Ok here goes, by Zero’s initiative, say hello to AP Cup 2010
The cup will start at Sunday 11th July (Around 17:00 GMT+1) and continue from there on. There will be made 5 maps only for the purpose of this cup. Each map will run for 3 days. Meaning first map will start 11th July at 17:00 and end Wednesday 14th July at 17:00, at which point the 2nd map will start running etc. These maps will run on a separate server, which will run only one map at a time with all voting disabled and so forth.
During the game on the server, no records will be shared by the game. In other words, no one will be able to see any of your records until the map has finished running, and spectating will be disabled together with players being visible. The records will be saved as usual, and made public after each map is finished. The records will be added to a separate database, in other words it won’t have anything to do with the current AP records.
The point system will work a bit differently from how it normally does. Every map will be as if it had 100 records, so #1 will get 100 points, #2 99 points, #3 98 points and so forth. This is done to make every map count the same when it’s all added together.

Note to anyone: I’d prefer it if you didn’t place any of the cupmaps on your servers before they’re done running on the cupserver, but I won’t enforce it. Instead, I’ll say that anyone who wants to keep their route secret shouldn’t play this on any servers besides the cupserver. But, at least you streaming-server-admins, don’t upload this until it’s done cup-wise, this way the times and such will stay private. exciting :lol:
The next map starts at 17:00ish on Wednesday 14th July
And, in a futile attempt to prevent stupid questions: All voting, record sharing, spectating, weapons, etc, is disabled on the cupserver

TL;DR Advanced Physics Trickjump cup kicked off today!
Advanced physics is like how trickjumping was in quake 3, so you can gain speed on flat ground and you can control your movement in the air making a 180 possible without loosing speed.
