Here just to say couple of things:
1.This game is about fun and enjoyment for me and it should stay so. Any problem should be easily overcome and I don't want any of the wars to become flame war. Play fair and don't get unreasonable.
2.This is Newcomers Cup, so if any clan is a bit late or slow on joining, don't hold it against them. We or most are here to learn before thrown to wolves.
3.Except me there is always shaneback to turn on, as he has help me so far and thank you for that.
4.I will updated the thread as soon as I can with all the results.
5.I am easy going guy and believe that going for any punishment is the last resort, as I said at start, this is game and lets try to have some fun, all issues can be dealt in friendly manner.
Good luck to all!

[spoiler=finals]3 clan round robin.
The winners of the Cup will be the clan that wins 2 wars.
If each clan wins only 1 war, then, and only then, will it be decided by win/loss ratio.
The schedule of wars is to be agreed by clans involved
with intention to end the Cup at July 2.
In case of a tie there will be a special round on Classic map,
with one dubs, trips and quad team from each clan.
It will be played round robin style with no spoils, chained, sunny settings.
Player can only be in one team (either dub, trip or quad)
and that team will play both games of the tie.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Organization]For each clan war, the higher seeded clan will setup a thread to run that particular match.When asking for privileges, just stay that this clan war is part of Newcomers Cup.
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.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=conflicts]The 1st step is to work it out between yourselves, next step is me and last would be CDs.
When sending and joining be careful about restrictions from Rules of Engagement.
Please do not join later then 7 days, otherwise you are facing a forfeit.
For using maps more the stated, the other team will choose map and settings to replace the last joined game/s.
For excessive use of players, the other team gets to which games they wish to replace,
again by choosing map and settings themselves.
If at any time anyone of you needs some time ask!!
All complaints are to be looked up in case by case fashion.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=awards]Each clan war is to be issued a medal as it normally would.
The winner of the Cup will also receive a medal.[/spoiler]
