All premium players will be accepted unless you are banned due to poor sportsmanship in another tournament of mine. If you are a non-premium player, you must have completed at least 15 games and have an Attendance of at least 95% turns taken , as stated on your profile page. You may also be banned due to poor sportsmanship in another tournament of mine. Any form of violation of the Rules of Conquer Club found at http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=rules (including any approved withstanding rules, decisions, or judgments from the Multi Hunters and/or Cheating/Abuse Team) including, but not limited to, creating "multiple accounts", engaging in "secret diplomacy", "throwing games", and/or taking part in any form of collusion or actions taken to provide an unfair advantage to oneself, and/or to any other player in the tournament, that is against the spirit of sportsmanship may result in expulsion from the tournament. The organizer has full judgment in making these decisions and may employ assistance from the Multi Hunters or Cheating/Abuse Team in assessing a situation in which there is suspicion of cheating or rule violations. You will receive a private message confirming your entrance into the tournament after you post.
If you are a non-premium member, once the tournament begins, you must guarantee to keep 1 The tournament will feature two game types; 1v1 and 3-8 player singles, to take place on nearly every Earth map. All play begins in Stage I, in which there is 1v1 play. Following Stage I, there will only be 3-8 player singles games.
Though CC is hosting 3 Official World Cup events, this tournament is certainly a
much different tournament. The 2011 World Cup is more freemium-friendly (requiring only 1 game slot), has a totally different format (two different game modes), and uses the Earth maps instead of the World Cup map. It is a sequel to the 2010 World Cup of Risk that I have been arduously working on for months.
Now look through the 5 leagues below and find your favorite division. They are highlighted in blue . The name of the division corresponds with the map you will be playing on in the division. (there are 32 divisions.)
The Official Rules of the 2011 World Cup of Risk *The tournament organizer has the final say on any issues connected to the tournament and tournament play. show: Universal Settings
ALL Games will have these settings :Standard Game Type
Important Note Regardless of the variations in tournament format across the 5 leagues, the tournament structure is fair. The following two golden rules will always apply, regardless of format:
The League Final in any league will always be made up of one-quarter (1/4th) of the players in that league. In other words, 1 out of every 4 players will reach the League Final. The World Cup Final (which has all the winners of the League Finals) will always be made up of one-sixteenth (1/16th) of the players in the tournament. In other words, 1 out of every 16 players will reach the World Cup Final. Visual Representation of the Tournament Structure show: Tournament Format

Having chosen a division, you will now face each of the other 3 members of the division
twice in a 1v1 game (this process is known as round-robin). Thus, each player is guaranteed
6 games. Games will take place on the map corresponding to the name of the division (so if you join the Middle East division, you will play on the Middle East map).
Players will be ranked by wins. If you advance from your division you will face opponents on larger maps from the same region, qualifying from other maps in other locations of the continent. For example, if you advance from the Jamaica division, you will face opponents on the South America map, qualifying from the Brazil, Haiti, and Central America divisions.
Eventually, with great skill and a bit of luck, you just might reach the Final, facing opponents qualifying from the entire globe.

show: Tie-Breaker Policy
If two players have the same number of wins after all six rounds of divisional play, then a playoff game will be created between the players with the identical ranking, on the divisional map with the Universal Settings.
Divisions and leagues will play independently of each other, so one division or league may be finished before another.
World Cup Final Host Map:
Classic Includes 2 players from North American League, 1 Player from South American League, 3 players from European League, 1 Player from African League, and 1 Player from Asian League.
The 8 players play in 1, 8-player Standard Game, with the Universal Settings. The winner of this game is the champion of the 2011 World Cup of Risk!
The name of the division, conference, or final ALWAYS corresponds with the name of the map used. show: Reserves Policy
The Reserves Policy will serve merely as a guideline. The organizer has full judgment in each case where a reserve may be needed.If a player, in the organizer's opinion, intentionally fails to join a game in Stage I due to the player's knowledge or belief that he cannot advance from his division, this player may be banned from future tournaments due to unsportsmanlike behavior.
