Prep minimums

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on minimum prep pulls.

 

Clans have recently integrated a 'prep minimum' where both ranks of x and y clan agree on a minimum pull for a clan wars fight. For example: if a minimum of 25 persons is agreed to, and clan x pulls 25, but clan y only pulls 24, clan y must fight down 1 person.

 

You can argue that this encourages clans to pull more, and have higher opted fights. I mean, does clan x - who pulls 50 - really want to prep clan y - who pulls 25 - when this means they have to sit around half of their pull?

 

But, at the same time, aren't clan wars fights supposed to be fair, 1 vs. 1, MATCHED fights to see who the better man for man clan is? It is a very real scenario that one clan can meet the minimum, but have 10 invites, and the opposing clan misses out on the minimum by 1 person, and then has to fight down 1. Doesn't this make the whole 'prep minimum' rule redundant?

 

This poses a few questions for me...

 

  • Is this a healthy direction for clan wars fights?
  • Is this a rule brought in by clans who create unrealistic minimums for their opponents, just to make off with cheap wins? 
  • Would 'prep mins' even be a thing if it wasn't for sharkbrew and it's Clan Wars League Table? 
  • Are clans and their leaders scared to lose incase it makes them look bad?
  • Should clans be punished if they do not meet the agreed minimum pull?

 

Discuss.

Is this a rule brought in by clans who create unrealistic minimums for their opponents, just to make off with cheap wins? 

 

No, it's a rule brought in to avoid sitting a large amount of members.

 

Would 'prep mins' even be a thing if it wasn't for sharkbrew and it's Clan Wars League Table?  

 

 

They are older than Sharkbrew, so yes.

 

Are clans and their leaders scared to lose incase it makes them look bad?

 

Yes, but this is unrelated to prep minimums.

 

Should clans be punished if they do not meet the agreed minimum pull?

 

Yes, because they agreed to it.  That's a cauliflower question.

In certain circumstances its necessary, eg. a few months ago before EoP slumped CP when CP were pulling like 90 to trips and 20 to preps so that they could try and claim they had any quality whatsoever by only allowing their ranks and oldschool to attend matched preps, in instances like this a minimum is clearly needed.
