In this apparent dictatorship, the one thing in the entire format we insisted on were that clans were a member of a democratic group, that got to vote on issues that involved them. Us being a dictatorship kind of contradicts our want for democracy.
Now as i said before we will address this issue if it ever arises. There is currently one clan that has opted out of CDF that is true, and there are two very new clans that haven't quite yet met the requirements to be a member. If any of these three clans want to play, then we will of course consider it. More than likely we would ask for the opinion of the members of CDF.

this one sentence just makes the whole rule a load of bullshit then don't it.. meaning you can pick and choose what clan you will allow and what clan you wont allow..

It all needs to be voted on. And yes that will make it a longer and more difficult process, but it should make future events easier, and likely help the clan league out as well when it gets annexed as an official Conquer Club event.
Ive been wondering why polls have not been showing up in the CDF yet?

But the cup name and dictatorship discussions were so productive.
I know that few will agree with me, but as long as you put a round limit on all trench games you don't need to be a game limit on trench. It's an auxiliary setting that only a few like to use so clans won't go apeshit and make every game trench.

So I don't mind it being listed as "must be a member of CDF". But beneath it, can you pretty please tell us what those requirements actually are? Thanks!

Pretty much all you have to do is be a clan. Then you can enter CDF. The Usual requirements for a clan apply.
"What do you need for becoming Official :
1. 9 members and 1 leader 2. A name for the clan/group 3. A description 4. Submit the above information Eticket with the group member's names on it. 5. It may take a few days to become offical after that."
Thanks, that is what i thought. Pretty much just have to exist as a clan to get in. But I had never seen the actual requirements for CDF entry or the new event, so I was hoping it would be listed somewhere.
Thanks

This way, you can total all clans 4 picks prioritization. That way I can say "i pick option 1, but if i had to choose something else it would be Y, and then X, and then Z."
It would really show the preferances of the clans, instead of limiting to your top option.
This is bad idea. For example if you favor just one option, and 2 options are above other 2 in voting, then you will put #1 for option you favorise, and #4 to its the most strongest opposition option, even if you think that the most strongest opposition option is second the best. This suggestion allows more manipulation with voting.
Keep it simple, one clan put one vote for option they like the most. If no option gets more than 50% votes in first voting round, then we can make new voting round with 2 the most strongest option, while other 2 being eliminated.
Given the importance of the decision here we will need to consider the best method of making sure it's a fair outcome. It's highly unlikely to be a straight single vote. If there are 4 options, and 3 involved some level of random then that vote could be split 3 ways. We'll get that sorted out as quickly as we can with a view to getting the vote going early this week.
At first, great job by CDs by deciding to give to clans democratic option and chance to both propose and choose wished format style.
In addition, I would like that players who put their proposals on voting get a chance to add description (if they wish, no obligatory) to their format before it goes on voting. In the description they can say all they wish, but main purpose is to say why they think their format is the best to choose, maybe compare it with other format and say in which points they think their proposal is better than other proposals so players who vote can get wider picture about reasons for voting for every solution.

