Saturday Nitro Live was a tournament event that was held on every Saturday in August 2019, comprised of competitive matches of Nitro UHC on the Dogcraft server. The event was organised by prominent Nitro UHC players nossi345 and 
William278, who was also a member of the Cyberdog Events Committee. After five weeks, 
Gupta99999 was determined the winner after beating runner-up 
Xman404 in a final set.
Format
The tournament was comprised of four stages; Qualifiers, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals, with each stage being held throughout the month on Saturdays.
Qualifiers
In the qualifiers, players were split into groups based on their timezone. When registering, players could either choose to register on the 3rd or 10th of August.
Across three games of Nitro UHC, players had to compete in their group to earn the most points in order to qualify for the Quarterfinals. One point was earned for killing a player before deathmatch, two points were awarded for coming in second place and three points were awarded for winning a game.
Quarterfinals
Players who qualified were divided into groups of three for the quarterfinals. The players had to compete in a game of Nitro UHC and the top two players from each game would advance to the Semifinals.
Semifinals
The remaining players were placed into a 1-on-1 game. The winner would advance to the finals, while the looser would be eliminated.
Finals
In the finals, all remaining players were forced to compete for points in three games of Nitro UHC, just like in the Quarterfinals. After the two games were up, the top two scorers were made to compete in a best-of-three championship set, where the winner of the set would be declared the world champion.
History
The idea of a Nitro UHC tournament was proposed several times by various players since the creation of the minigame on the server in late-2016. However, it was not realized until the 20th of July, where prominent Nitro UHC players William278 and nossi345 discussed the formal possibility of hosting the tournament through the month of August, leading to the planning and development of the event.
The Nitro UHC matches would be live streamed and commentated on to further draw excitement and a set of rules was put in place to ensure the games would be both exciting to watch and fair for the competitors. Various guests would join William278 to assist in refereeing and commentating, including participants while they were not playing. For Semifinals and Finals, ReNDoG took over streaming the event live to hundreds of viewers as the tournament came to a conclusion. A special video highlighting the best moments for the tournament and advertising the finals was also produced.
