I think I have been misunderstood. It's what Erock says, and no, Harry, I'm not talking about the unreleased deathmatch mod, I'm talking about the race mod.
You see, the race mod has a "deathmatch" mode, that is, when the map doesn't have checkpoints and respawn is disabled, so the last player alive is declared the winner. There are some popular dm maps such as the pushover series that you can check.
Now, in the server we were playing (littlewhittey's) we were about 20+ dead players, and 2 more alive, when suddenly one of them timed out. The server is supposed to declare the last player alive the winner, but it didn't, the map was still going on, and the last player had to kill himself in order to finish the map.
