As always 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.
Bear that in mind.
Thanks to Benga for doing an awesome job running the Newcomers Cup in the past , hopefully I can somewhat fill his shoes!!!
