[NC3] Newcomers Cup 3-close pls

[benga]

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.

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

[NoSurvivors]

The Riders on the Storm (RotS) will play

[patrickaa317]

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.

[General Brock II]

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

those are rankings on April and May 1st, months are March and April, rankings for May are due 01/06/2012

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.

The Ulti-M8's will play! I'm the contact.

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

[freakns]

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

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
and we will be on new rankings, probably higher then 21(most likely between 10 and 15)

Yea

[Keefie]

With absolutely no disrespect intended to the clans named below, I find it absolutely ridiculous that the entry rules for the Newcomers Cup have been relaxed so that old and experienced clans such as: VDLL, TNC, TFFS, The Legion etc etc are now eligible.

Imho entry should be restricted to clans who are less than a year old - Period.

[Ickyketseddie]

I know why you're saying what you are, but i dont think there would be much of a competition left? Maybe newcomers cup isn't the most appropriate name anymore?

[Keefie]

The goal of the competition posted in Benga's opening post says:

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.

Well will someone tell me what chance to clans like: Random Heroes, The Ultim8tes, RotS, NBK, Team Fiso have against the clans listed in my previous post.

The entry criteria does NOT match the aims of the competition.

[Ickyketseddie]

I don't dissagree with your statement Keefie. I just ment I dont think theres enough new clans entering to make up the numbers for a tourney. Plus Opti is a new clan and those guys would have a hard time against the likes of them. I guess there will always be a grey area..

If you look at it from a slightly different point of view this is the only tourney i'm aware of where these sorts of new clans can get involved and not play the likes of Empire/pack/IA etc etc. I know there are some good clans in here but i guess you have to lose a few to better opposition before you get better yourself. I think you stand a better chance of learning something playing clans in the bottom half of the rankings than losing 38-3 at the hands of KORT.

[benga]

I was thinking a lot where to draw a line and it's not maybe the perfect line,
but the faster any new clans see how hard they have to work,
they will try to work their way up or disband.

This is the most competitive place in CC and you need to be on the move 24/7.

NC gave PACK and PIGS after their loss went to be a TOP 10.
Welsh Dragons and Order 66 are no more.

NC2
Gave us LHDD and pretty much all wars were close,
all except 1RFG v. MB 29-12.

Newcomers term also applies to a clan who tries to shine on the scene
to get some wind in his back and it should be that easy,
nor it's too hard.

Only thing I can add is that all clans created within the 1 year can be part of this,
so HH can play in this too.

Cheers!
