I have updated the post to be in more line with the spirit of this competition:

Allow to me say you have updated the line to be less with the spirit of this competition.

It is called "Newcomers Cup" not "Low Ranked Clans Cup".

OPEN FOR:

Every new clan (younger then 1 year) can participate unless they are ranked in the top 20.
Every older clan ranked below #25 when cup starts can participate aswell.
[...]


Those 2 rules next to each other kind of make it useless to say "every new clan..." Just say everyone less than rank 20 or everyone less than rank 25 can enter...

I fully understand why you want to prevent a top clan like ACE to enter this cup, obviously they aren't new.
But I think that rule was enough

New clans that are formed from a top 20 clan are not allowed if over 50% of members are from a top 20 clan

You can have whatever opinion you want, the spirit of the competition is to give lower ranked/new clans a chance to play in a league and not get totally thrashed by a top clan in the first round. That is what the whole intro is based on in the first thread

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.

Please bear that in mind.

You could rename it The Newcomers (Unless you're really good) Cup ;)

btw HH will not be entering this year, we're not very new anymore.

Why not make it younger then 1 year, and outside top 10 or 15?
New clans start @ 1,000 points which is ranked 24th as of jan 15. If the clan wins just 1-2 wars it makes them ineligible using a top 20 rule.

Good point Ice.

After their storming start Gladiators of Noxious might just be ineligible :o

Which list are you guys using the clan list on the site itself, the F400 ranking??

There is some interest under members from the VDLL, but since we are by now one of the oldest clan in CC history we wont fit the 1 year requirement :lol: . But in CC clans list we fall in the top 20 I thought, so thats why!

Ty in advance.

The F400 since it is the list that's actually kept up to date. The list on the clan page has been incorrect for some time.
