This Cup's purpose is to establish new and lower ranked clans,
give them a chance to win something and gather valuable experience
as a base for further growth and rise in ranks.

It is not as strict as other competitions as we have to cherish
any new blood coming into clan world and give them a chance
to understand and learn how to be an effective clan.

Bare that in mind.

gives those that want to participate long enough in advance of a notice to prepare... for example we are currently in our 2nd ever clan challenge and are participating in a tournament right now with not very many people, so this gives us a chance to both discuss and try to finish any prior engagements.

Thanks benga

Whats the requirements for new clans?
Younger than 1 year and/or less than 3-5 wars?
Otp should still qualify tho ;)

They do qualify, new clan is any clan that is new :D

Maybe the best argument is, that they never were on FD ranking. ;)

But as freak said, they aim higher and consider themselves as an higher ranked clan.

You guys are in, well unless you appear in May standings (01/06/2012) ranked 20 or higher :D

It`s not about game load, it`s about organizing things. Freak is in charge of CC, I`m doing my best to keep CL going, trboye and lordnex are helping us as much as they can, but there is no way we would be able to organize one more competition. Someone else would have to step up.

Besides, honestly, I think we would rather play ICL than this.

Now, if *someone* would stop wasting his time in that OSA clan and come over to help us. O:)

ICL is off, CL will be close to end,

but as I said, you have your wishes and if you don't want to play it's fine

TFFS will play if you will have us. We are 20th in April and 24th in May. Not sure if our 20th rank in April would keep us out or not.

1st Regiment is in. I believe that we still qualify, having not won previous Newcomer Cups. :P

Makes sense. I guess we'll see where we are at on June 1st then. Not sure if we've won enough to move up those spots.

Question, does winning a previous NC disqualify participation in this one? Just curious since we (GR) plan on making the finals of this event every year :)

we do not consider ourself higher ranked... we prove with our result how high we are ;)
but we are playing only one clan war at the time, and some may think we are kidding, but i do plan to beat TOFU and stay in CC... TOFU however might have different idea :lol:
and we will be on new rankings, probably higher then 21(most likely between 10 and 15)
