It's been a long last week for the NQR staff and their helpers. Shortly before signups were supposed to open we found out that we had to change host, but luckily mli came to our rescue and offered to host NQR from now on. So before we say anything, we would like to express our gratitude to both gaz, who has been hosting NQR for years on end, and mli, our new host!

Laudations aside, let's see what's new in NQR11!
- After some talk and coordination with the FTE developers we have reached the conclusion that there's no reason to further exclude the users of QuakeWorld client FTE from the participation in NQR. That's right, FTE will be allowed in NQR 11 if started with the new accordant NQR ruleset! For more information, please check the "rules" section.

- As you may have heard by now, NQR11 will let clans pick between two different map-pools. There is the regular map-pool (DM2, DM3 and E1M2) as well as the extended map-pool (DM2, DM3, E1M2, CMT3, CMT4, MIDCIT, E2M2TDM). To see how this works, please read through the "rules" section.

- Fallbunny is desired to be turned ON unless clans agree otherwise. However, if the server selected for the game does not permit you to enable fallbunny or elect an admin, this is not enough reason to change server. The game will have to be played with fallbunny OFF. Again, the "rules" section is something you need to check out.

- There will, as expected, be a rookie tier. Everything else concerning the tiers/divisions will still have to be decided as it strongly depends on how many signups we receive.

We are still looking for more writers and commentators (not admins). Being a writer or commentator for NQR is not much of a burden as you will have no obligations or schedule to adhere to. Writers can write columns, predictions, or impressions when they want, however often they want. Be it once, twice, or ten times. Please think about it as we can always use a hand in making the league lively and exciting. It would be much appreciated.

Signups will be open until 23:59 CET on February 3rd, 2008.
