here are preliminary rules for clan vs clan matchup games up for review...
if you have some input..now is the time to give it.
the word party referred throughout the document represents a clan or allied
clans formed for a matchup.
1. The matchup will be overseen by a moderator.
2. The 2 parties can decide and agree on the rules of engagement and
winning factor for the challenge matchup. The 2 parties also have the
option of having the moderator decide the rules of engagement and
winning factor within 1 week (Rule 8). This will be agreed beforehand
and communicated to the moderator prior to game start. All issues
concerning the rules of engagement will be addressed prior to game
start and not after. The 2 parties will also agree on a time and date
where the matchup will occur, as long as a moderator can be present at
the said time. It is your responsibility in asking any moderators as
for their availability to oversee a match and agree on a particular
time and date for both parties and the moderator.
3. The rules of engagement will have been explained to the moderator
prior to game start and all ambiguities regarding interpretations of
the rules will be discussed prior to game start. After the match
begins, the moderator will make all calls as per agreed rules, and the
decisions he makes during the matchup as well as the winner of the
matchup will be final and not open for interpretations or arguments.
The result will then be filed and the clan ladder updated. The ladder

4. A lower ranked clan can decline a challenge by a higher ranked
clan. This is as to avoid "record pumping" behavior. ie. A higher
ranked party keeps challenging on a weaker party to pump their own
win/loose ratio to inflate their own records and improving their
ranking in the ladder.
5. A higher ranked party can not decline a challenge by a lower ranked
party. This is done to guard against high ranked parties protecting
their records to avoid slipping down in the ladder.
6. The 2 same parties can only engage in challenge matchups for a
maximum of 3 times a month. In the case of allied parties, any member
of one party can not have engaged any member of the opposing party
more than 3 times a month.
7. Once a challenge have been issued, the challenger should post the
challenge in either the official NF forum, or any of the moderator's
forums to serve as a time record for the date of the challenge issued.
If you did not post in any of the mentioned forums regarding your
challenge, you will not be able to enforce Rule 8 if the opposing
party refuses to accept the challenge. It is also your duty to
communicate to the other party as for the event via email, IM, ingame
chat, forum postings, or whatever other means at your disposal.
8. The 2 parties will have 2 week to settle the challenge from the
date of the challenge post. If there has been no matchup by then, the
challenger wins the matchup unless a) The 2 parties agree on an
extension or b) The matchup violates one of previous rules.
In case the 2 parties can not reach an agreement regarding the rules
of engagement and winning factor within 1 week, the 2 parties can
agree on letting the moderators decide such factors. The decision will
then be final and the 2 parties will play according to the rules the
moderators have laid out prior to game start.
9. The ladder rankings will then be used to determine seed/starting
positions for future clan wars.
