[spoiler=Format]This will be a multi-clan, bracket style, single elimination clan war tournament. The challenge will consist of 16 clans (possibly more). Clans will be seeded before the tournament starts. The bracket will be set up so it is 1v16, 2v15, 3v14, etc. A layout of a bracket can be seen in the 2nd post below. 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.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=pre-season rankings]Before the tournament starts, pre-season rankings will be compiled. The rankings will be determined by the vote of each clan leader participating in the tournament. The average rank of each clan will be determined from the vote of all of the leaders and clans will be seeded accordingly.[/spoiler]

Any players can play in the tie-breaker game even if they have already played in their allotted number of games for that clan war.
It is intended that each round of the tournament meets the criteria for a clan war and should be included in the clan challenge rankings.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Organization]For each clan war, the higher ranked clan will setup a thread to run that particular match. PLEASE PUT "C.C." (STANDS FOR CONQUEROR'S CUP) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TITLE FOR EACH CLAN WAR. All games should be created as private games by the players that will be playing in them from the home team. 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.
*EDIT* I will announce the start of each round of each clan war at least 1 week in advance (I will always try for 2 weeks). Each clan should send their home games to the opposing clan by private message by the start day of the round. When games are sent, they must already be created, however, they do not have to be fully joined by home team yet. [player]TheSpaceCowboy[/player] and myself should be copied in the private message sending each clans home games. This is not required but is highly recommended. If there is a dispute on whether or not the games were sent on time and we were not copied on the message then I can not support the sender. Once home games are sent, each clan has 5 full days to fill the games. Each clan will get 1 warning on either sending home games or joining games for the entire tournament (this is 1 total warning, not 1 warning for each). After their warning, if a clan is late in sending 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). All time and days will be determined by Central Standard Time (because that is what I live in). [player]TheSpaceCowboy[/player] and myself 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 our attention immediately.
*EDIT* 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, that clan will forfeit EVERY game that player has played in that clan challenge for the tournament.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Schedule]Remember, all dates mentioned mean the task has to be done by the end of that day Central Standard Time.
