Sign Ups Underway!
General Layout
This will be a multi-clan, bracket style, single elimination clan war tournament. I am guessing the challenge will consist of 30-40 clans (possibly more). We will take however many sign up as long as they meet eligibility. Clans will be seeded before the tournament starts. Brackets will be a mix of seeded and random. Top 16 clans will be seeded. All others will be randomized. If we have more than 32 clans sign up, then as many play-in games matches will take place as we need to get a 32 clan bracket by the randomized clans. The winner of the finals will be the winner of the Conqueror's Cup. The loser of the finals will take 2nd place. The two clans who lose the semi finals will play a clan war the same as the finals for 3rd place.
Seedings
After sign-ups conclude, seedings will be given out. The seedings will be determined by the latest F400 Rankings found here http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 8&t=174424.

Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
Any deemed abuse should be brought to the attention of the Cup Organisers immediately.
The 12 hour Fog of war rule will not be enforced automatically. If two clans wish to use it (as a gentleman's agreement) then this must be done in advance of the round in which they play one another (there will be no penalties for not using it nor will there be any enforcement of the gentleman's agreement by cup officials if it is breached). Games will not be re-made and results will not be changed.
Deliberately timing out in Escalating and Nuclear games to avoid taking a spoil will not be tolerated by any players.
This is not a common occurrence and we do not expect to see it happen at all but a rule should be in place to prevent abuse.
If a team breaks this rule the game must be re-made. (unless the wronged clan want the game to stand)
If a clan repeatedly breaks the rule then an escalating scale of punishment will apply.
Decisions of the cup organisers are final.
Clans submitting entry to the cup are deemed to have agreed to the rules.

Organization
For each clan war, the higher ranked clan will setup a thread to run that particular match. PLEASE PUT "[CC4]" (STANDS FOR CONQUEROR'S CUP 4) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TITLE FOR EACH CLAN WAR. All games should be created using gaming privileges for each clan war. All game links should be kept up in the thread created for that clan match. Games should be sent 10 at a time from each clan (20 games total) for each round and sent by the date specified on the schedule.
In each clan challenge thread. A list of players participating for each clan should be kept up along with a running tally of how many games each player has played in. If someone feels a player has violated the number of games they are allowed to participate in, please bring it to my attention. If they are found in violation, the opposing team will get to pick any games that the offending player was in from the last batch played equal to the number of games the went over the limit to restart without that player participating.
When games are sent, they must already be created and fully joined by the home team. I should be copied in the private message sending each clans home games. Once home games are sent, the away clan has 5 full days to fill the games. If your opponent is late on either sending/joining home games or joining games please notify me immediately. There will be some leniency on running late, I will work out a date with the clans involved and set a date that games must be sent/joined by. If a clan is still late in sending/joining home games or joining games they will forfeit 1 game per day late. The opposing team will choose which game they forfeit from the batch of games in question (i.e. if a clan sends their home games 1 day late, the opposing team will choose one of those games the late clan forfeits once they receive them). I will be checking the forums for every clan match to make sure they are being kept up properly, sent and joined on time, and the playing rules are being upheld. However, if any clan feels their opponents have broken a rule they should bring it to my attention immediately.
