Server and ping

• Players should have a ping to European servers no more than 110.
• First, players choose a server. Then players start bans/picks at https://quakepb.ru/

  If players can’t agree on what server to play, then choose as follows:

  Servers are selected according to the principle of home-away-home.
  Player 1 selects the Eu Central server and has ping 3 on it, Player 2 Ping 40 on Eu Central, Player 2 selects the Eu East server and has Ping 2, the Player1 has a ping 50 on Eu East.
  40-3 = 37 (Eu Central) and 50-2 = 48 (Eu East). The minimum delta will be the Eu Central server and will be Home.
  Accordingly, players play servers in this order: Eu Central – Eu East – Eu Central.
  The Away server player automatically gets First Seed at bans/peaks in Quakepb.ru.
  For BO1 according to the Home-Away-Home principle. The top seed gets Away. For example, Player 1 chooses Eu east with a ping of 20, Player 2 has ping 40 on Eu east. Player 2 chooses Eu central with a ping 15 & Player 1 has a ping 40 on Eu Central. In the first case, 40-20=20, In the second 40-15=25. The smallest delta will be Eu East – Home, players play on it & accordingly, Away gets highside in Quakepb.ru.
  If players play one server all maps, then the first seed choose the Random.

Technical defeats and replaying matches

• If during a game a player leaves the server and more minutes of the match time have passed, the match is replayed, the remaining time and the score is saved.
• If the player doesn’t appear for the game or can’t solve technical problems within 10 minutes – minus the map (you choose the skipped map in the quakepb.ru last and don’t play.). Doesn’t appear in the next 10 minutes – technical defeat.

Stream, record games, take screenshots – this will help in resolving controversial situations.
