Submitting demos:
Please include your nick, mapname and time in the demoname. If you want to go for the style contest, please indicate this in the demoname as we'll only watch the demo with your best time. Try to keep the demos short for our convenience. You can use a bind like:

bind <key> "stop;spec;join;record <demoname>"

to record a new demo each run (just don't forget to save the good runs!). Demos should be uploaded here

Rules:
*No time resets allowed.
*sv_pure 1 on. (don't care about this unless you are on a dedicated server)
*Standard Warsow physics.
*No GB-jumps allowed.

Timezones:
CET=GMT+1
EST=GMT-5

Prizes:
The honour! There'll be one overall champion and one for the coolest demo. The coolest demo can be an imaginative route, a general cool style or just having lots of luck! The overall champion will be the one with the lowest total time.

Last words:
We encourage people to keep their demos and times for themselves. It'll be so much more fun and exciting with people eagerly waiting for a score list to be uploaded! Besides, you don't want anyone to steal your route, now do you?
