[spoiler=Format]This will be a multi-clan, bracket style, single elimination clan war tournament. The challenge will consist of 16-32 clans (possibly more). Clans will be seeded before the tournament starts. The bracket will be set up so it is 1v16, 2v15, 3v14, etc. If we have a number of clans between 16-32 then as many play-in games matches will take place as we need to get a 16 clan bracket by the lowest seeded clans. 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=Seedings]Before the tournament starts, seedings will be given out. The seedings will be determined by the latest power ranking votes found here http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 8&t=118748[/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
    -Must submit a vote for the Power Rankings

To sign up, the clan leader must post the clan name in this thread along with a 1st and 2nd contact. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Clan Wars]The play-in clan wars (games before the final 16) as well as the first round of the Conqueror's Cup will use the following format:

    - 41 total games
    - 12 doubles
    - 14 triples
    - 14 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
    - The 41st 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, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

Clan wars in the quarter finals of the Conqueror's Cup will use the following format:

    - 61 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.
    - The 61st 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, 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
    - 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, manual deployments, beta maps, or nuclear spoils games allowed

Any players can play in the tie-breaker games in the semi finals and 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.

We will be playing with a "Cup Tied" rule, meaning once a player plays with any clan, they are tied to that clan and only that clan for the rest of the Cup.

As was allowed last year, each clan war can adjust the rules slightly to their liking if both clans agree on the adjusted rules before any games are started and they get my approval.

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 "[CC2]" (STANDS FOR CONQUEROR'S CUP 2) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TITLE FOR EACH CLAN WAR. All games should be created using gaming privileges for each clan war. 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 and sent by the date specified on the schedule.

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, the opposing team will get to pick any games from the last batch played equal to the number of games the went over the limit to restart without that player participating.

When games are sent, they must already be created and fully joined by the home team. [player]TheSpaceCowboy[/player] and myself should be copied in the private message sending each clans home games. Once home games are sent, the away clan has 5 full days to fill the games. If your opponent is late on either sending/joining home games or joining games please notify me immediately. There will be some leniency on running late, I will work out a date with the clans involved and set a date that games must be sent/joined by. If a clan is still late in sending/joining 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). [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.
[/spoiler]

I have a feeling a few might sit this one out. KORT will debate it out. We will let you know in some time if we are going to be in again or not.

I'm just interested in why Quarters has more games on face value than Semi's or the Final. Obviously a different scenario if there are ties, but it still feels a bit weird to see it as is.

Also, any specific reason to have World 2.1 as the tiebreaks? There's no support for random, or maybe just looking at a poll of the most popular map?

Stats were provided on all the CLA League Map Choices, and it (World 2.1) was decided by the organizer. There was no vote but based on the number of specialty maps used as "home maps", this was a good choice IMO.

I would like clarification of:

"When games are sent, they must already be created, however, they do not have to be fully joined by home team yet. TheSpaceCowboy and myself should be copied in the private message sending each clans home games. Once home games are sent, each clan has 5 full days to fill the games. "

That means clans may walk the line on fog games. My requirement has always been that the home team must fully join before my away team joins, and assumes the full risk of choosing fog.

Can you post the updated version of the Power Rankings?

Before the tournament starts, seedings will be given out. The seedings will be determined by the latest power ranking votes found here viewtopic.php?f=438&t=118748

Or are you going to use July of last year?

Yes, jp, I will clarify about home teams being joined first. I also will try to have the power rankings up ASAP. Just haven't had time to combine them as of late.

There is a more in depth tie breaker in the last two rounds I believe. The bigger tie breaker was discussed, but one of the biggest problems with CC1 was that it was really dragging on. CLA reps decided it was better to make the extra game early on to prevent ties rather than have it drawn out, but once we get to 4 clans left, that kind of drama is REALLY exciting.

Leehar wrote:Also, any specific reason to have World 2.1 as the tiebreaks? There's no support for random, or maybe just looking at a poll of the most popular map?


What JP said, except that several CLA reps chimed in and agreed that this was a good decision (Too many clans are afraid that random could kill the fun of things if that odd numbered game ended up being something terrible--which is a valid point. Could you imagine trips Luxembourg being the deciding game in a challenge?). The 2.1 decision wasn't as unilateral as JP made it seem.
