Ladies and Gentlemen I am excited to announce the Clan vs Clan “Armageddon” tournament
The aims of this tournament
- To be inclusive, keeping as many players involved for as long as possible.
- To bring together players of opposing clans and keep the community interaction positive.
- To have a damn good time.
Clans are invited to participate by putting forward 6 of their players to enter. Those 6 players will be separated into groups, where they will be placed with one member from each other competing clan. That’s 6 groups total as each clan are putting forward 6 players. The strongest player from each clan will be seeded into the same group group. The rest will be randomised.
Once the tournament begins, each weekend you will play one member from an opposing clan 3 times in your respective group. All fixtures will be announced at a later date before the tournament starts.
Points and Winnings
All points you earn are put towards the grand total for your clan.
-
You will receive 3 points for each battle you win.
-
Winning all 3 battles against your opponent wins the full 9 points, plus an additional bonus point.
-
You receive 1 point if you draw and 0 for a loss.
-
At the end of the tournament the players in 1st and 2nd place on their group receive an additional point for their clan. This will be doubled to two points for the seeded group only, consisting of the top player in each clan.
-
The clan with the biggest grand total of points at the end of the tournament will be declared the winners.
Each of the 6 players who entered on behalf of this clan will receive 8 gems. The runner up clan will receive 5 gems in the same fashion.
Rules
The 3 matches will always be played under the following rules in the following order:
Battle 1
Your team must not exceed 173 cost.
All Secret skills must be on and cannot be turned off.
The following monsters are banned from this match only:
Any monster with a COST ranging between 0-4
Canishogun
Battle 2
You can only use two elements in your team. Each week, a particular element will also be banned. This will be determined by the order they appear on the filter and search function of the game.
Week 1 - Earth
Week 2 - Fire
Week 3 - Air
Week 4 - Water
Week 5 - Holy and Dark
Battle 3
No special rules apply.
————————————
Any monster within the rules who summons another monster who would otherwise be banned whether it be by element or cost, is allowed. Such as dolphreeze, Motor Dragon, Aurodragon and Atrahasis.
For example Diamonoid would be banned from Battle 1 due to being 2 cost, but if it gets summoned by dolphreeze who isn’t banned, that’s ok.
Example 2: In battle 2 you’re using holy and Dark. Your Atrahasis might a revive an enemy’s searguard who is fire, that’s ok.
Infringing on these rules will cost your clan 2 points. A second occasion may subject you to a tournament ban, forfeiting all points.
Substitutions
A clan may substitute a different clan member to play all 3 matches on their behalf against an opponent. The substitutes must use their own account and must play all 3 matches. No prior warning is necessary to the opposing player. Each clan has a maximum of 4 substitutions that they can use throughout the whole tournament. A substitute cannot be one of the clan members already entered into the tournament as one of the starting 6 players.
Communication
Remember that you are responsible for organising the time of your own matches. A no show results in the opponent being awarded the full 10 points and you will also lose 2 points for your clan.
The Line App will be the primary method of communication for the fixtures. It is strongly advised that you set up a group with your group, as per one of the aims. If one person in your group does not use Line, use the forum to liaise with them directly.
The council
In order to make the rules fair and accessible for all, I set up a council of players who all contributed in some way and green lighted the tournament rules and regulations. One member for each active clan that I’m aware of. When you complete a match, inform the council member from your clan and they will forward it to me to collate. If a clan enters who does not have a member on the council, please put one forward. Any tournament disputes will be reviewed by the council and you can go to them for questions too. They are:
ONE Lemon Squeezy 
RISE Squinty
TNC Magic
KLF Anna
LDN Raghnius
DLGZ Xixi
As I said, any clan can enter.
If all clans agree on that they can put forward more than 6 players; then we will do so, however if one clan can not afford a 7th player, it will remain at 6 players for all clans.
- Tournament start date: 18/01/20
- Player registration deadline: 20/12/19
Also credit to Sherlock, who’s previous rules provided some inspiration for battle 2.
Dev VKC requested that battles are recorded and shared on here. As well as team screenshots.
This will be a recurring tournament if it proves successful. Each week I will update the scores.
Good luck to everyone who enters. This is going to be big.

Please record battles where possible and put screenshots of the teams you use either here on this thread or sent to @Killerdog via message so they can be put into the Community tournament records thread.
I’m sure the players who are in clans, especially the 6 put forward will have enough monsters to deal with it.
