Ok ladies and gents i am pleased to announce the This is War Custom Clan Tourney. After alot of discussion between various invited clans (eot, lc, vicious, 7th, dv8, taoe) this is the set up we have agreed so far:
There will 5 rounds of 3v3/4v4, 1 round of 2v2s and 1 round of 1v1s. They will be broke down as follows:
Rounds Setup
1v1 Round - 1 point
This will be held on a best of 5 basis using a selection of maps that have been voted on in a secret vote. Each clan can pick pick 2 home maps from the selection of maps voted on and if the score is 2-2 and a decider is needed then there will be a 1v1 done using a random pack of the 1v1 maps voted on. Its important to note that for each clan you will need a minimum of 3 different players and each player can only play 2 games maximum in the 1v1s and cant play in both home selection picks.
2v2 Round - 1 point
This will be held on a best of 3 basis with both clans getting to pick 1 home map from the selection of maps voted on for 2v2s. If a decider is needed then there will be a game played using a random pack put together using the voted on selection of maps
3v3/4v4 Rounds - 5 points
Each game will count as 1 point and the games will either be on a 3v3 or 4v4 basis. If a clan can only field 3 players and/or wants 3v3 then the games will automatically be 3v3 no questions asked. Though if both agree then the games will be 4v4. The rounds will be broke down as follows:
Home pick Rounds - 4 points
Each Clan can pick 2 home maps from the selection of maps voted on.
Random Round - 1 point
There will be 1 round using a map pack put together using the maps voted on by the invited clans. This will change depending on map picks. If a clan uses a veto on a certain map and that map comes up in the random selection then you wont need to use another veto and the game needs to be restarted.
1. Smosh

3. CBA Hero

You cant pick the same map in the 1v1/2v2 sections if you have picked it in the 3v3/4v4 section unless someone uses a veto. So for example you wont be able to pick cba in every round or euro in 2 rounds unless some uses a veto. So lets say Eot pick euro for 3v3/4v4 then they cant pick it in the 2v2 round unless of course someone uses a veto which means they can then pick it for 2v2. If a clan doesnt want euro in 2v2 as well then they can veto it. That will mean they have used 2 vetos but they are assured they wont be playing the map at all even if it comes up in the random rounds
Also you must post your map selection before any games are played so people have a chance to practice or use a veto
CBA/CBA Hero
Naturally we want to keep the tourney has diverse as possible and due to the fact both maps are available for selection in all the rounds. So to avoid someone picking both these maps in their home picks you can only select one or the other. If a clan uses a veto on one of the maps you can select the other.
Vetos
Each clan will have a total of 3 vetos to be used for each clan v clan battle. So for example a veto can be used for a map selection or if they dont like the map that comes up in the random rounds. You will only have 3 vetos in total for each clan v clan match up. If you use a veto on a teams home map and the map comes up in the random pack round then that same veto will still stand and the game needs to be restarted, you dont need another veto. If you are using a veto in a random game simply call veto within the first 2 minutes of the game and the other person/team will resign or else you resign. Make sure to post evidence of a veto used.
Make sure to make it clear if you are using a veto when a clan gives its map selection on the forum. Also make sure you have a veto to use if you call veto in a random round or else you may be forced to play that map or else you will auto be given a loss. Most likely a loss. It is the duty of both clans to make it clear to each other what vetos are left for each other so lets not have any uncomfortable instances where vetos are called when there is none.
Spots/Postions/Civs for Maps
When a clan picks a home map they will have the choice of colours they prefer along with which civs will be played as long as the games are side v side. In the random games spots for 2v2 and 3v3/4v4 we ask you to pick either odds v even (1357 v 2468) or top v bottom (1234 v 5678) and obviously mirror civs
Recorded Games
All games of match links and vetos must be posted in the relevant recorded game section
Groups/Brackets
There will be 2 groups of 3, each group winner will play the runner up in the other group and the teams who finish bottom will play each other. I will create an offical top 5 cs clan list from this tourney where teams can play each other for spots using the same format. So lets say someone gets challenged by a new clan or even an existing clan, hopefully this will create even more clan v clan games. The groups themselves will be random. I will try and get some kind of a live draw done so everyone can see the groups made. The games will work as follows the first 2 teams drawn in each group will play each other first and the loser of that game will play the team drawn third. The team drawn third will then play the team who won the first games
Scheduling
Clans must agree to a schedule and there will be a 2 week window to play your games. There will be a schedule thread created for teams to schedule in. In the event that the games arent played like there is a clan war or a particular tournament a weeks extension may be given. Or else a decision will be made judged on whats happened to date which might mean admin wins being given, so lets try and avoid any such problems and just play your games
Third Party Tools
The use of any third party tool is prohibited. Examples are, but not limited to: Modified game files, syncers, crashers, network throttling devices (purposely lagging programs), and other such tools. Violation of this rule will not only result in disqualification from tournament, but termination/punishment as the Voobly staff team seems fit.
Dropping
Dropping will be determined based on current game state:
If the winner dropped, then the match will be replayed.
If the game is still undecided at time of drop, match will be replayed.
If the loser is dropping (and it's clear he's losing), then the other person/team will be given the win
Misc
All aspects, plus others not listed, will be analyzed before making a decision by tournament runners and others as they see fit.
You may only play on your account, and may only enter the tournament with one account. This also includes playing for someone else on their account if theyve played the games they are allowed to play. Anybody caught playing on someone elses account when they shouldnt be in the 1v1 or 2v2 games will give there team an auto loss and may result in further punishment as in both players banned from playing in the rest of the tournament.
Any use of a map bug, known or not known, will result in disqualification from tournament. You have been warned.
Any rule can be added/modified at any time as seen fit by the ones running the tournament. This rule exists to stop and punish potential exploitation of loopholes in current rules.
Spawn glitching is not allowed
