CONQUEROR’S CUP IX - 2019 Brought to you by the Clan Department Tournament Organizer: Lindax The most prestigious clan event of the year! >
PARTICIPATING CLANS & CONTACTS >
BRACKET ----
Round 1 start: January 6, 2019 - 6 Week Deadline: February 17, 2019. Round 2 starts February 17, 2019, for those clans that already know who they are playing in round 2. Clans are free to start earlier, as long as they let me know. To be fair to the other clans, the 6 Week Deadline will still be in effect if they do indeed start earlier. ----
New for CC9: The standard 1 Clan Rule will be in effect. ----
CC9 Format show: cc9 format
This is a clan war tournament with a single elimination bracket. We try to keep the duration of the tournament to 1 year. There is a limit of 32 clans participating and 8 clans will be seeded. The finalists of CC8 will be the first 2 seeds, the other 6 will be based on the December D400 Clan Ranking. In case of byes, the higher seeds will get those. The rest of the bracket will be filled randomly. Every round will be a clan war of an increasing amount of games per round, starting with 41 games in round 1 to 61 games in the final. Every round has 1 tie-breaker game built in. Every round counts as a full standard clan war and the winners will receive a Clan Achievement Medal. The overall CC9 winners and the runners-up will receive an additional Clan Achievement Medal, as well as the MVP. As usual, clans can negotiate certain clan war "defaults", such as settings, use of maps, etc. For more details, see below. The schedule will be will be strictly enforced, see below for more info. The start will be Sunday, January 6, 2019. Hopefully we can finish this Conqueror's Cup by January 2019.Please read the details below carefully! -

Start round 1: January 2019 Start round 2: February 2019 Start round 3: April 2019 Start semi-final: July 2019 Start final: October 2019 Start CC10: January 2020 -
show: scheduling clan wars
From the start of any round clans have 6 weeks to have all games started. Round 1 has a set start date, Sunday, January 6, 2019. Subsequent rounds start the Sunday after the 2 clans meeting in the next round have been decided. Round 2 starts February 17, 2019, for those clans that already know who they are playing in round 2. Clans are free to start earlier, as long as they let me know. To be fair to the other clans, the 6 Week Deadline will still be in effect if they do indeed start earlier. If a clan fails to meet the 6 week deadline one game will be forfeited for every day they fail to get all games started. If after 1 week there are still games that have not started, the clan will be disqualified. The default schedule is: 1 Week for negotiating and posting the war thread 2 Weeks for planning and exchanging the first set of games 2 Weeks for filling the first set of games and exchanging the second set of games 1 Week to fill all games Notes: Clans are free to negotiate and deviate from the default schedule, as long as they meet the 6 week deadline to have all games started. If clans negotiated a schedule different to the default schedule (never exceeding the 6 weeks) it has to be posted in the war thread. See "Clan War threads" below. IMPORTANT: If no deviations of the default schedule are agreed upon and posted within 1 week, the default schedule stands. The winning clan has to let the TO know, by PM, when a clan war is decided. The clan asking for privileges needs to notify the TO by PM after posting in the clan forum. Participating clans are solely and totally responsible for meeting the 6 week deadline. There will be no mercy. Not meeting the deadline will have consequences. -
Clan Wars show: games
Amount of games per round:Round 1 : 41 Games, including 1 Tie-Breaker Game 20 Home Games6 Doubles 7 Triples 7 Quads ----Round 2 : 43 Games, including 1 Tie-Breaker Game 21 Home Games 7 Doubles 7 Triples 7 Quads ----Round 3 : 49 Games, including 1 Tie-Breaker Game 24 Home Games8 Doubles 8 Triples 8 Quads ----Round 4 : 55 Games, including 1 Tie-Breaker Game 27 Home Games9 Doubles 9 Triples 9 Quads ----Round 5 : 61 Games, including 1 Tie-Breaker Game 30 Home Games 10 Doubles 10 Triples 10 Quads ---- The Tie-Breaker game for all the rounds will be Triples on Classic, sunny, chained, no spoils (does not count toward player game maximum) ---- Creating games: All games have to be created with the [CC9] privileges. The game labels should include the set and the clan that created the home games (for example: Set 1: LHDD Home). The clan creating the clan war thread will also create the tie-breaker game for that clan war. Once the home games have been created they have to be posted in the Active Clan War Lists for Full Wars and send to the other clan by PM or posted in the clan war thread. -
show: default rules and settings
Default Rules & Settings:Only game types allowed are "Teams" (Polymorphic is not considered a team game) All games must have automatic initial troop deploy (no manual) All games must be sequential (no freestyle) All games must have 24 hour round length (no speed) All spoils are allowed except zombie spoils (negotiable) All forts are allowed except "no forts" (negotiable) There will be no round limits except for “no forts” and Trench games (For those games a round limit is negotiable) Trench is permitted in a maximum of 50% of home games (negotiable) Each map can only be used twice per clan per clan war but can only be used once per game type (dubs/trips/quads) Beta maps are not allowed Each clan will pick the map and settings for exactly half of the games Games will be exchanged in 2 sets At least half of the quads games will be exchanged in the first set 12 Hour Fog Rule will not be in effect (negotiable, TO will not enforce any penalties for violations) New settings that are implemented after the start of the Cup will be excluded from wars (negotiable with specific approval of TO) As has been allowed in the past, for each clan war clans can negotiate to adjust certain rules/settings slightly to their liking. Those rules/settings are marked "negotiable" in "Default Rules and Settings" above. Both clans need to agree on the adjusted rules/settings in the clan war thread before any games are started. Any deviation of the default rules/settings need to be posted in the clan war thread (see below for details). The TO, or another CD who is not involved in the clan war, need to approve the changes in the same thread. To avoid delay, please PM the TO once the changes have been posted. Note: This ability to adjust rules only applies to individual war settings not to overall rules of CC9. For example, clans may not increase the number of games in their match, change the 6 week limit for having all games started, violate the 1 Clan Rule, etc. IMPORTANT: If no deviations of defaults are agreed upon and posted within 1 week, the defaults stand. -
