Quake Live Race Cup 2021
As some of you might have heard, QLWC is a spontaneous event basically identical to DFWC but for us QL players to have a bit of fun.
The community is quite small, at first we were not really planning to announce it anywhere outside of the Discord servers but after seeing that the word was spreading anyways I decided to create. In fact the Tournament already started with "round 0" which is a warmup map that can be played until 24th August 2021. This map does not count towards the rankings unless two players have the same points by the end of Round 4. Then it will be used as a tie-breaker map. The current prize pool is around 550 USD.
Each map will be playable for a week and you will have the opportunity to record your best run. There are servers setup specifically for the cup. Spectating is disabled in order to prevent route stealing, and player models are also turned off. Make sure to filter in server browser with race, lowgrav. The servers have !CUP! at the end.
Each map can be played in both VQL and PQL physics, with weapons or strafe only runs. That means there are four modes:

This year, we have @crazyal's crew that will review the demos on Twitch/YouTube after each round. So I am asking for top five to send submit the demos in the next 24 hours after the end of the round.
