I'm using this thread although I'm not signing up but only discussing the tournament
...
I've tried to set up a GTV server for WQ3. GTV allows you to watch a game more or less like a TV broadcast. Either somebody has to be camera man or it follows somebody randomly.
It's like a relay. The real game has only the actual players and the GTV server connects as a spectator. All the real spectators connect to the GTV server - and there can be many more than typical Q3 slots. HLTV is something similar for CS in case you know that.
I thought this could have been useful. But the bad news: this system does not seem to work with duel maps
... if you are lucky it follows one of the duelists but as soon as somebody wants to be camera man the show is over... It sort of works with BR maps, though. I haven't tried DM maps yet. It's made for vanilla quake3 to begin with anyways.
gtv's website seems to be down. You can see a historic page there:

http://files.dev1ance.net/quake3/mods/gtv/If you want to try,
80.190.243.49:27960 is a real game server (not announcing itself to any master server)
80.190.243.49:27961 is a gtv server
If you connect to the latter, you will be dumped in wq_dry as a waiting room. Then you can use the console commands /gtv_gamelist and /gtv_watch 2 to watch the game on the former server. I'll leave these servers for a day or two. But in the end this is a non-post to begin with
