Hey guys. The groups have been set up and you can now start playing your games!
Keep in mind that you will have to play quite a few teams stronger or weaker than yourselves. For some clans it will obviously be quite tough, but on the other hand you could see this as a great experience and a worthy challenge. And as we all know, the best way to improve is to play a superior clan.
As you can see, the teams were spread into 3 main cups, each one being subdivided into two groups rather than four; Every clan thus gets to play quite a lot of games. Having said that, we wish you all good luck! If there remain any questions or problems, don't hesitate to contact us on #nqr on Quakenet.

The map-pools are as follows:

Gold: TB3 Only
Silver: TB3 Only
Bronze: TB3 Only

Fakeshaft is allowed in all of the divs.

Time for div whine \o/

asdf in bronze? I'll be surprised if they drop a map.
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070205 @ 11:28:30
we will discuss the placement of asdf once more before generating fixtures.
     
killy - 212.17.40.*** 070205 @ 11:46:06
I have to say the divisions look good and I'm glad that it is just tb3 for everyone.
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070205 @ 11:59:25
fyi: there might still be a few adjustments in all divisions later on during the day so divisions aren't final until fixtures are up.
     
Term - 213.50.38.*** 070205 @ 12:05:40
Yeah, I was just going to comment on this. Any more changes then Rot<->Hips yet?

And what about letting us know the result from the map and fakeshaft votes?
     
Ari - 81.197.179.*** 070205 @ 12:27:01
divisions are looking fine imo, i think the only clan misplaced atm is asdf :E
     
Åke Vader - 193.11.91.*** 070205 @ 13:16:07
Are you sure Ari!? :S
     
Ari - 81.197.179.*** 070205 @ 15:21:06
hmm, well, RoT at its current state doesnt belong to gold :E but i thought that was taken care of.. And i think that HIPS deserve a spot @ gold cause imo they can take on and win many clans there. And no point putting Shadow Minions to bronze cause they would rape the weaker clans there :E And what comes to urak, gold for them absolutely even though riker whined @ #nqr, but placing a team which has players like riker and inferno to silver div would be just ridiculous. over and out

Welcome Fakeshaft to your first offical appereance in Quakeworld History :))
     
Defcon 5 - 85.124.4.*** 070205 @ 19:42:19
Tb3 only :X Where are the open minded qw clans out there ?
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070205 @ 20:18:34
adjustments so far: eläintarha drops out - hippushnik up from silver. asdf takes hippushniks place in silver.
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070205 @ 22:13:02
weekly fixtures are set and divisions are final.

results from the votes will be published soon (most likely tomorrow).

blaps - 217.13.241.*** 070206 @ 10:03:16
For fakks sake!

How the hell can sm be put in silver? We are really not good and fairly inactive as well. The only victories sm has ever taken is more or less only because of mm (and to some extent mooseman). They now play in SM-M and we won't stand a chance to any of the clans in silver. My guess is that morituri is one of the bottom clans in silver div and we got raped by them just the other day (the only recent comparison I have). My guess is that we have the standard of clans like Jägarna, PHC, OldOnes and Klatch! And to sum it up: We are to fucking OLD to be raped, that's for up'n'commers, we're just on the downslope so just let us have some fun!

hahah blaps :D
"We are to fucking OLD to be raped, that's for up'n'commers"

What about anza then, he's 43 now and still gets raped in every game he plays :E
     
Hooraytio - 212.214.218.*** 070206 @ 17:26:14
im not even gonna whine about csn in silver.
we would prolly rape 90% of the bronze teams so its perhaps better to put ut in silver.
ill be glad if we win a game or two
gl to all teams!
     
B1aze - 212.5.80.*** 070207 @ 08:17:58
Nice groups.
Clans without any 4on4 practice are in silver cup.
Heh i think subzero and mudak_style not going to take more that 30 frags vs any silver clan.
     
hedfuk - 194.109.242.*** 070207 @ 17:29:52
Thank you for placing ROT in gold, and placing hips in silver, who defeated us in the eql finale.
Instead of looking at individual names you should really look at how they perform in a team.

     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070207 @ 18:00:18
hedfuk: first of all, hips are in gold just as you are. also, two ROT members were asked if they were fine with gold and they were.

hedfuk - 194.109.242.*** 070207 @ 19:03:08
Yes now they are sorry...but the initial seeding was hips silver...rot gold. That is a bit strange isn't it?
We didn't make the initial seeding. About the 2 rot members agreeing, ok fine so they did, and others who were not online at that time did not, but ok thats our problem now. At our current state ( inactive members ) we are not up for this level.
This will be no fun for us nor the team playing against us.
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070207 @ 22:00:56
actually, initially hips were gold and you silver. you really need to check your facts before whining. after all you had 14-5 map wins in eql4 and were clearly div 2 material. i think you always have been placed at least one division to low. anyways, eläintarha dropped out and we needed one more team in gold (div 1-2 merged) and what better team than the eql4 div3 finalists (again: who also had 14-5 map wins). if your situation has changed and your not div2 material anymore, your teammates should have mentioned this when i asked them about gold. anyways, case closed from our side. do your best in gold and i'm sure you'll do fine and have fun while doing it.

speaking of fact checking:rot had 13-4 map wins and jugs had 14-5, sorry! :)
     
Hooraytio - 212.214.218.*** 070208 @ 10:24:19
afetr checking what players are in mudak style and divsubzero i have to agree with blaze. these clans aint gonna do many frags in silver
     
djevulsk - 130.235.87.*** 070208 @ 11:24:51
concerning div sub zero: since bronze was/is overcrowded (12/12 teams, silver has 10/10) moving teams down wasn't an option. numerous teams in bronze were asked if they could willingly switch to silver but none agreed to it and since sub zero was initally placed in silver we decided to keep it that way. hopefully they'll do allright.
     
