a little history
In January 2010, Chuuuuck started the first Annual Conqueror's Cup. It was obviously a success, since then we have had one (almost) every year. Over the years we have had some minor changes to the format. For 2016 (CC6) the clan department revamped the tournament to keep the duration down to about a year. The basics have remained the same for the past 12 years though. Now, in 2023, we run the 13th edition!

Some things have been changed.
Notable changes marked in blue.
CC13 Format
cc13 format
This is a clan war tournament with a single elimination bracket. There is a limit of 32 clans participating and 8 clans will be seeded. The finalists of CC12 will be the first 2 seeds*, the other 6 will be based on the January 2023 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, starting with 43 games in round 1 and concluding with 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 CC13 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 strictly enforced, see below for more info. Round 1 will start Sunday, January 15, 2023.
*First place will be 1st seed and second place 2nd seed. If final match does not have an official winner by the time the six week deadline needs to be announced for one of the matches in question, the January 2023 D400 ranking will be used to determine seeding.

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 15, 2023. Subsequent rounds start the Sunday after the 2 clans meeting in the next round have been decided.
Round 2 starts Sunday, February 19, 2023 for those clans that already know who they are playing in round 2. Clans are free to start earlier, as long as they let us know. To be fair to the other clans, the 6 Week Deadline will still be in effect if they do indeed start earlier.
The default schedule is:
Round 1 has a set start date, Sunday, January 15, 2023. Subsequent rounds start the Sunday after the 2 clans meeting in the next round have been decided.
Round 2 starts Sunday, February 19, 2023 for those clans that already know who they are playing in round 2. Clans are free to start earlier, as long as they let us know. To be fair to the other clans, the 6 Week Deadline will still be in effect if they do indeed start earlier.
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
- 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 than 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.
- 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!
- There will be a hard set deadline of 5 weeks to have all games created. If a clan does not have all home games created by the 5 week deadline, one game will be forfeited for every day that clan fails to create their games. If after 1 week there are still games that have not been created, the offending clan will be disqualified.
- A clan will ALWAYS be allowed 7 days to fill the other clan's home games. They will receive an extension to fill away games of however many days a home clan is late in creating. Which means if the other clan creates their home games 3 days late, the away clan will be given an extension of 3 days to fill those games without incurring penalties.
- If the games are created on time and the away clan fails to fill those games within the 6 week deadline, they will forfeit one game for every day they are late in filling. If after 1 week there are still games that have not been started, the offending clan will be disqualified.

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 [CC13] has to be used, followed by the round and the abbreviations of the two clans (for example: [CC13] R1: TOFU vs FALL).
The clan that sets up the clan war thread is responsible for the following:
Sending PMs to the TO and ATO helps us to avoid delays, which helps clans 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 game numbers with a link to the game ([game][/game]).

Spoiler
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 CC13 the game must be re-made (unless the other clan wants the game to stand). Each subsequent violation during CC13 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 CC13, or leaves CC13 for whatever reason(s) the clan will not be eligible to enter CC14.
