What is Hoony Mode?
Description (c) cpma docs:
Hoonymode is a novel form of 1v1 play, loosely based on tennis rules.All in-game behaviour (weapons, physics, items, etc) remains the sameas standard DM: the change is in how the game progresses from one fragto the next.

During warmup, two spawnpoints are chosen by the players. One willtypically be a "stronger" spawn and the other "weaker". When the gamebegins, these are where the players will spawn, with the strong spawnconsidered the equivalent of having the "serve".

Each player death (regardless of source, i.e. a suicide is considereda kill for the opponent) is treated as a distinct point. After a pointis scored, play does not continue as in DM: instead, the players andthe arena are reset, and a new point is contested for. Players switchspawnpoints at this time, so the player who had the weak spawn for theprevious point now has the strong one, effecting a change of serve.Players are given a few seconds between points to reconsider strategiesetc.

Games are played to a point limit, with the clock not being a factor.A player must reach that limit and be at least two points clear ofhis opponent to win, i.e. in a 5-point game, 5-4 is a lead not a win:the player still needs another point to clinch it.
Implementation Specifics:

Players claim a spawnpoint by moving near it and using the spawncommand (via console/bind/etc).

Referees can choose spawnpoints for players by using "spawn <pid>"(Players can also use this when playing bots).

Players are not FORCED to choose a spawnpoint: spawns will be random (not recommended).
