@Viking1007 - I would say its probably May 15th.

From here - "Wednesday May 15: Tournament creation (cycle 1), implicitly also the roster/lineup deadline." (Math Wolf, 1st post this page)

I'm assuming the tourneys start as soon as created

Wow, this series seems very cool! And very professional organized!
I'm very excited to see how it will look like in practice.
Especially this part is very exciting for me

There are no further rules, just play the game. Taking over accounts, using alts, switching clans, playing with different accounts over different seasons, discussing moves with others, playing for different clans, teaming with your alt, ... it's all allowed. You could even use a "Clan account" to play and discuss moves in your clan forum (just don't complain if your opponent has a spy in your clan). Breaking Warzone rules is of course not allowed but will not be penalized by Clan Cup organizers.

because I proposed similar thing for CL during the last drama, and I plan to use similar rules in my next AWP project (so will be well tested until that :))
And I like the diplo feeling, such as the potential backstabbing when shared clan account using :)
It will be a spy game between the clans, as an additional level (risk/reward decisions for clan leader) :)

I very look forward to the first cycle to start!

On an unrelated note, I am looking for a new clan.

I can vouch for FSGs surrender skills.

Dear all,

The 6 tournaments have been determined. See the post above for details.

Please send your lineups to this account before May 15 (Reason: practicality: 11 PMs on this account, more than 200 on the main). Note: new clans can still join anytime. This means that if you join before May 15 and send your lineup in time, you can still join cycle 1 as well.

I will likely create the tournaments on May 15 when it's evening in Europe (barring real-life restrictions). 1v1 tournaments will be created with this account, 2v2 tournaments with my main account (due to tournament limits per account).

After tournament creation, there will be 5 days to join. There will be no late joining and no subbing, so please send your lineups in time. Lineups can be edited as much as you like before the deadline and do not need to be complete: you can leave tournaments empty. Accounts that play for your clan must be in the clan at the time that I create the tournament, if they are not, they will not be invited.

Edited 5/11/2019 14:44:24

Reminder: only 4 days until tournaments for cycle 1 will be created.

Info: a google document has been created to keep track of everything, you are welcome to comment on this as well (but not edit).

Less than 24 hours before tournaments are made.

Cycle 1 tournaments have been created, links on the first page.
Half of them have 15 clans joining, the other half 16.
Please join within 5 days.

Please take note of the upcoming schedule:

• ~ end of May: draw of clans who can decide templates for cycle 2.
  
• ~ June 15: deadline for submitting the templates for cycle 2.
  
• ~ July 15: tournament creation (cycle 2)
  
  
• ~end of July / September / November / ... - clan draw for template selection
  
• ~mid August / October / December / ... - deadline for template submission
  
• ~mid September / November / January / ... - tournament creation
  

The clans that will be part of the draw will be all clans that joined at least one tournament in cycle 1 and did not choose a template for cycle 1 unless they explicitly indicate they will not join for cycle 2.
{101st}, Outlaws, Statisticians, SNinja, Hawks, CORP, Avengers, [V.I.W], USSR, Blitz

For the next cycle, I will contact every clan personally after June 15 to make sure everyone is aware of the chosen templates and the deadline for submitting the lineups for the next cycle.

Cycle 1 is well on the way, with about half of the first round 1v1 match-ups in the books. As expected, 2v2 is a lot slower.
The most recent rankings can always be found at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m1LHE-fg8_SjmfsnUWx971-LneIpVGFhMWmFiFftmMI

Below is the template selection draw for cycle 2.

> sample(c("{101st}","Avengers","Blitz","CORP","Hawks","Outlaws","SNinja","Statisticians","USSR","[V.I.W]"),6)
[1] "Avengers"      "SNinja"        "Hawks"         "[V.I.W]"       "Outlaws"       "Statisticians"
> sample(c(rep("1v1",4),rep("2v2",2)))
[1] "1v1" "2v2" "1v1" "1v1" "1v1" "2v2"

• 1v1 templates for cycle 2 can be chosen by:
  Avengers
  Hawks
  [V.I.W.]
  Outlaws
  
• 2v2 templates for cycle 2 can be chosen by:
  SNinja
  Statisticians
  
• I will send a PM to all contacts of these clans, you can propose your template (preferably through an example game) as a reply to that PM.

Templates of cycle 1 cannot be chosen. Deadline for template selection is approximately mid June.

I can vouch for fivestargeneral’s vacation skills

Clan Polish Eagles would like to join

By the way, could someone explain me how does "vacation NOT allowed with autocommit" work now?

Edited 6/5/2019 14:48:51

Autocommit means that if you put in some orders, these will be automatically committed instead of getting booted at the moment you would normally be booted (e.g. 5 minutes in RT, 3 days in MD, etc).
With typical 3 day boot, that means you can input orders (without committing) in the first day and only have the turn advance at the 3 day mark. Turn advancing through autocommit does not break an ongoing vacation.

In Clan Cup, there is an additional 5 day banked boot.
This means that you would only be booted after 8 days: 3 days normally + the 5 days bank. So you could put in orders on the first day without committing and then go on vacation. These orders will be committed automatically on day 8. The turn then advances and you have another 3 days to commit the next turn, which is in total (almost) 11 days from the moment you put in the orders before going on vacation.
At that 11 day mark (3 days after the turn advanced), you need to have new orders in.
They don't actually need to be committed if you don't want to break an ongoing vacation as you can again wait for the autocommit to do this for you. But after using up all the banked time, you do need to have orders in at the 3 day mark after every turn advances.

So although vacation is not respected, you do get a one-time (per game) period of 11 days that you don't have to be online, and you can keep vacations running in other games if you put in orders without clicking commit (clicking commit in any game will break vacation!)

Use autocommit wisely, there is a forum post by Fizzer to highlights the dangers. For Clan Cup specifically: always check that orders are stored on the server by leaving a game and returning to it. If the orders are still there, it means they were stored. (Especially important if you may have spotty internet connection.)

Let me know if this is all clear or if any further explanation is needed.

Now everything is clear. It's worth adding that you have to make at least one deploy or order not to be booted.

WARNING: with the update of May 27, banked times got wiped in some ongoing games (official confirmation). All games from before May 27 may be affected, games from after that date, including future games will be fine.

For Clan Cup specifically, this may affect all first round games and the few second round games started before May 27. Please do check if you have banked time left (in the upper right corner).

Apologies for this inconvenience.
