Xonotic Defrag World Championship 2019

Hello Xonoticians!
We proudly present you the Xonotic Defrag World Championship 2019! 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 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".

Rules

• Each Map (aka. Round) will be played for 1 week (see Schedule) on special servers, which are going to run 24/7.
  
• 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.
  
• You do not have to take part in every Round, you can join each Round seperately as you like it. However, you won't be able to submit a time for a round that has already passed.
  
• Your best time in the server rankings will be your time for the Round. The time must be set on an official server (see the list below)! You can NOT run a map locally and submit a time.
  
• Weapon projectiles may not affect any runs other than the one they were fired in. Violating this rule makes your run invalid.
  
• By joining the tournament you agree that we store your username and your results in our databases.
  
• Players who have disabled stats tracking are not eligible for the rankings.
  
• We revised the scoring system to make it simpler: SCORE = 1000 * (time_of_the_fastest_competitor/your_time) * 0.988 ^ (pos - 1)
  
  The differences from the previous formula:
  
  1. The first multiplier (referred as c1 in the previous formula) gives additional boost for the winner of the round. Previosly winners got fixed 1000 points, now you can get points for every additional 0.01s you are ahead of the 2nd place! For the 2nd place and below this multiplier stays the same as before.
  
  2. We replaced complicated computation of c2 with an elegant exponential expression 0.988 ^ (pos - 1). This is easier to calculate and produces more smooth curve than the original "jumpy" method.