Clans 1-8 get a bye in Rounds 1 and 2 and join from Round 3 Clans 9-16 get a bye in Round 2 and join in Round 2
There are 2 similar alternatives within option 4 but for the purposes of the initial discussion we propose to keep them as a single option. If this option proves to be the winner then we could determine which of the 2 to go for.
Option 4a uses a random method of pairing the clans. 4b uses a bracket system.
4a:
R1: Clans ranked 17-24 are randomly paired with the clans ranked 25-32 R2: Clans ranked 9-16 are randomly paired with the winners from R1 R3 Clans ranked 1-8 clans are randomly paired with the winers from R2 QF: Remainng clans ranked 1-4 are randomly paired with those ranked 4-8 SF: Remaining clans ranked 1-2 are randomly paried with those ranked 3-4
4b:
R1: Clans ranked 17-24 are paired with the clans ranked 25-32 using the system 17v32; 18v31 ... 24v25 R2: Clans ranked 9-16 are paired with the 8 winners from R1. 9v(24v25); 10v(23v26) ... 16v(17v32) R3 Clans ranked 1-8 clans are paired with the winners from R2. 1-8. 1v[16v(17v32)]; 2v[15v(18v31)] ... 8v[9v(24v25)] QF: Remaining 8 clans - draw system tbc. SF: Remaining 4 clans - draw system tbc
This is bracket proposed by qwert (4a) and myself (4b). Bracket format is exactly the same so I agree it can be put as the same option in voting process, so I agree the presented jpg bracket format used by qwert is used also for 4b. There is just one difference in the proposals regarding to draw. My proposal is fixed seeding draw with nothing random, and his proposal is semi-random draw (I would not call it totally random because he still has half of clans seeds, and just lower half of clans are paired random).
Please make just a minor change in my format proposal 4b: QF: Remaining 8 clans - 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 (or winners of their previous matches) SF: Remaining 4 clans - 1v4, 2v3 (or winners of their previous matches)
Also, one question for qwert for proposal 4a, as I am not sure if I understand his idea in total: Which is time of making draw for each round in your idea? Is it the whole draw for the whole tournament made at the beginning of the tournament (draw is made just once during the tournament), or draw for every round will be done before start of the round according to current rank at the date of every draw (draw is made before every round = 5 times during the tournament)?
EDIT: I would like to call option 4 "Progressive Format" instead of "Alternative Format". Progressive because clans are making progress from early rounds playing by lower clans, and every next round is giving them stronger opposition, so how they progress throughout the bracket, opponents become stronger.

If you make voting principle like IcePack is proposing, then he can make group of 5 players who support his idea, convince the group to make 5 additional different proposals, and then convince them to always put his the strongest opposition proposal at the bottom of the list. I am not saying he would do that,I just say he can do that. Only existing the chance for voting manipulation is enough reason to not accept voting system which allows any kind of voting manipulation. We have many voting principles used throughout the world in its democracy, and I cannot remember a single system where voters are leveling their choices by giving them different ranks.
Re voting choice, the ranking systems do exist but I'm not saying it's necessarily the best option here. We wiill look at the fairest system to use in this case.
I disagree with Josko, the options should be presented clearly and concisely but with absolutely nothing added to influence the voters. Just the options plain and simple.

This accomplishes everything in 1 vote. You already said if your vote method doesn't produce a winner you'd need another vote. Mine is simpler

My system will for sure produce winner format which majority of is wants. Your system can at first hand allow more manipulation with votes, at second jand it is possible to produce a result that nobody likes (it is possible that solution which everyone put on second place at the end wins. At third, I know why you like this voting system, bbecause it is favorising your idea of no changing format. If someone likes one idea and no strong opinion about which idea dislikes, in majority cases that clan will put old system on second place, just because it has already worked while 3rd and 4th example never worked for real.
the only way your method would work is if votes are sent to clan mods first before posting then once they have all votes documented they post them all... i would also say that 2nd 3rd and 4th vote does not get taken into account unless there is a tie for first place then only the vote options that were tied get tallied up for total amount of points or else you could end up with a option no clan wanted.

If there will be vote on a vote then i would propose third option, similar like your but points do not go 4,3,2,1 but rather go exponential 8,4,2,1. First choice of anyone need to have more weight than 4 Points compared to 3 points which is almost no difference.

Is it the whole draw for the whole tournament made at the beginning of the tournament (draw is made just once during the tournament), or draw for every round will be done before start of the round according to current rank at the date of every draw (draw is made before every round = 5 times during the tournament)?
well, its could made draw in advance for each round, or could make draw when each round are finished. Its depend what people like, if they want to have supprise,then draw will be after each finished round,, if they dont want supprise, then draw could be in advance.
One addition, what its written in scheme,,its that for top 8 , bracket could be transfered in normal bracket, and these mean that, you could have fixed bracket, where competition continue like normal bracket: example Top 16> [winner 1 vs winner 2] vs [winner 3 vs winner 4]
or total random--8 winners in one pot>random paired
you have many variations, and could add many interesting ending with these kind of bracket competition. Its up to people to decide what sound most interesting for play.
