While a formal announcement with the exact structure and complete rule-sets for this year's official QuakeCon tournaments is right around the corner, we wanted to provide the selected map lists so players can start practicing for the competitions.

For the QUAKE LIVE duel tournaments, the map pool will consist of:
Campgrounds (qzdm6)
Lost World (qzdm13)
Vertical Vengeance (qztourney4)
Furious Heights (qztourney7)
House of Decay (qztourney9)
Bloodrun (ztntourney1)
Trinity (qzca2)

For the QUAKE LIVE CTF tournament, the map pool will be:
Troubled Waters (qzctf2)
Iron Works (qzctf7)
Siberia (qzctf8)
Bloodlust CTF (qzctf9)
Courtyard Conundrum (qzctf10)

Map selection will be handled in a new way this year where each player or team will have the opportunity to select a map within the first two rounds of play - before any maps are discarded. Complete tournament details, format, rules and prize money will be announced on Monday.

are any TTP resident clans going to be competing? You guys practicing?

There are non-Quake related BYOC tourneys that are being run/managed by volunteers.
