Official Monthly Challenge for July 2014
Brought to you by DoomYoshi and the Community Team


CLICK HERE TO JOIN GAMES

By the time you read this, the Group stage of the World Cup will be over and we will be entering the tournament bracket. Hopefully, your favorite teams will have advanced. Hopefully, match fixing will be at an all-time low. Hopefully, you will enjoy this challenge.

This challenge is taken (almost completely) from an idea that Blitzkrieg Frank put together. This is our first community developed challenge. Hopefully there will be more, using a different format.

FAQs

Who can play a Challenge?
All challenges are open to everyone, although freemiums may have a problem meeting the game load.

How do we join?
All you have to do is a)create games that meet the requirements or b)join games that meet the requirements. They can be private, public or even tournament games. Team CC is not creating any games, the whole thing is done by users. There is a game-join link at the top of the first post.

What are the prizes?
For reaching the Challenge Goal you get one of the rarest medals on the site, the Challenge medal. Challenges only come around once, if you miss it, you won't ever have another chance.
Image
For scoring the most points in the Challenge: 1 Green Conquer Star
Image
For those who finish in 2nd-5th place in the Challenge and achieve the Goal: 1 Blue Conquer Star
Image

When do I get my prize?
Soon after you meet the requirements!

How is deadbeating dealt with?
Please report deadbeats in your games, I will do a random check. Inventory items will stay, but medals might be taken away if the deadbeats points do not allow for a medal.

Rulings
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit count as normal wins.
3. Games can always have round limits but they never need to.
4. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of August.
5. Bot games do not score tokens.

OK, so
5 points for: Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Italy, USA, Germany, England, Ancient Greece, Portugal, France, Mexico
10 points for: World Cup 2014
15 points for: Brazil

As I read the explanation it sounded like there was a group stage or some kind of tournament format...

I won game Game 14602591 and didn't receive the the silver token for the July challenge. After doing some research there have been 3 games finished that should have gotten the token and the logs do not indicate this. Thanks

World Cup was accidentally left off the list of medal maps. It should be fixed, and I am going through to award anyone who got missed.

No. Brazil did also qualify though, but they qualified via being the host.

I dont think you can add that ruling after the challenge has started. You can have it as a standing ruling for tournies from this point forward or for this one even from this point forward but to suddenly add it in the middle isnt right
just saying.... You cant make up the rules as you go along -
