NQR9 has, thus far, received 3 signups from North American clans. The NQR crew would like to make it clear that we welcome these clans from the other side of the Atlantic and we hope that they will enjoy their stay.

However, we would like to stress at this point that NQR, in spite of its ambiguous name, is a European league. This means that North American clans should not expect special favours regarding servers or timezones.

Efforts should be made to find the most fair European servers for games betwen North American clans and European clans. In most cases the most fair-pinging servers will be those in the UK. Use Quakeservers.net for a comprehensive list of UK 4on4 servers. Please note that the normal minping rules apply for these games as well.

Similarly, North American clans competing in NQR9 should not expect European clans to confirm to North American timezones. The accepted time period for games is "sociable evening hours according to Central European Time" (to be added to the rules). European clans are welcome to be flexible and play after midnight in order to meet time requirements of North American clans, if it is convenient for them. Ultimately, North American clans should be prepared to play during the European evening, i.e. during the North American afternoon period.

The Crew intends to make a small 'special favour' to the NA clans that are in the Bronze Cup, and place them in the same group so that they at least have one low-pinging match. We will also endeavour to place other clans that are able to play in the UK, such as Portuguese and other Western European teams, in this group.

If any of the North American clans that have signed up for NQR9 have issue with the above, please contact the crew to discuss it.
