[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]
[spoiler=Eligibility]To sign up for the Conquer0r's Cup, each clan must meet the following criteria.

    -Must be members of the CLA (Adhere to the 1 competetive clan rule)
    -Must have completed 2 competetive clan wars of at least 40 games

To sign up, the clan leader must post the clan name in this thread along with a 2nd contact person to themselves. If there are more than 16 clans, a play-in round will be added in for the bottom ranked seeds. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Clan Wars]The play-in clan wars (games before the final 16) of the Conqueror's Cup will use the following format:

    - 20 total games
    - 2 1v1 matchups (best of 5)
    - 6 doubles
    - 6 triples
    - 6 quads
    - Each clan member can participate in as many of the games as desired
    - Each clan will pick the map and settings for exactly half of the games
    - Each map can only be used once per clan per clan war
    - There will be no freestyle, speed, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

Clan wars in the first and second round of the Conqueror's Cup will use the following format:

    - 40 total games
    - 2 1v1 matchups (best of 5)
    - 12 doubles
    - 14 triples
    - 12 quads
    - Each clan member can only participate in 15 games per clan war
    - Each clan will pick the map and settings for exactly half of the games
    - 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, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

The semi-finals and finals of the Conqueror's Cup will use the following format:

    - 60 total games
    - 4 1v1 matchups (best of 5)
    - 18 doubles
    - 20 triples
    - 18 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.
    - 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, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

If there is a tie in any clan war, a one game tie-breaker will be set up with the following settings:

    Type: Triples
    Map: Classic
    Play: Sequential
    Spoils: None
    Reinforcements: Chained
    Fog: No

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.

16 Teams
Round 1 - Games should be sent by March 17, 2010 and joined by March 22, 2010
Round 2 - Games should be sent by March 31, 2010 and joined by April 5, 2010

Would it be possible to reserve a spot for IA, pending final confirmation ?

Wow, ambitious! Sounds like a lot of fun, though. :)

What kind of time line do you expect to to have for this mega-tournament? So 4 rounds of challenges - how long do you anticipate for each challenge? I see that your post says the schedule will be announced as the rounds progress, but what are the initial thoughts you have on dates/lengths?

We will talk it over with the clan and see what our clan members think!

(Also, I totally don't mean to be a hater, but is this a Conquerer's Cup or a Conqueror's Cup? :))

I see this being a 6-9 month commitment for the clans that make it to the semi finals and finals. Obviously 8 clans lose in the first round so only a 1 challenge commitment from them. Hope to see you all here.

P.S. I think you are right on Conqueror's Cup. I apologize. I am a bad speller.

Keep in mind these are full size challenges within the tourney format. A typical 40 game challenges takes 6-8 weeks to complete. A 60 game challenge may add a week or two on, but I would think we're in the swing of things then.


I'm excited to have so many of the top clans putting their reputations on the line here. No more walking meekly about shouting about how great we all are. Let's see what everyone has.

Yes, I was just asking to be clear about it. :)

Yes, it's a great idea! I hope KORT will want to be in, but we need to vote before committing everyone to a bunch of games. :)

- 2 1v1 matchups (best of 5)
- 12 doubles
- 14 triples
- 12 quads
- Each clan member can only participate in 15 games per clan war
- Each clan will pick the map and settings for exactly half of the games.
- 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)


Clarification: So that means I can use say Conquerman 8 times then? 5 on singles best of, and once on dubs, trips and quads correct?

No, it can only be used to count as 2 of your games. So you could use it to count for 1v1 (5 games total but only counts as 1) and then quads (or doubles or triples). But only twice total.
