With the sign-ups opened, we will try to lively divide players onto divisions they belong to in a special thread. Worth to mention is that this topic (
http://cluex.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3223) is opened for any kind of discussions and suggestions (whether to move players division or to keep him there) and is a draw of divisions placement.

The time between closing the registration and publishing the final groups is to be able to provide as fair and balanced schedule of the tournament. It's not long, because the players were already divided into divisions during the sign-up period.
Divisions and groups announced: 20.07.2014 (Sunday) at 20:00 CET
Since that moment you can arrange your matches. Try to play them with the correct schedule and in the right order, so we can avoid the situation a player cannot play a match, because he's occupied in the bigger part of a week. We highly recommend you staying on our IRC QuakeNet channel named #cK.ut for a quick contact. Also, feel free to use private message option to reach your opponent over the forums.
Group-stage begins: 21.07.2014 (Monday) at 00:00 CET
There are few rules you gotta follow, so your matches can be confirmed (there is no way to replay them).
First of all, matches in group-stage are based on best-of-3 system. A player, who is written upper in the schedule picks the map as first, the opponent picks another one (in any match there is no place for 2 same maps to be played) and they both gets played in the same order as picked. In case of a tie (1-1), third map is being picked in the way of elimination, where the player with less frags on both maps is starting the elimination (1st map eliminated by player with less frags, 2nd map eliminated by a player with more frags till 1 remaining).
Once you pick a map during the group-stage you cannot pick it once again versus a different opponent. This rule prevents playing the same maps over and over again. This rule does not apply for division zero if there will be more than 4 players in a group.
Every player needs to record a demo from their POV and after the match, to upload his gameplay in the match-report topic.
The server is being determined on the lowest possible ping difference between both players. If no solution can be found, an admin has to make a final decision.
After the match, one of the players (usually a winner) has to make a thread with screenshots, results and highlighted mappicks. We will try to update the results as soon as they are visible on the forum.
Worth to mention is that we are organising a frag contest, in which a winner is capable of winning $50. Rules are simple - if you feel like you made an awesome frag or created an outstanding action, feel free to share the timestamp from your demo in THIS thread (to be created) (we are also accepting already made short movies). Everyone can enter this contest, but the frag must have happened during the tournament. Do not give up too early, you can still be the winner in this tournament!
Group-stage ends: 10.08.2014 (Sunday) at 00:00 CET
Best 2 players of each group are passing into the next stage (playoffs).
Playoffs begin: 11.08.2014 (Monday) at 18:00 CET
The tournament structure changes into double-elimination bracket. This mean, once you lose against your opponent does not make you leaving the tournament. You can still fight your way to the final in the lower-bracket against the players who also lost. If you happen to lose once again in the Lower-Bracket, you're unfortunately out of the tournament.
First of all, matches in play-offs are based on best-of-5 system. A player, who won the coin-toss, picks the map as first, the opponent picks another one, player who won the coin-toss picks third map, fourth map is being picked by a player who lost coin-toss (in any match there is no place for 2 same maps to be played) and all of those get played in the same order as picked. In case of a tie (2-2), a fifth map is being picked in the way of elimination, where the player with less frags on both maps is starting the elimination (1st map eliminated by player with less frags, 2nd map eliminated by a player with more frags till 1 remaining).

12.08.2014 (Tuesday) 18:00 CET till the end => Division 4 playoffs (final part)
13.08.2014 (Wednesday) 18:00 CET till 21:00 CET=> Division 3 playoffs (1st part)
14.08.2014 (Thursday) 18:00 CET till the end => Division 4 playoffs (final part)
17.08.2014 (Sunday) 15:00 CET till the end => Division 0 playoffs
18.08.2014 (Monday) TBA till TBA => Division NA playoffs (1st part)
19.08.2014 (Tuesday) TBA till the end => Division NA playoffs (final part)
20.08.2014 (Wednesday) 18:00 CET till 21:00 CET=> Division 2 playoffs (1st part)

24.08.2014 (Sunday) 15:00 CET till the end => Division 1 playoffs
In case there would be a problem with any of those dates, please feel free to contact the admin. We want all the matches to be played and we might solve the problem out.
Players are obligated to be present on the IRC QuakeNet channel named #cK.ut to take part in the playoffs stage.
