  It's playoff time!  041213  
 

The regular season is now over and the playoffs have officially started. You have 2 weeks to play the first round matches (deadline Sunday 26th December), so get going!
You can use this thread to post your scheduled games and the crew will try to arrange qizmos for the more exciting match-ups.

All playoff fixtures are displayed on the playoff page. If you have java you can view the brackets for each competition on the bracket page. Quarter-final matches are best of 3; semis and finals are best of 5.

Finally, I'd like to say a big thank you to all clans who have played in NQR7. The activity level was well up on last season and although there are some unhappy people, I think this season has been largely a success. With one or two tweaks, this structure will be back for NQR8, along with our new website.

Good luck to all clans in the playoffs (except to any clan that I have to play against ;D) and to everyone else, watch this space; we have a special Christmas/New year treat for you coming up soon... ;)

EDIT: Playoff round 1 predictions on my column ---->

dak - 213.113.123.*** 041213 @ 12:59:12
I think this year kicked ass. Not too big divisions, plenty of space for
everyone despite that due to double divs, simple playoffs that doesn't put div3
players against div1 players.... Excellent work guys, two thumbs up from me!
     
pepin - 81.226.189.*** 041213 @ 13:03:10
yes this was a great season. Div2 was really balanced, no rape games at
all

     
Apollyon - 160.45.22.*** 041213 @ 13:17:54
division 3 was also very good

Nice stuff. :}

What i'm missing is promoting/relegating clans and
"wildcards" in playoffs where the winner of a lower playoffs (say div3) moves to
play in the upper playoffs (div2 in this example). But i realise that would take
a lot of time and isn't really doable :/
     
mushi - 193.136.77.*** 041213 @ 15:58:27
allright! great season!

clans! keep going

div 3B was exiciting .. only the end was a bit unclimatic .. here i thought
clans would play more exicting close matches and instead the final decision on
who gets to move on is made via the only WO in the division (by one of the clans
that took the longest to finally get off his ass). We had a fun and close match
against RD and I dont have anything against them per se, but that WO combined
with not playing the voided match against klatch - which was the only way for
them to get caught in the catch up week - kinda put a dent in an awesome
season.



Anyways next season I guess Dybbuk just has to win their
matches so that we are in without the mercy of other clans taking WO's or not
:-)
     
pattah - 212.202.29.*** 041213 @ 21:36:40
To clearify: RD has offered us to play this match several times throughout the
season, it has been us that denied them, since we wanted to play the match in
the catch-up week. Too bad that we fucked up to realize that the catch-up week
is kinda over already on Sunday, when gaz pointed us to the news. We have just
been busy, e.g. exams for me, and did not pay enough attention.



They
would have deserved the WO more than us. The WO we've applied for was against
Frutti Di Blazers but that is another story.

Vandal - 213.54.250.*** 041213 @ 23:39:06
thx for the clarification .. i just noticed that my post did come off as an
attack on RD. actually my initial intention was just to say that the only
dissapointment was that the 3B season didnt end in a high like I had hoped. Then
I went off on a tangent where I reared the ugly end of bitterness that should
have stayed well hidden in me ...



so sorry RD ... no insult or attack
intended

see you guys on the battlefield :-)

it would be kind of cool if div5 had a shorter season
schedule or started earlier than div4 and the same for div4 in regards to div3
and so on...that way playoffs could be "fa cup style" where the winners just
keep on going to the next round and higher division teams dont enter the
playoffs until later...the normal season would decide the seeding of these
playoff games so that the top team in div1 would play the worst team once div1
enter playoffs etc...would be kind of cool I reckon but yer kind of difficult to
accomplish
     
snake - 217.73.97.*** 041214 @ 10:09:17
NICE so now we can all start to get new members in our clans, just in time for
play-offs, just like FOM did when they recruited Valla from Freedom. Goodyy!!!
     
menth0l - 62.78.230.*** 041214 @ 11:47:43
Personally i think it's a good thing they got valla. Now f0m can really
challenge for the top spot. Maybe we'll see a season without Slackers or LA (in
some shape or form) winning. Imagine that :}
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041214 @ 11:50:59
They had member problems and added him before the end of the regular season;
what's the problem?
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041214 @ 11:51:22
CMF vs GTG in the final btw :E
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041214 @ 12:28:54
cmf vs la even :'(
     
snake - 217.73.97.*** 041214 @ 13:48:42
k we got some new members to add, hope there will be no problems to add them
before sundays deadline!!! :)
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041214 @ 13:50:16
Sunday's deadline was about 36 hours ago; there lies the problem :P
     
menth0l - 193.166.173.*** 041214 @ 13:53:35
I love deadlines. I like the wooshing sound they make as they fly
by.

snake - 217.73.97.*** 041214 @ 14:00:58
well, we are having troubles with members, so we need one more, else we have to
give all clans WO, :(
     
ParadokS - 80.62.110.*** 041214 @ 16:28:56
Now freedom is removed from the pages - can someoen clarify how many games valla
played for freedom before joining f0m, and if any at all - how on earth admin
crwe allowed him to join another team???
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041214 @ 16:38:28
1) He had played 3 matches (6 maps) out of a possible 9 matches. I.e.
33%.

2) fOm had 3 matches left to play when they asked to add him. If he
played all remaining group games then he would have only played in 66% of a
whole season.

