Any clans which plan on participating in CL12 need to confirm that by posting on this thread. Please provide a primary and secondary point of contact with profile links. Both the clan leaders must be in the clan.
We will reach out to these clan leaders for anything related to the clan league. If they need to be changed during the course of the season, you can do that on this thread as well.

Even if you were a part of CL11, we require confirmation from your clan that you intend to participate in CL12. The deadline for sign-up is specified in the schedule. Once the signup process has ended the different divisions will be posted.

Example Signup
Warzone Staff will play.

Anyone in the clan league can submit templates for consideration here. The deadline for submissions is two weeks from the time of this post. In past CL's there have been an issue of many templates being submitted prior to voting. From CL 9 and on, the template pool have been reduced prior to voting. If you want to aid in such a task and considers yourself an expert on different templates then feel free to volunteer in this post (recommended) or contact me by other means. Volunteering does not guarantee a spot on the template panel.

The templates will be pruned down to a manageable list (twelve 1v1s, six 2v2s, four 3v3s) by the template panel. The panel is responsible for ensuring diversity across templates, maps and settings. They will also try their best to alternate between similar templates(Strat ME, Strat MME) and ensure such templates rotate every other season.

Once this panel has pruned the list to a manageable size, all A and B clans will be asked to vote on templates. To eliminate strategic voting, voting will be done by assigning templates with a value on 1-5. The templates with the most points will be chosen. Ties will be broken by the template panel. The panel is encouraged to make it so that the template picked in that scenario would be the least similar to those already picked.

List the template name, and a link to a game, to nominate it.

