SoundBlaster QuakeLive Free Play Ladder : LIVE

Welcome to the SoundBlaster CyberGamer QuakeLive Open Ladder Season 4!

Thanks to SoundBlaster and CyberGamer we are proud to announce the QuakeLive Open Ladder. The #1 ladder for Austrlian QuakeLive duelling! Our priority is helping you fit easily into this new competition, so we've coded a fully working ladder system to handle challenges and results. This ladder is an OPEN ladder which means that anyone can enter! The ladder will run for 3 months, giving you time to test your skills, improve and fight for a higher position! (or maybe #1!)

Prizes: The highest placing free account player will receive 1 year of pro subscription. We are currently sourcing a prize for first place.

Congratulations to the winners of the previous seasons:
Season 1: UNhoLeee
Season 2: UNhoLeee
Season 3: ... who will take the crown in the finals?
Season 4: ... can you make it to this seasons finals?

HOW TO SIGN UP:

Click create a team-
IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW. PLEASE READ.

Your team name is your QuakeLive account ID followed by your QuakeLive account status (.FREE / .PREMIUM / .PRO) followed by your state (or NZ).

So for example mine would be "haymo.PRO.NSW". (My QuakeLiveID is haymo, I have an upgraded PRO account, and i live in NSW.)

Another example might be "darkness666.FREE.VIC". (QuakeLiveID darkness666, with a non-upgraded/purchased account (FREE) and lives in VIC)

The account status is to show whether or not you can play premium maps (Aerowalk) and also whether or not you can spawn a server with a pro account. If you have not paid for an account through QuakeLive then you are FREE.
The state is so you/your opponent/the admin knows which server to spawn for you two to be given similar ping.


Details of the Open Ladder:

You can challenge teams 50% of your rank above you plus 2 positions.
If you win a defending match you are protected for 2 days (no one will be able to challenge you).
If you win a challenging match you are protected for 12h (no one will be able to challenge you).
If you lose a defending match you are vulnerable for 12h (you will be unable to challenge).
If you lose a challenging match you are vulnerable for 2 days (you will be unable to challenge).

- Anyone can enter the OPEN ladder.

- Matches can be played on either private or public servers.

Map Pool: (for the Open Ladder- Champions League is different)

The map pick process goes;
Challenging player eliminates first.
Defending player eliminates second.
Challenging player picks first map.

Note: Players without a premium or pro account automatically surrender their elimination to Aerowalk- as this map requires an upgraded account. When both players do not have an upgraded account then the Challenger will use his elim for Aerowalk.
