FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.

In addition to the CA medal, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star

And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star


When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM [player]CatchersMitt14[/player].

Is this the best map for this type of tournament - see map thread.

"i don't think the entire map should be changed - there have been only 10 games total with these settings. but should someone happen to read this, think twice before you start a trench tripples or quads on this map "

Umm, I really don't understand what argument you're trying to make here. I know there have been way more than ten trips/quads trench games on Clandemonium as I've personally played well more than that on those settings.

Anything said in that thread is also at minimum three years old.

Also, the only required settings are play order and round limits so I fail to see how wanting to play the map with no trench is an issue.

Furthermore, the entire point of Challenges is to make people get out of their rut and try new things. So, even if these were unusual settings, I would say the more unusual the better.

CLAN MEDAL -
61 WIN tokens with a minimum of 3 WINS in each game type - Dubs/Trips/Quads
* Clan Achievement Medals and scores are scored by your clan as a whole. All active players in your clan will receive this medal if the requirements are met.

I dont understand two things here.

Minimum of 3 wins in each game type. Does it mean by entire Clan or by every player? If a clan wins say a quads with all 4 members from the clan, does it count as 4 wins for quads for that Clan?

Seems nice planned challenge

1. It means three wins in each game type by the clan as a whole. For example, S&M would need a minimum of 3 bronze, 3 silver, and 3 gold on their way to 61 tokens.

2. Yes, each member of the winning team will receive the respective token for that game. So a quads game won by davekettering (S&M), TeeGee (S&M), IcePack (FALL), and Keefie (HH) would give two gold tokens to S&M, one gold token to FALL, and one gold token to HH.

If a 4 man team from TOFU plays another 4 man team from TOFU does TOFU get credit for 4 gold tokens?

I hope it's not or it would be abused!

You'd need to join a clan. Infinati is a tribe.

[rmjw10]

it looks like that the scoring is reversed. gold is 3, silver is 2 and bronze is 1

I have 27 bronze, 8 silver and 6 gold but only 61 points.

Can you be more specific about loutil's question?

Yes, everyone on the winning team gets a token. The members of each team are completely irrelevant, they can be any combination of clan and non-clan players. Whomever is on the winning team gets a token regardless of which clan they are in or if they are in a clan at all.

And the clan scores have disapeared?

[rmjw10]

thanks for the update on the scores

[betiko]

Well not really... the individual ranking, i guess only rmjw cares about it... but there are no more clan rankings since some modifications have been done. Help!

Working on it. I have no access to the code so I'm just the gobetween messenger in this case.
