MCSG Regional World Cup [Postponed Until Further Notice]

Hello beautiful MCGamers! As you can tell from the title we are hosting an MCSG World Cup in order to celebrate the fact that all regions now have their own hub, plus the World Cup is also being held this year.

How it works:
Each region will have teams representing themselves in a battle to see which region is the best. Once we have all the teams we will have a live draw to see who will be versing who in each region. Both teams will play Minecraft Survival Games on a best 2 out of 3 basis. The winning team will move onto the next round and one step closer to the finals. Once we have the best team from each region, they will battle against each other and only one team will emerge victorious and be crowned the best team in MCGamer. Clan battles within regions will be help in their respective servers. We are still yet to confirm exactly how to finals will work, but we will do our best combat issues related to lag and connection.

The competition won't be held for at least another month as this will take extensive and careful planning to execute. Once the competition does commence it will most likely take a few weeks to complete. The 'group stage' matches will be spread over a week or 2 and the finals over a few days. Read all the messages in the thread as we will be giving updates through the thread.

Update! Please Read!
After some consideration, we've decided that the matches are going to begin in the 1st week of March. Please inform your team and get them ready. We will be releasing exact dates and times as that day rolls closer. You will be informed about your match, about 1 week prior to it's listed start time. Good luck to all of the participants, and may the best team win!

Prize:
The winning team will be contacted by our committee members receive 50USD (Equivalent to 5 iron donor ranks/optifine capes). These prizes are being sponsored by Kithex.

​

Rules:
All basic MCGamer rules apply and can be found here.​

1. Abide by MCSG rules. If any member in a clan is caught dis-obeying MCSG rules by moderators or players who have valid evidence then that clan will appropriately penalized. Results of past clan battles can be changed if evidence later proves a person guilty of an offence during a battle. The specific penalty depends on the corresponding rule which is broken.​

2. Clans participating in the battle must each specify at least three maps which they want to play on before choosing a server to join. All members from both clans must vote for one of these maps which have been specified by a clan. The clan which chooses the map will rotate from match to match. Who gets to choose the map for the first map will be the clan who was challenged to the battle. An alternative to this is to agree prior to the Clan battle to vote for the “Random Map”.

3. No player interference. If a player in the match asks to team with a clan the clan members must say ‘no’ and treat him as an ordinary player. Friends of clan members must also be treated as ordinary players. Accepting gear which is shared from players or teaming with other players who aren’t participating in the battle will result in a forfeit. Under no circumstances are extra clan members allowed to be in the same game as the people in the battle. If a member of a clan which is not supposed to be participating in the battle joins the server they must leave.

4. No spectators who have been participating in the clan battle. If the owners feel as though they can trust one another to spectate the matches then this is fine, however if one clan declines this option then the members must leave as soon as they are killed. If spectators are found giving away positions and details (this includes friends of clan members) a forfeit will be applied. If anyone is sponsored during the game by friends or clan members this could also result in a disqualification. The disqualification will occur of the item is to be used by any members of the clan. If five arrows are sponsored it is expected that they should be dropped.

5. Do not disrespect other clans or members. Not only is this against MCSG rules but it also advocates poor sportsmanship. Whether you win or lose, be respectful of all clan members and players in the game. If someone has a problem with another player then they should bring it up with the owner of their clan or the leader of the clan battle.

6. The number of members from each clan must be agreed on beforehand. A list of members in game names who are participating in the battle must be provided before the battle commences. These players may be switched between matches but must be specified before the next match commences (with confirmation from the other clan). Not notifying the other clan of a switch or player participating will result in a match forfeit. Only clan members are allowed to play in battles, if any other player is used then a disqualification will be applied.

7. Anything goes in game. Apart from disregarding any rules stated above; the battle will be played out as a normal MCSG match. This includes being killed off spawn, all is fair. If anyone exploits the diamond sword glitch his or her clan will be disqualified. As soon as ‘live game’ commences the battle has begun. If a member of the clan lags out during pregame then everyone must leave and the game is annulled. If members lag out after the game has commenced then the battle will continue. Once all members from one clan are eliminated then the opposing clan wins. Clan battle’s will be first to 3 unless the match is lost by forfeit.

8. If either team chooses to have a moderator or “referee” spectating the clan battle, any disagreements will be talked over with the moderator and the owners of each clan. Once both sides are heard the moderator will make the final decision, which will determine the final outcome.

9. The outcome of a clan battle must be posted on each clan’s page and contain the date the battle concluded and must be displayed for at least a week, or until asked otherwise.

Additional rules include:​

1. All players are to be present during a match or you will not be allowed to play that match and will result in a forfeit​
2. You may only represent one team​
