[spoiler=Phase Two Qualification Requirements]Winners of each of the 7 group progress to Division 1
The top clan in 2nd-place also qualifies for Division 1 (according to points, then games won/lost ratio)

The remaining 2nd-placed clans qualify for Division 2
The top 2 clans in 3rd-place also qualify for Division 2 (according to points, then games won/lost ratio)

The remaining 3rd-placed clans qualify for Division 3
The top 3 clans in 4th-place also qualify for Division 3.

The remaining 4th-placed clans qualify for Division 4
The top 4 clans in 5th-place also qualify for Division 4.

The remaining 7 clans qualify for Division 5

Entries should be sent by PM to [player]Leehar[/player], but can also be submitted in this thread created for the purpose in the Clans Sub-Forum (though all liability of copied use of your competition submission falls on you)
Only one entry per player and no duplicate entries will be accepted.
Remember we're not counting phase 1 results, but the ultimate outcome for each clan which will only start being decided at the end of Phase 2 whence 18 clans will be eliminated.
A point will be given for each correct placing up til Phase 3, while 2 points each for the winners and runners-up in Phase 4
Therefore, you'd get 1 point for correctly predicting that OSA (for example) exit the competition in Division B-Phase 2, another if you predicted that IA only exit the competition in Division A-Phase 3 and 2 points if you correctly picked TNC as the winners of Division C.
Tie-breakers will be decided on amount of Phase 4 Winners correct.

We'll show everybody's chosen scores after entries are complete, and run updates through the season to let you know how you're doing.
Entries close at the Commencement of Phase 2. But in the interests of getting entries sooner, 0.25 to 0.5 points will be eliminated from a persons score (Grand total 49 points) per result update on the individual (Div A-G) tables
Do you know your clans? Can you look into your crystal ball and see what the season will bring? Sign up and prove it! See if you can win that premium and the glittery gold thing.

Worth 49 points in total if you submission is perfectly in line with how the competition pans out[/spoiler]

[chapcrap]

So, we need to wait for Phase 1 to finish before submitting anything?

[Leehar]

I thought I'd already put it in. But in the interests of getting this show on the road sooner, I think it was decided that 0.5 or 0.25 points will be eliminated from a persons score per result update on the individual (Div A-G) tables.
So for each result that is finalised before your submission, 0.25 will be eliminated from the grand totale of 49 points you can achieve)

I think this makes it so that it may actually be better to submit your submission sooner, but if you're willing to lose 10+ points to see which divisions teams land up in Phase 2 and 3 that may also be workable.
You can also adjust your submission later so if you did lose more points in predicting the first phase results, you can still recover.

[Bruceswar]

Good Luck to all those who enter.

I believe it's actually referring to Knights Round of the Table, not to be confused with Knights of the Round Table.

Lol, that was one of my Reporters giving his scenario.
On the tiered Alphabetical F400 ranked version you guys came out 3rd!

Submit your entry and I'll replace ours with it?

Your welcome qwert

I just had a hunch without looking at scores when I wrote it up their would be a big upset in that division. I also didn't want it to be in the same format as the rankings would suggest (and the example was done in 5 min)

[Qwert]

Lol, that was one of my Reporters giving his scenario.

For your record,we have good chances to qualify into Division 1,its depend on last games against TSM.
One small problem with ranks-they dont get into consideration quality reinforcment of new player betwene last chalenges.

[Leehar]

I am glad to announce entries have doubled since the Dispatch got involved, and we're now 4 away from offering another 3 months premium!

[Lindax]

If I happen to win, please don't declare me: "The Top CC Clan Aficionado". I just chose the abbreviations that I recognized. I really dislike this abbreviation business in the clan world, I hardly ever know who's who....

Lx

[IcePack]

Sorry Lindax, i can give you long version of it if it helps

49 entries! One more to go

Lol, any other suggestions on a more catchy title will be entertained for the deserving winner

I should have posted the [Official] List of Clans - With Links so people could know more about who's in their respective clans.
I think you can still adjust your prediction if the list helps you know who's who!

51

Wow, that was fast, guess I really have to fork out the extra 3 months!

[Leehar]

I'm curious, would everyone like me to award the extra 3 months to a random member among the first 50, or should we include all entrants?

Also, who's entries were DWR, #9, Smean Smursi, KD and XO?

[IcePack]

There were 20-25 entrants before entertainment posted, so really 50 didn't have a chance to sign up since announcement. Si maybe top 75 or all, I'm fine w anything of course

[herus]

I play, thanks, Herus

[General Brock II]

I'm in, too. Is the objective to have as many members per clan pick, or just individuals in general?

[Leehar]

It was for individuals, but if we do have evidence suggesting that a large amount of a single clan participated, then perhaps an award could be achieved for that!

[HighlanderAttack]

I predict there is no way I will win a game at all

[ViperOverLord]

I posted a chollenge prediction. I initially had TOFU as my listed winner since they seem to be playing the best of late. But it still looks like they could face 3 or 4 tough opponents that could beat them.

[QoH]

If we submitted one to icepack unofficially (before this came out) will that be entered again?

Its using the same bracket prediction, so yours is entered, yes.