show: player eligibility and game count
The standard 1 Clan Rule will be in effect. ---- Maximum amount of games a player can participate in, per round:Round 1: 15 Games Round 2: 16 Games Round 3: 18 Games Round 4: 20 Games Round 5: 22 Games Note: To be eligible for a medal for a clan war a player has to play a minimum of 3 games in the war. -
show: clan war threads
At the start of every round, by default the higher ranked clan will set up the clan war thread. As long as both clans agree they can choose to have the other clan do it. The clan war thread needs to be created in the "Active Challenges" section of the clan forums. In the title the prefix [CC9] has to be used, followed by the round and the abbreviations of the two clans (for example: [CC9] Round 1: TOFU VS FALL). The clan that sets up the clan war thread is responsible for the following:Post any negotiated and agreed upon changes to the default rules/settings, marked in red Post any negotiated and agreed upon deviations from the default schedule, marked in blue Send a PM to the TO, or another CD not involved in the clan war, when the above has been posted Request privileges for both clans by posting in the "Clan Gaming Privileges Request" thread Send a PM to the TO that the request for privileges has been posted Post all the games in "Active War Game Lists" thread for standard clan wars Post a link to the Clan Tab War Page Update the clan war thread when applicable (results, etc.) Update the title of the thread with the score and when the clan war is finished (mark title with "FINAL" and the end date) Send a PM to the TO when the clan war is decided Notes: Sending PMs to the TO is helps us to avoid delays, which helps you to stick to the schedule. If your clan is not running the clan war thread, please send a PM with your home games to the clan contact who does run the thread. That way it's easier for that person to copy and paste the games in the various threads. You're free to post them in the clan war thread as well. Please post the games numbers with a link to the game ([game][/game]). In the "Active Clan War Lists" thread you only need to post the game numbers (linked). When you have updated the OP or title of the clan war thread, it's recommended you also post that you updated it. -
Medals & MVP show: requirements
To be eligible for a Clan Achievement Medal for winning a clan war (every round is a clan war), a player must:Play a minimum of 3 games ---- To be eligible for the Clan Achievement Medal for the overall win of CC9 (or second place), a player must:Play minimum 15 games for the clans playing 5 rounds Play minimum 12 games for the clans playing 4 rounds Participate in a minimum of 2 rounds or clan wars ---- To be eligible for the Clan Achievement Medal for the MVP of CC9, a player must:Play a minimum of 40 games (or 32 games in case of a 1st round bye) Play in all 5 rounds of the tournament (or 4 rounds in case of a 1st round bye) Have a clean record with regards to game abuse Note: The winning clan chooses the MVP. -
General Rules & Comments show: general rules and comments
General Rules: All the CC and standard Clan War rules will be in effect, unless stated otherwise. Game abuse like purposely running out of time or throwing a game is prohibited. The first time a clan breaks this rule in CC9 the game must be re-made (unless other clan wants game to stand). Each subsequent violation during CC9 will result in a forfeit of the game. If you notice a player from the other clan has violated the number of games they are allowed to participate in, please bring it to the TO's attention. If the clan/player is found in violation, the opposing clan will get to pick any game(s) that the offending player is/was in from the last batch played equal to the number of games that went over the limit to be re-made without that player participating. If a clan or player breaks one or both of the above rules repeatedly it may lead to expulsion of the player and/or disqualification of the clan. Consequences for breaking any other rule mentioned in this post will be determined on a case by case basis, depending on the severity, repetitiveness, and possible effects on the results of this tournament. The consequences can vary from a warning to the remaking of a game, forfeits, point deductions, or in the worst case, expulsion of a player and/or disqualification of a clan. If a clan is disqualified from CC9, or leaves CC9 for whatever reason(s) the clan will not be eligible to enter CC10. ---- Comments: Clans are encouraged to solve minor issues between themselves. However, if you feel that a clan or a player has broken a rule, please report this to the TO. Same goes for any other problem you encounter during this clan event. Lindax is ultimately responsible for running CC9. If you disagree with a ruling by Lindax, please contact davekettering, the Clan Department Head. By signing up your clan, you, your clan and your players express agreement with all the rules mentioned in this post. ---- Disclaimer: The format and the rules are subject to change if deemed appropriate by the CD Team. -

We will keep the sign-up open another day or so to give LHDD and maybe others a bit more time to decide. And for ID to post their contacts. Happy New Year, Lx
