Introducing: Clan War Tournaments!

[iDANglin]

Wars should be almost back to back just like tournaments in sports

If I change it to being more like that, the Tournament loot bonus will probably take a large cut :/

I dont think the time should be reduced. For people who fill clan castles in wars, back to back wars (in the tournament) would start to get VERY expensive... Keep it one war a week

This is an amazing idea. I can't say I haven't seen the same idea, but this is the best thread of all those others. Just a suggestion, a decoration (a trophy perhaps) for the top three clans (trophy cabinet/etc), just something to keep in mind. In one of my own threads (not advertising) I talked about the possibility of several clans in one clan war (2 vs 2, every clan for themself, etc), just another thing to keep in mind.The four weeks/ one month time period is a bit much. I only read the top, so you probably have this {Each war "season" up the loot gets better, loot is collectable after each season, winning clan gets a ton of loot.}

Hey all! So after participating in a couple dozen wars with my clan, Pacific Group, and doing my usual playing too much CoC and being on the forums, I've been wondering what the next feature addition should be that I haven't already seen suggested. Some amazing proposals have already been made, including Mastermind's ideas and others' ideas for daily/weekly/monthly quests and for a more personalized in game profile with more stats. I'd like to make another suggestion related to Clan Wars, Clan Wars Tournaments! The sound of this idea is not super impressive or imaginative at first I know, but I'd like to share what I've come up with. Hope you like it! The short concept of this idea is in red, details are in green.


Clan Wars: Tournaments!

-16 clans participate in a Single-elimination tournament.
-4 week long event. One war per week until eliminated.
-Week 1: 1st set of wars begins the moment all 16 clans are matched and put into the bracket.
-Week 2: 2nd set of wars begin between the 8 winning clans.
-Week 3: 3rd set of wars begin between the top 4.
-On week 4, the top 2 clans war for gold (1st place) and silver (2nd place). The other 2 clans who lost in week 3 also war for (bronze) and 4th (maybe next time!)
-Along with the usual loot bonus for each war win, the top 3 clans are awarded a tournament loot bonus according to their placing! The rest of the clans also receive a very small tournament loot just as you get from losing a war.
-Each war won in the tournament will be added to the clan's "Wars Won" stat. A new stat "Tournaments Won" could be added.


Clan Wars: Tournament Details:
-When a clan decides to partake in a Clan Wars Tournament, a co-leader or leader presses the war button just as if to start a regular war
.
-If the clan is not currently in a war, the co-leaders/leader will see the option to start a war and another button to start a tournament.
-If a clan is in a regular war, they cannot start a tournament until after the regular war has finished.
-The war map in a tournament is the same visually with the exception of an extra page that shows the tournament bracket. So when a player presses the War button, he/she can view the page of his/her clan's base map, the page of the enemy base map, and also the new third page of the war bracket.
-Once a clan is in a war tournament, each weekly tournament war's prep day will begin at the same time of the same day each week (ex: War tournament is matched on Tuesday at 6:00pm. All 4 wars will be on Tuesday at 6:00pm.)
-Clans may still take part in regular wars during a tournament. However, only one war may take place at a time.
-Clans cannot start a regular war during a weekly tournament war.
-Clans may start a regular war after their weekly tournament war has ended.
-Clans will no longer be able to start a regular war if the next tournament war begins within the next 48 hours.
-Maintenance breaks add time to when the next tournament war will begin to avoid war overlapping.
-When a clan loses a tournament war, that clan cannot start another tournament until after the current one has completely concluded. The button "Start A Tournament" will be replaced with "View Tournament" until the current tournament is done. The only exception is if your clan loses in the semi-finals as that clan still wars during the last week for 3rd or 4th place.

- BONUS LOOT: After each tournament war, clans will receive the normal bonus loot, win or lose. After the last week's wars have concluded, an additional bonus will be given as follows:
-1st place: 15% of the bonus loot received in all wars in the tournament
-2nd place: 10% of the bonus loot received in all wars in the tournament
-3rd place: 5% of the bonus loot received in all wars in the tournament
-4th-16th places: Small bonus x amount of wars won

- BONUS LOOT EXAMPLE: iDANglin's clan finishes their first clan tournament! In EACH war won, iDANglin earned 800,000 gold, 800,000 elixir, and 4,400 dark elixir in from war bonus loot. Here is how much of a tourney bonus iDANglin would receive depending on his clan's placement:
-1st place: 4 wins= 480,000 gold, 480,000 elixir, 2,640 dark elixir.
-2nd place: 3 wins= 240,000 gold, 240,000 elixir, 1,320 dark elixir.
-3rd place: 3 wins= 120,000 gold, 120,000 elixir, 660 dark elixir.
*Note: These bonuses would be given with the loot of the last war. For example if iDANglin's clan came in first, iDANglin would receive 1,280,000 gold, 1,280,000 elixir, and 7,040 dark elixir upon winning the last war.