3) fOm clearly had problems getting 4 players as shown by
their WO vs LA and unplayed games vs tot & hgc

4) when they made the request
the playoffs hadn't started and they hadn't used all their additions



so
what's the problem exactly?
     
mrlame - 81.227.129.*** 041214 @ 16:56:24
another "admin friend" decision not the first not the last =p
     
FlePser - 80.60.182.*** 041215 @ 05:12:30
I want to win div2, gaz is my friend. Gaz can you fix that?
     
FlePser - 80.60.182.*** 041215 @ 05:13:47
PS where are all the interviews :(?
     
-_- - 80.222.68.*** 041215 @ 08:47:09
basic swe whine going on again...4 words pretty much descripe swedish way of
quake: NEVER AGREE WITH ANYTHING
     
Link - 81.191.121.*** 041215 @ 08:50:56
Then make rules that dont leave space for whine :)
     
FlePser - 80.60.182.*** 041215 @ 09:40:23
Well then the whine is about the rules ofcourse!
     
snake - 217.73.97.*** 041215 @ 09:47:52
well ofcourse valla could join manu is an admin! You still havnt played your
last games FOM, so we all hope you get your asses down for some serious pwnage
     
gaz - 84.92.61.*** 041215 @ 09:55:00
Believe what you like but an admin has no input into decisions concerning his
own clan.
     
gaz - 84.92.61.*** 041215 @ 09:55:17
If anything we are more harsh towards each other's teams.
     
Archvile - 193.167.70.*** 041215 @ 11:24:37
Ahhh, this looks so much better. I was wondering where the whine is.
     
gaz - 193.195.82.*** 041215 @ 11:33:43
It's slightly to the West of Finland but slightly to the East of Norway, mainly.
:P
     
JKova - 192.89.153.*** 041215 @ 12:02:47
some of it in Norway, actually :)
     
Rage - 213.10.218.*** 041215 @ 12:58:51
lol @ archvile:)))
     
rx - 194.47.241.*** 041215 @ 17:00:51
snake, too bad your recruitment didn't come through. perhaps you can try out for
fom again next season. we are always looking for skilled players with the right
attitude.



good luck in the playoffs!
     
XantoM - 130.236.155.*** 041215 @ 17:10:12
poor snake, I was the only one who wanted him to join fom :<
     
menth0l - 193.166.173.*** 041215 @ 18:23:03
Yes poor snake.
     
angua - 82.182.32.*** 041215 @ 18:54:19
Poor little seals getting clubbed to death in the most inhuman way by the
satanic barbarians from norway so that their skins don't get bulletholes, say no
to norway, no to sealclubbing.
     
Horatio - 212.214.218.*** 041215 @ 21:33:19
the madness

     
Apollyon - 160.45.22.*** 041216 @ 11:41:33
Hm, dont know if this is a good deadline. Because first of all clans will just
scratch their balls coz it is two weeks time anyway. And then they will suddenly
realize it is christmans where they cannot play!
     
Horatio - 212.214.218.*** 041216 @ 13:15:52
i told you so
     
Max Rebo - 84.218.43.*** 041216 @ 19:53:42
Ye, seems as if LA - GO is already fated to be a no-go. Starplayer TCO leaves
Saturday morning and Nikke ain't got a comp. LA can't play before Sunday. It was
GG.
     
lavos - 193.166.80.*** 041216 @ 21:00:38
nqr admins, in next nqr, please put us (paranoia) in division where we can win
more than 1 map. thanks.
     
dak - 213.113.123.*** 041216 @ 22:29:24
Should be able to play it after christmas Max? Not like the next game is right
behind this one.... Hate seeing WO's in playoffs :(
     
Rage - 213.10.218.*** 041217 @ 17:58:10
Yeh wo's suck! I hope the admins will give you guys some slack and let you play
a bit later. Afterall I think we all just want to see al the games played fair.
wo's will spoit the fun and I really don't know why they would rush it that way.

Just make sure everything is finished before February.
     
Horatio - 212.214.218.*** 041217 @ 21:14:39
dak

(deadline Sunday 26th December)

i guess if ppl go away fro xmas they
prolly are away untill sunday/monday...
     
dak - 213.113.123.*** 041218 @ 04:54:34
Yes, but notice the 2 week gap before the next deadline is due. I'm sure that if
both parties can agree to a secondary date that would be possible, given that
the primary date was unplayable. Of course, in the event that the secondary date
cannot be played either, WO should be given to the clan that could play the
primary.
     
fisto - 213.101.121.*** 041218 @ 19:06:12
No WO in finals. Thats bad mkay.. Dont give WO mkay!
     
Horatio - 212.214.218.*** 041218 @ 21:58:08
TIMMY!!!!!
     
snake - 81.229.178.*** 041219 @ 14:44:09
rx plz let me join FOM plz, i would LOVE to be a part of your secret TP-meetings
etc, also i wanna be a part of your family so i can suck your cock like the rest
of your brothers =(
     
ScaryM - 213.88.177.*** 041219 @ 18:56:17
We can be much more precise than that when telling where the whine comes from,
just have Snake adding his adress here and we dont have to be affected as a
whole country anymore. His whine is at least as annoying to us in Sweden as it
is to ppl around the world protesting in unity aginst his continued existence.
And yes Snake.. ill be at qhlan.. plz gimme the landeath : )
     
snake - 81.229.178.*** 041220 @ 00:52:15
oki scary!!
     
Horatio - 212.214.218.*** 041220 @ 10:55:59
don?t do drugs
     
rx - 194.47.241.*** 041221 @ 03:31:16
again i'm sorry snake, you will have to go elsewhere to learn how to suck cock.
you should be able to get some pointers from any girls that you might know.

from all of us - a merry christmas and good luck in your cock-sucking
endeavours!
