Semi-finals schedule

• 14th of January — Batch 1 games sent with 1 week to join the games by both clans
• 28th of January — Batch 2 games sent with 1 week to join the games by both clans
• 11th of February — Batch 3 games sent with 1 week to join the games by both clans

Clans can change the dates as they see fit upon mutual agreement and my endorsement but I will ask to send last games no later than 11th of February.

Penalty for being late sending or joining games will be one home game forfeiture per day unless opposing clan will agree to play the game out. Please PM me if you want to enforce this rule, all dates will be checked by GMT +0 timezone after I receive a complaint.


Semi-finals format

— 60 total games
— 20 doubles
— 20 triples
— 20 quads
— Each clan member can only participate in 20 games per clan war
— Each clan will pick the map and settings for exactly half of the games
— In case of a tie, there will be a 7 game tie breaker with each clan choosing three games of any game type and settings. The last game will be Quads on World 2.1, sunny, chained, no spoils
— Each map can only be used twice per clan per clan war but can only be used once per game type (i.e. once for triples and once for quads)
— There will be no freestyle, speed, trench warfare, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

Any players can play in the tie-breaker games in the semi finals even if they have already played in their allotted number of games for that clan war, however, no player can play in more than 2 of the games. Maps cannot be reused in the tie breaker games.

Clans can change tie-breaker rule and game settings restrictions as they see fit upon mutual agreement and my endorsement.

Penalty for breaking a rule will be game forfeiture unless opposing clan will agree to the game result.

I personally have been hinting the mods to do something like an ESPN "sports center" update via video each month. I would not do it myself but I think if someone did it, it could be a lot of fun. I had some free time today and wanted to give my thoughts on the ending of the CC3. That is all.

Nice, Griff!

[hyposquasher]

Cool idea. It gives a bit of a narrative to wars that people may not otherwise be following.

Hey, it's JD.

That is actually a really good idea! I think it would be really cool to do something like this for CL5 - with at least one reporter for each qualification group, then a few different takes on each of the three leagues as the season progresses. I would definitely be up for something like that.
Question, though, if we do go ahead with this: should players report on their own clan's groups?

[Master Fenrir]

Griff, has anybody every told you that you look a bit like John Cusack? Or a less punchable Zach Braff?

[angola]

Griff, has anybody every told you that you look a bit like John Cusack? Or a less punchable Zach Braff?

Definitely Zach Braff. When I first saw the embedded video, I thought it was a picture of Braff and that it was a weird spoof video.

Funny, same here.

Oh, yes. Bias and propaganda is the only way to go.

[Chariot of Fire]

I've no idea who Zach Braff is. Is that a good thing?

[Dako]

Just an actor famous for sitcom Scrubs.

I live in Thailand. Thai's don't even know who those actors are yet alone their names. I personally think I am better looking them both those guys, but that might just be me. Might be time for a hair cut.
