin toss (/cmd rnd Team1 Team2)
  • The winner of the coin toss decides who picks first
  • If a decider map is needed the team that picked last, toss first
  • Match duration should be no longer than 2 hours
No map can be played more than once.

Match Reporting
  • In order for a match to be valid you'll need to have screenshots from each played map
  • If possible please provide log files from the match


Scores and ranking

Points in Group Stage
  • Each map win gives 1 point
  • Each played match gives 1 point (activity point)

Walkover
  • Teams not playing their games will get point/s deducted.
If a team has already played against one opponent, but not another, the new opponent might get a regular WO, and the team giving WO will get 1 point deducted.

To make it as fair as possible in these kind of situations, admins will look into which solution is best in every case.

Allowed clients
  • ezQuake 1.9.3 stable (build 2572)
  • ezQuake 2.0 Stable

Exceptions can be granted

  • For routing, Qizmo 2.91 is allowed, prefered method is however the new QWfwd proxy

Failure to follow these restrictions can result in the player or team receiving harsh penalties such as a timed or permanent ban from EQL.

Warnings and disqualification
  • 2 warnings will result in disqualification
To retain order in the league and prevent teams from cheating effectively we may issue warnings to teams if they misbehave in some way.

Other offences
  • Having one or several players intentionally drop from server during a game without replacing them
  • Playing in more than one team, or playing under someone else's name in another team (mercing)
  • Fakenicking to get into a division where you don't belong
Most of these cases result in a ban of atleast 1 season.


Servers and settings

Server Settings
  • Timelimit: 20 minutes
  • Overtime: 5 minutes if match is a draw
  • Deathmatch mode: 1
  • Teamplay mode: 2
  • Spawn mode: Either KTX/KTX2 Respawns or KTPro Spawn is to be selected
  • Powerups: ON
  • Discharge: ON
  • FPS: A max of 77 fps is allowed.
  • KFjump: Toggled OFF (command = tkfjump)
  • Airstep: OFF
  • Jawnmode: OFF
  • Fallbunny: ON (if server allows)
These should be the basic 4on4 settings on all modern servers, but make sure to check.

Server and minping
  • Choice of server should be suitable for both teams
  • If the teams can't agree on a server, clientside minping can be used (/cl_delay_packet xx)
  • The value for the minping must not be higher than the lowest pinging player in the highest pinging team, unless both teams agree otherwise
If the team with lower ping wants, they can reroute via proxy to raise their ping.

Spectators
  • A team can require that all players use qtv to prevent ghosting (nospecs)

Server problems
  • The current map should be played to the end, no mather the servers condition
  • Admins will decide if a map should be replayed on another server
If a server gives 2 or more spikes that result in 100% packetloss for all players for more that 10seconds, the map should be replayed on another server if the teams does not agree to the score/situation.


The EQL rules is based on NQR, Challenge-Smackdown and previous EQL rules combined.
