Xonotic Defrag World Championship 2023

Hello Xonoticians!
We proudly present you the Xonotic Defrag World Championship 2023! XDWC is a CTS tournament where we invite everyone to join and have some fun.

FAQ

What is Defrag?
In Xonotic it is played in the CTS (Complete the Stage) mode using the XDF physics set. The goal is to complete a map as fast as possible.

How does XDWC work? (detailed rules further down below)
- Every player can join it at any time!
- 5 (or 6) unique and unreleased maps will be played
- Your time and ranking will be converted into a score for each map
- Player with the highest score after all maps will be crowned as the Winner

How do I get better?
There are two tutorial streams available as VODs:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crEfpslf-g4
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_-t_Z0Z2ic

Don't be afraid to even ask other players directly! Usually, they can tell you where you can improve or what you're doing wrong.
A good server to practise is "exe.pub | Relaxed Running | CTS/XDF". Detailed results here: https://xdf.gg/
Records from "Xonotic DeFrag - Join/Run now! - balance changes [XDF]" server can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wiAbR...g2LnhjU7zw

• You do not need to register beforehand to take part in XDWC!
  
• You automatically join the tournament by setting a time on one of the servers listed below.
