After the results of the votes are there (see here and here) the maps Downer and Runningman were removed from the 1on1 mappool.

For open challenges that use one of these maps: if both players agree you can still play the removed map(s). However, if one player disagrees, the player who chose the removed map has to choose a new map from the pool. In this case, please tell in the report or in the comments which map you played so that I can update the map in the matchreport.

For everyone who is looking for more competition in 1on1 nexuiz, you should have a look at the Tourney page. The signups have just opened until 7th of September for two Nexuiz 1vs1 tournaments, one dedicated to NA players, one to EU players. If you feel like it, visit the page, read the rules page and the How does this work page, and if you like it -> sign up

A new version of the tourney mod, v0.6, has been released. Get it here! Ladder server admins, please update your server. You only have to replaces progs.dat and tourney_vars.cfg and restart your server.

Beside bugfixes the update adds a new variation of the overtime mode by introducing the variable timelimit_maxovertime_nosuddendeath, which modifies a game which is in overtime so that it doesn't end with the first frag, but after the extended timelimit has been hit.

To make the ladder servers ready for the two upcoming Nexuiz 1vs1 tournaments (see here and here) this requires that the 1on1 ladder servers update their 1on1_ladder_dm.cfg. The changes in this config file are these:

alias overtime_enable "timelimit_maxovertime 2"
alias overtime_disable "timelimit_maxovertime 0"
set sv_vote_commands "chmap gotomap timelimit g_shootfromcenter g_shootfromeye nospectators lockteams unlockteams overtime_enable overtime_disable cointoss sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_red sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_orange sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_off"

The 1on1 servers need these aliases to be votable, so that the players can play both ladder matches and tournament matches on the servers. As the 1on1 ladder allow matches to be a draw, while the tournament does not, the players simply have to vote for the respective overtime mode before they begin their ladder/tournament match.

The cointoss command will simulate a real-world cointoss. Vote for "cointoss", and you'll get either "head" or "tail" (randomly).

As there seem to be quite a few players who'd like to the maps Downer and Runningman to go, they are given the opportunity to vote whether to keep these maps in the pool or not. Head over to the voting threads in the Alientrap Forum here and here. Make sure that you vote before the end of august!

Due to request of the community to extend the timelimit to 20 minutes we've updated the 2on2 ladder rules accordingly.

All 2on2 ladder server admins: please make sure your server has set the timelimit_override variable to 20 !