B1aze - 212.5.80.*** 070208 @ 13:39:26
As i know few players from clan already refuse to play nqr in silver cup :( .
Cos it not funny at all.
     
VVD - 85.21.75.*** 070208 @ 19:18:09
League for admins or for players?
Let silver will have 9 and bronze 13. Who care? Do you want equal by size divs or equal by skill?
IMHO: 3 divs is too small, at least 4... :-(
gold: div1 + top div2
silver: low div2 + div3
bronze: div4 + top div5
newbie/nonprofy: low div5 + div6
     
Hooraytio - 81.226.200.*** 070208 @ 20:20:48
sounds good VVD
     
killy - 212.17.40.*** 070209 @ 10:49:34

Leo (and other Psycho Farmers): we (SSC) can play e3m7 vs. you in a prac anytime anywhere*!

djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070209 @ 12:56:55
wow, i can write a whole essay on this subject but i'll try to keep it short (and note that i speak for myself, more than a nqr admin this time):

some teams will always be misplaced, even if (or especially if) there are more divisions. look at every season of nqr/eql, or just eql4 for that matter. some clans will only win 1 single map and some clans will go undefeated, that's just the way it is.

one of the reasons of merging divisions is simply because we, for example, don't have 10 or so div1 teams - we have 5ish. a truly even division of 5 is not much fun, is it? by splitting them up in two groups, the not-div1-clans in gold (including my own) will have 2-3 impossible games, but is that really that bad? your suggestion div1 + top div2 has been tried and doesn't really work since the skill difference is huge. i believe (who knows before it's been tried?) that merging will be good for the scene if it somehow get clans to play clans they don't normally play (instead of refusing which imho leads to inactivity). i chose div1 as an example as it is familiar to everyone, but the same goes for practically all divisions.

there's MANY reasons to care about the size of groups. here's a few:
evenly sized groups are extremely important as most teams should have, theoretically, the same chance of reaching playoffs. top4 playoffs in a group of say 13 is a lot different than in a group of 9. I know there's many ways to deal with this, but we've chosen 3 weeks of playoffs which means quarter-semi-finals (that means 8 teams in playoffs).

another reason is that a season shouldn't be to long since clans disbandon, go inactive etc quite often. 8 weeks + playoffs as it is now is quite long and managing 12 games (groups of 13 as you suggest) in 8 weeks is really pushing it for some clans.

also, we feel the need try something new instead of eql's system of div1-6 (or nqr's, you know what came first). hopefully players can try to stay open minded and atleast try it out. if it doesn't work out i can guarantee i (and everyone else involved) will do their best to improve both the placement of clans and the structure of the tournament.

i'm not really interested in a long discussion here so this will basically be it for me (if i haven't forgot something vital). i hope we can focus on playing our games (and enjoying ourselves while doing it). there'll be plenty of time for discussions afterwards. then we also know what didn't turn out so good instead of assuming everything sucks in advance.

of course the league is for players. claiming that we do this for our own sake is quite ridicilous imho. if you feel however that you have great ideas and a lot of time to give to the scene, feel free to apply as a new admin. we need you!

     
B1aze - 212.5.80.*** 070209 @ 14:11:16
Dje, ur point is clear but look at this:
If you missplaced for example DOT to div1, you will not get better size of groups, you will get one more DROPPED from nqr clan. Cos team haven't motivation to play official matches and pracs.
     
djevulsk - 85.24.189.*** 070209 @ 15:04:49
our initial assessment of div sub zero was borderline div4 which translates into silver cup. if they however aren't div 4 quality and end up being one of the misplaced teams that's regrettable. we hope that teams that might have tough season ahead of them first of all starts it and of course, finishes it. many clans have ended dead last (which is something sub zero have yet to do) without dropping out, let's hope this is one of those clans.
     
Hooraytio - 81.226.200.*** 070210 @ 01:10:59
Highschool dropouts ftw \o/
     
znappe - 213.112.160.*** 070211 @ 16:19:41
u aint gonna get better by playing div666666.. so can everyone just play their games and stfu plez.
     
VVD - 85.21.75.*** 070212 @ 15:50:00
> you will get one more DROPPED from nqr clan
AFAIK, one more player was dropped from -1.

2djevulsk: How we can be div4 if we has only 2 players, who play 4on4 in leagues?
Our duel skill can't help us with ping 50+.

Beautiful start playing 4on4! Thanks to admins! :-\