Rules - Page 1

Clan Leaders
Every clan must submit a primary and secondary point of contact.
Submit Roster and Lineup. If we do not receive a full roster on time, the clan is removed from the league and the next clan is bumped up.
A clan contact can manage substitution, change point of contact or other actions on behalf of the clan.
Div A and Div B clan managers can vote on templates.
Templates
Phases
1. Proposal of templates will be open to the community at large.
2. A small panel of top players will cut this pool of templates down to a manageable number(12 1v1, 6 2v2, 4 3v3) and eliminate unsuitable templates. The members of this panel should not represent the interests of their clan. They are simply representing the community as a whole and coming up with the best shortlist of templates possible.
3. All clans leaders in Group A and B will be asked to vote on templates. To eliminate strategic voting, voting will be done by assigning templates with a value on 1-5. The templates with the most points will be chosen. Ties will be broken by the template panel. The panel is encouraged to make it so that the template picked in that scenario would be the least similar to those already picked.
We will set a deadline for sending in your votes. If a clan misses that deadline, we will assume that they do not wish to contribute to this process. There will be no extensions for any clan.
If a player is assigned to a template, he/she must be able to create a game on that template(i.e, unlock all features of that template). This is a restriction of using CLOTs and will only be enforced if CL is using automation.
Roster
Every clan can submit a roster of up to 27 players. Every player in the line-up must be a part of the roster.
Any player present in a clan's roster must also be a member of that clan on the date of the submission deadline.
If a player with accounts in 2 clans is enlisted by both clans, they will be removed from both clans' rosters. The player can clarify with the CL panel who they wish to play for.
In the event of a substitution, a clan can only pick a player on their roster.
Alt Accounts
Due to the vacations rule, alt accounts will be allowed to accommodate those who need to vacation on their main account. The account you decide to use is the only one you will be allowed to use through the duration of Clan League 12
All alts must be announced to me (Cowboy) via PM with their main account. If this is not done, it will result in forfeiture of all points in games played by that player, and the player will be banned for a season.
The two season transfer window still applies regardless of what account you use.
Clan movement/ representation
Every player must be in the clan they represent on the start date of CL 12.
If a player played for Clan X in CL 9 and moved to clan Y in CL 10, then they can not represent Clan X in CL 11. This rule is meant to stop free movement of players and restrict the advantages gained via allied clans (For ex - FakeNamePlayer for Masters/Apex, Lynx/101st, Masters/Apprentice, GG/GGr etc). The only exception to this rule is if Clan X drops out of the Clan League.
Note : This rule was tweaked from CL 10 rules. The extra waiting time was reduced from 2 to 1 CL.
Line-up
If CLOT : A player must be able to create a game by themselves on the template(i.e, unlock all features used on that template including the map itself). So, clans will have to watch out for this and accordingly choose their line-ups. We'll post the minimum level requirements for each template
Every clan must submit a lineup to fill all their slots(six 1v1, 2 * three 2v2, 3 * two 3v3). In total there are 18 slots per clan. A player can be put in a maximum of 3 slots. Any player listed in a clan's line-up must be a member of that clan on the date of the submission deadline.
Vacation
Vacations will not be honored this CL. Instead each game will be given 3 days boot and 15 days banked time
Players can return to games after being booted will be increased, as banked time of other players will be used when a player might be on vacation. This gives more flexibility than just the 10 days.
Games obviously cannot be joined while you are on vacation. It is expected at some point between extending vacations you will be expected to join. You will be given 20 days to join a game while on vacation, (otherwise 3).
Substitution
Every clan can replace 12 slots(out of 18) over the course of the season. If player represents 3 slots, they can be partially replaced and continue to play some of the slots as well(i.e, substiuted in some,but not necesserily all of their slots). If a clan has used up 12 substitutions over the season, it cannot make any further ones regardless of the circumstances.
In the event of a substitution, the on-going games for the retired player will not be remade. Only games which have not been created will be allotted to the substitute. Both players will use up a slot playing this tournament. A substitution can be carried out by the CL staff. We will guarantee the substitution within a maximum of 3 days. Any new games created within this 3 day period for the retired player may be forfeit as well.
Do not take control of a retired player's account to save their current games. These games should be forfeit as a penalty for retiring the player.
Any substitution requests should be made only by clan leaders on the designated forum thread. It is also reccomened to send a PM to Main Administrator and/or Division Organizer refering to the forum post. Communication on the forum serves as notification for everyone. If no one has responded to a substitution request in 3 days, please reach out to the CL panel.
The forum post must state. 1. Player subbed out. 2 Player subbed in. 3 Tornument in which the substitution is done. 4. (optional, but recomended ) Number of subs the clan has left.
Mideason Registration
Midseason registration will be added. The window will be from day 35 and day 45.
You may add as many new accounts as you like up to the roster limit.
You may remove players from your original roster to make room if they haven't been on your lineup at any time.
Players cannot join a clan's roster if they're already on another clan's roster.
Makeup games
No makeup games AT ALL. (For games that have not yet started a clan can do a Substitution.)
Scoring
3 pts 1v1, 4 pts 2v2, 5 pts 3v3. Tiebreakers in order : head-to-head record (number of wins), Tournament wins, Tournament 2nd places ...
Promotion/Relegation
For A, B, and C, typical procedures apply. 2 promote, 2 demote. For D1 and D2 the procedure will be that the winners of each division promotes to C. In the case of there being 1 D division, it will be the standard 2 promote. Standard Division sizes are 7 per division, if the bottom 2 divisions cannot meet the required 7 each the pool will be split in 2 based off seeding, or lumped into one larger division if the numbers allow it.
Game Scheduling
For team games the schedule will consist of 2 games added every 25 days with a staggered start. For instance, you will get a game on Days 1, 10, 25, 35, 50, 60, and 75. Due to divisions being made of 7 clans, the schedule will include a bye on one of these days.
For 1v1s, games will be created every 10 days with the start of the tourney being at various points across the season.
Seeding
Seeding will first and foremost be decided by the results of the previous season.
If a clan had played in 2 or 3 seasons prior, they can claim the next seeds based of Last Played Seasons, Then Division, Then Placement in that Division.
All clans not under these parameters will be randomly seeded.
Criteria for Claiming a Clan Spot
The following lays out the scenarios in which a clan's spot could change hands:
If a clan X retains active players who accounted for one third of their slots (6/18) and one third of their scored points then it is guaranteed to retain its spot.
If clan X splits and X does not retain both one third of their slots and of their points, another new clan Y can claim the spot if they have active players accounting for one third of that clan's slots and points. If X didn't meet the requirements, while two different clans Y and Z do and both claim the spot then the spot is awarded to neither clan and both must start from the bottom.
Say, Clan X got 90pts and needs 30pts to retain its spot in CL11. Player A, B and C played on a 3v3 tournament where they won 15pts but now only Player A is left in Clan X. In this case player A would account for 5 points(not 15)
If a player goes AWOL (or is suspended from CL), he doesn't count toward meeting the 1/3 of players requirement. None of the points he won count either. If this player was on a team, the points will be pro-rated.
Cheating
Cheating can result in a warning, ban/suspension or loss of points (as determined by the ethics panel)
Help in ongoing games
It is prohibited to get help or advice in a Clan League game from any player who is not playing in that game. If this happens, both parties are considred to have transgressed and be subject to potential sanctions. Note : A player who is subbed out of a game is considred to not be a player in that game.
Taking over accounts
It is prohibited to take over someone's account. This is very hard to police, and we're relying on trust. But if someone goes inactive, just substitute them. Do not take control of a retired player's account to save their current games. These games should be forfeit as a penalty for retiring the player.

Rules - Page 2

Stalling
Excessive stalling (extending a game beyond a reasonable limit) will be handled by the ethics panel. Two offenses are a warning and the third offense is a 1 slot ban.
Forum spamming
The panel reserves the right to ban any player for a season for excessive spamming on the CL forum threads. Harassing the panel will result in a ban as well(You will be warned once). Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but please express it in a respectful manner.
Anything else
f you believe there is some obvious rule which we've missed, point it out at the start of the season. We will use our best judgement as a panel to resolve issues which are not covered by the rules listed above.

They must also be in your clan to be on your roster.

I added a post about the changes in format and scheduling, and I am about to create a rough draft of the schedule.

So, people are actually okay with no vacations honored? Feels like a decision that needs to be discussed further.

Did i miss an announcement about vacations not being honored? In the rules it clearly states they are. I'd love for that to change though; screw vacations in CL

Yeah, but Tornado look at the allowances made to ensure that there is still plenty of flexibility. I think it's a fair compromise to try and speed CL up.
