The New System

For quite a long time we have had great competition within both systems. Lately, the community has been facing a lack of activity in the wilderness and largely in clan wars. Besides this, other internal problems within each system have caused some frenzy as well. We have been attempting to revamp both systems for a few months and now have decided to merge the systems within a table system harboured in standings much like in Soccer. Your wilderness AND prep activity will contribute to a monthly score which will determine your standing in the Clan Table.

One of the important thing we want this merge to do is allow clans to reflect on any negative actions they might be committing. For example, if you bring mains or cape switch, that sort of behaviour will reflect directly onto your monthly score. Another example is, if you only do one server or only preps, this system will encourage ranks to pursuit the other server or the wilderness. We, as the staff, do not want to intervene or punish clans, but rather influence them.

Note that we have contacted most clan ranks and collected information via Sharkbrew Ambassador boards & pms/IRC for several weeks now. Most of the feedback recieved has been pro-merge. Remember, most of these rules/changes were decided collectively.

This system will be launched starting February.

I will be responsible for coding the system with Slush's help. If this goes well I'll be able to help Slush to lift some pressure of him as well & scripts for your clans.

Table Standings System

Example: https://i.gyazo.com/775723a5bd7605d151bf958f4f6ce992.png

With a table/standings structure, the community will be able to visually see who is currently on top.

Why is this beneficial/relevant?

1. Opinions are one thing, and an actual table demonstrating monthly performance is another i.e. pure statistics, both in the wilderness and in clan wars.

2. Visual view of all clan's standings instead of searching through a large list & top/low tier view, both monthly and annually.

3. Easier to handle farming via declarations.

4. Easier to determine who is in the lead if a tiebreaker occurs e.g. w/l ratio. Priority: Total points, W/L ratio, Main shame, and Ignorers Shame.

5. Peak pulls will be recorded and placed on the table for just another statistical factor, but will not be used within the system to determine winners or tiebreakers.

Merged System Benefits

Why is this merge beneficial?

1. Clans must compete in both CW and Wildy, not just one. This means a clans overall performance will speak, not just one factor e.g. stronger core in clan wars.

2. No clan can abuse ONLY one system alone to gain an award or attack another clan's chances at winning.

3. Unacceptable tactics are punished overall. If a clan uses mains in the wilderness, they will also be punished in terms of clan wars activity.

4. People can't attack one award e.g. WCOTM for farmed wins, and will have to bow down to a single winner competing both in CW and Wildy. I.e. its easier to farm for WCOTM or COTM only than both at the same time.

5. Easier to handle and be more productive for a single system - ALL staff working on one system (more brainpower) than split 4-3 on diff. systems.

6. No need to have tons of rules, guidelines etc. topics all around the place. e.g. COTM has topics in 3 diff. sections whilst WCOTM has topics in diff. places too. Its confusing or not structured. Less reading for clan ranks.

Points System & Rules

Clan Wars scoring

Only BO3s and BO5s (extra +0.10) count. 2 BO3s OR 1 BO3 & 1 BO5 counts per day.

F2P and P2P wins give +0.50 points. No server difference.

25v25 minimum. 35v35+ adds +0.10. 45v45+ adds +0.20. 50v50+ adds +0.30. 80v80+ adds +1.

No participation or loss points given/taken.

 

Wilderness scoring

Verified Weekend Trips, F2P and P2P gives +0.40.

Verified Midweeks +0.05. Minimum pull will be devised.

Verified PKRIs +0.10. Minimum pull will be devised.

For PKRI topics to be Verified, we expect to see good evidence of action against well-established pure clans. Randoms or Mains clans/teams will count as a Midweek. You can only get 2 topics Verified per day, Midweek and/or PKRI, one for EST and one for GMT. We will need solid evidence of the times.

This means you can have either a PKRI or Midweek topic per EST and GMT. More detail on timezones will be out in the mega-thread soon.

 

Breaking rules

If a clan is verified to using mains, their standings will be effected for -1 points, and the topic at hand will be negated & tagged as 'MAIN'. This sets them back pretty far. Clans using mains will have column between 1/8 and 8/8 on the table for shame.

Within clan wars, usage of cape switching, breaking base rules etc. will lead to the topic being negated. Other clans can dispute preps they weren't involved in.

 

Declarations

Maximum of 2 declarations per month.

Clans can declare between 10th and 20th. Clans are given 5 days to respond. The declaration prep must occur within the month.

Clans can only declare on a clan 1 +/- basis e.g. if A is first, B is second, C is third, and D is fourth, then B can only declare on A or C, not D. This prevents farming to a degree.

Ignoring declarations -0.25. Ignored winners get +0.25 (server/opts etc. do not matter). Ignorers will have column between 1/2 and 2/2 on the table for shame. This prevents opt farming.

Fighting and winning declarations leads to the base clan-wars points & an additional +0.20.

 

Tiebreaker/End-of-month Face-off

If the top two clans are within 1 points of each other, they will have to battle it out.

The clan in the lead will decide the server ONLY. Rest of the details can be negotiated or base rules will apply.

 

Some relevant changes

Other clans who weren't involved in a clan wars prep can dispute regardless - since it affects their standings +/-. We will not act or intervene until a clan decides to dispute. We expect strong evidence on any dispute.

Default minimum for preps has been increased to 25v25.

If a prep opt count is set to or below 50% of the smaller clans ML, clans are expected to pull the correct amount assuming the opt count was decided. If a clan fails to pull that and win they get -0.10 less points. But if they loose, the opposing clan gets an extra +0.10. If both clans fail to pull the amount before the agreed time, this rule is nulled, whether one clan's pull picks up or not. Everyone expects ranks to put effort in to pull.

not sure if i like it or not. Means clans who dont do cwa at all make a chance to get a cwa related sig? 

 

Weird.

If you read the points given, you'd see that activity vs. pures are the only true way of competing in this.

Basically, this system encourages you to compete in all areas.
