When your new to quake3 you should check some tutorials first to get into the code:
http://code3arena.planetquake.gamespy.com/
http://quakestyle.telefragged.com/tuts.shtml
http://www.quake3hut.co.uk/q3coding/

might wanna look into this one too, it shows some detail on how the game is walking through the code:

and here are some mods that have released their code:

The way I did it was to give each player a number of lives when they spawn (g_client.c ClientSpawn() function). Then when they die take a life away (g_combat.c playerdie() function) and put the player into a new spectator state when all their lives are gone. Then end the game if there's only one player not eliminated.

thats a good idea.
now im trying to find were to make the gametype visible so the user can choose it, i guess its done directly on the ui code or maybe find where its set on the server so i can force it to test it.
