So, what happens when people leave your clan in clan wars?

Err, so our clan started a war when we had about 30 members, so naturally, the game began looking for another clan with 30 members.

Eventually, it found a clan, all is well, we were planing who to attack. Then, one of my (newer) clan members left, and then came a problem - are only 29 of us attacking? Which would then mean the other clan (which has 31 members) would have the advantage, causing a problem.

After several hours, a few more left (again, newer ones), leaving us with 26 members. Now this is a pretty big disadvantage for us, and if I could've switched between 30 members to 20 members, I would've. But I can't. Now the other clan has 6 more attacks then us, and for some reason, the members that left are still included in our clan war.


So my question - what happens when people leave your clan? Do they still participate as attackers and defenders in the clan war, or are they kicked out? If they were still participating, they would probably lose on purpose, causing us as a clan to lose. And if they are not participating, then we will almost automatically lose?

(I'm also banned on global for apparently stealing a clanless person on global, who was in fact one of the ones who left, so using global to recruit is not an option).


Thanks!
