I have made it my personal goal to harass TBest. In the odds that we need more volunteers to get the administration/hosting process going, I'll at least do what I can to keep us making progress.
Notably I don't know a lick of programming, so anything CLOT-related will have to defer to someone else's expertise. If worst comes to worst this has been run without CLOTs, and we can survive doing so again.
Would anyone else be willing to pledge to help set up next season if needed?

It would be nice if there was some form of official communication, If it's on a break period, that's fine with Christmas coming up but at least communicate that.
If it's left in the dark than people are going to be confused and not sure what to expect in the future. If it's not on the break period, a schedule with the events planned to happen (e.g Template vote-ins) that have tentative dates would be welcomed for Clan Leaders especially, since they have to organize and make the line-ups.

Expect some forum threads on/around 1st Jan. I have been hoping to get the CLOT, but that is not looking likely at this point and 1st Jan is the arbitrary deadline I picked for going back to tournaments.

Case: ONE! Incident: Beren and Wick had already begun playing a CL 2v2 tournament. Wick planned to retire and not having the time to continue actively playing, they explicitly broke the rules by deciding Malakkan would take over Wick's account to avoid being booted in ongoing games.
N.B. Malakkan was later officially substituted in to play the remainder of the tournament. Beren came forward with this case, though Malakkan has provided sufficient evidence showing he was at least equally involved in the decision to come forward. His verdict below has been similarly reduced as a result.
Verdict:
3 slot reduction (2 slot reduction for next season, followed by 1 slot reduction in the following season.)
Case: Lu Fredd Incident: Max and Lucien cooperated in recreating ongoing CL games using a custom scenario to simulate the game. By CL 9 it was widely understood this was not allowed, though the rules were still not specific. Their claim is that both players were new to CL, unfamiliar with the less specifically stated rules, and that their clan leader also failed to communicate this aspect of the cheating rule to the players. From the games we were provided with, an unwillingness to log into another's account to play turns because it is against CL rules would also seem to support the claim that there was no actual intent to gain an unfair advantage i.e. cheat, when this rule was broken.
N.B. Max came forward with this case. Given all the particular circumstances around this case, the committee came to the decision that the base verdict that has been used thus far in other cases was not entirely necessary here, and would be lowered.
