+The Challenge Pro Mode (CPM) project was created by Richard 'Hoony' Sandlant in May 1999 
+(when the 'Q3test' was released) after he realised that Quake 3 Arena was going to have a 
+lot of "newbie-friendly" features and after John Carmack admitted a more challenging 
+version might be better for professional gamers (which is where the name "pro mode" came 
+from).
+
+The Challenge Pro Mode's goals were, first and foremost, to make a more exciting and 
+challenging game to play and we hoped that this would help advance Q3 into a professional 
+sport. Along the way we made a choice between making only small conservative changes to 
+Q3A, and making the changes that our design team recommended. We took the path of making 
+the changes that our design team felt were necessary.
+
+Our approach was to form an international project team and to separate "Design" from 
+"Programming". While the programming team might have input into the design process they 
+didn't make final design decisions - that was left to a team of experienced Quake players 
+who tested changes using a "tweaks" mod. The design team consisted of players with a mix 
+of competitive experience across Q1, Q2, Q3 and even UT.
+
+Before the design team began their work we asked the community to 'brainstorm' a list 
+(called the "candidates list") of all the possible changes they would like to see (some 
+were contradictory). We also asked noted commentators (pundits) in the community what they 
+thought might be best. The designers took note of all of these suggestions, and used a 
+long process of tweaking and testing to develop the Challenge Pro Mode design. The team 
+released two public betas of their work for feedback and input from the community.
+
+And that is pretty much how the project team has worked ever since. The result is a 
+gameplay design which we think is "finely tuned".
