Celebrating the 14th Edition show: a little history
In January 2010, Chuuuuck started the first Annual Conqueror's Cup. It was obviously a success, since then we have had one (almost) every year. Over the years we have had some minor changes to the format. For 2016 (CC6) the clan department revamped the tournament to keep the duration down to about a year. The basics have remained the same for the past 13 years though. Now, in 2024, we run the 14th edition!2010: CC1 - TO: Chuuuuck - Clans: 17; KORT beat THOTA in the final.

This is a clan war tournament with a single elimination bracket. There is a limit of 32 clans participating and 8 clans will be seeded. The finalists of CC13 will be the first 2 seeds*, the other 6 will be based on the January 2024 D400 Clan Ranking . In case of byes, the higher seeds will get those. The rest of the bracket will be filled randomly. *First place will be 1st seed and second place 2nd seed. If final match does not have an official winner by the time the six week deadline needs to be announced for one of the matches in question, the January 2024 D400 ranking will be used to determine seeding.

Scheduling show: CC14 estimated schedule by round
Start round 1: January 2024 Start round 2: February/March 2024 Start round 3: June/July 2024 Start final: September/October 2024
show: scheduling clan wars
From the start of any round, clans have 6 weeks to have all games started. 1 Week for negotiating and posting the war thread 2 Weeks for planning and exchanging the first set of games 2 Weeks for filling the first set of games and exchanging the second set of games 1 Week to fill all games Clans are free to negotiate and deviate from the default schedule, as long as they meet the 6 week deadline to have all games started. If clans negotiated a schedule different than the default schedule (never exceeding the 6 weeks) it has to be posted in the war thread. See "Clan War threads" below. IMPORTANT: If no deviations of the default schedule are agreed upon and posted within 1 week, the default schedule stands. In regards to exchanging games based on the default schedule, the home clan must create AND invite their players to those games, in order for the games to be considered "exchanged". Participating clans are solely and totally responsible for meeting the 6 week deadline. There will be no mercy. Not meeting the deadline will have consequences!There will be a hard set deadline of 5 weeks to have all games created. If a clan does not have all home games created by the 5 week deadline, one game will be forfeited for every day that clan fails to create their games. If after 1 week there are still games that have not been created, the offending clan will be disqualified. A clan will ALWAYS be allowed 7 days to fill the other clan's home games. They will receive an extension to fill away games of however many days a home clan is late in creating. Which means if the other clan creates their home games 3 days late, the away clan will be given an extension of 3 days to fill those games without incurring penalties. If the games are created on time and the away clan fails to fill those games within the 6 week deadline, they will forfeit one game for every day they are late in filling (this means the games are actually started, not just invites sent). If after 1 week there are still games that have not been started, the offending clan will be disqualified.

Majority of the people didn't like this 2 years ago, I even cant find this being agreed in a CAT voting as well, there was a conversation tho.
So I wonder how it ended up in CC 14, and why other things that were talked about(and also didn't had voting on) didn't ended in CC 14?

The default schedule (and general rules) did not have any indication at all as to the expectations for filling home games. This was a problem we identified and felt needed some clarification. Although it was discussed in CAT, the CD team was already planning to adjust the rules around this issue before those discussions. You are correct that this did not go to CAT voting, although there are many aspects of the rules that we will run through CAT before changing, changes to the admin side, specifically around ensuring the event runs in a smooth and timely matter will generally not go through CAT.
There were other discussions in CAT, but no other topic had enough positive support to warrant a vote other than the trench game limit.

Just an FYI to everyone, both for CC wars as they are happening now, and wars in general. You are not supposed to be requesting privileges until both clans agree to terms. The reasoning is that asking for privileges notifies us that a war is ready to be given privileges, but if the terms haven't been agreed upon by both sides then it isn't ready to be given privileges. Later once it is agreed on by both sides we won't know unless we are actively checking your war thread. This is adding an extra step for us forcing us to regularly check your threads to see if terms are agreed on yet.