Participation Regulations: Rules for participating in a Clan War Tournament are similar to regular wars. When viewing the clan roster, another symbol exists for tournaments next to the symbol for regular wars.
-The current symbol for a player's regular war eligibility is of two swords crossing in front of a shield. The symbol for tournaments will be a (insert your awesome symbol idea here and in your comment).
-Tourney symbol is non-existent if the player is an extra member at the bottom of the clan.
-Tourney symbol is grey with a red loading bar if the member has a regular war or tourney war in progress in another clan.
-Tourney symbol is a shiny bronze if the player's clan came in 3rd place in the last tourney and the member is eligible.
-Tourney symbol is a shiny silver if the player's clan came in 2nd in the last tourney and the member is eligible.
-Tourney symbol is a shiny gold if the player's clan came in 1st in the last tourney and the member is eligible.
-Tourney symbol's color stays until placing in the next tourney.
-During a Tournament war, both symbol's will disappear until that war is over. This means that a player cannot be participating in a regular war in one clan while participating in a tourney war in another clan.
-Only one war can take place at a given time by a player or a clan.
-Again, a player and clan can participate in regular wars between the weekly tourney wars. With 5 days between the end of one tourney war and the beginning of the next, a player/clan can squeeze in 2 regular wars between tourney wars!
-If a clan has been knocked out of a tourney, that clan and it's members cannot participate in another tourney until the current one has concluded. HOWEVER, the clan and its members can participate in regular wars, even during the times of the tourney's other wars. This means that clans can still war almost continuously regardless of tournament performance!


Known Issues With This Idea: (Need Ideas To Fix These Ideas!)
-To make the tournament fair, the matchmaking would have to be at least as tight of parameters in searching for potential clans to match with as in regular clan wars. This means that matching all 16 clans together would take much longer than regular Clan Wars on average
-Possible solutions:
-Have the option to search for a Tournament only available at certain times of the week so that clans are searching at the same times.


Your feedback would be appreciated! I'm looking forward to communicating with you forumers to help me improve this idea. Especially looking for help with creating pictures to help make this and my other idea threads easier on the eyes since I know there's a lot of text! Thank you for reading


Thanks for helping me improve my thread:

And everyone else who commented!

for a sec when i looked at the title i thought it would be a bad suggestion of this already suggested idea. then i clicked on it and realized it was that same thread and the good one too.

[Isaacium]

Another amazing idea, iDANglin. But how much war loot would the 4th to 16th place clans get?

Another amazing idea, iDANglin. But how much war loot would the 4th to 16th place clans get?

They would get the rewards they have already got from winning the previous wars (in the tournament)

[iDANglin]

the only problem i see is actually getting paired up with those other clans. It already takes hours to find a normal clan war. NOw you have to find 16 of them, that is my only complaint, but everything else sounds amazing.

I agree this might be the biggest issue with this feature :/ I don't think this issue would prevent this idea from being able to become a reality, but personally I don't know of possible solutions.. I'll have to think about that one a bit

I really like the idea, but what if as the war progresses you start losing members? Then what happens? I've seen it before when some clans clean up their clans to get rid of members who either really suck at attacking, or failed to attacked in war. Thats really my only issue, but everything else sounds good. Would be great if SC added this.

I agree, losing too many members can be the downfall of any clan in a single war, let alone a month long event. I suppose a clan just needs to be smart about starting a tournament and to not start one if there are fresh members or other members that are being considered to be kicked soon. This would be one more way that clans that get along and are more organized and active receive the advantage of keeping their members throughout an entire tournament. Note also that like in a single war, members participating in a tournament can leave and return later and still participate

Gee where do I start lol. First off, thanks for liking my idea! I didn't realize until after posting the OP that many have already suggested this idea, though I should have expected that.

As for your idea thread, I really like your idea too I'm extremely surprised it didn't catch any attention! Maybe because it was posted soonish after CW was introduced so maybe people didn't care about adding more features yet.

Lastly, I'm 100% with you on the decoration award! Only issue there is that I'm not sure if that is something SC would do :/ but it would rock! Especially if it was only given to players of clans who place in 1st

Now some of you may say "thats a lot of loot" well in a regular war i always make at least 650k gold and elixir along with at least 2k dark elixir, so loot wise its completely fine. My clan is constantly in a war once one ends we start searching again. In a week i usually make around 1.8 million gold and elixir and 6k dark elixir. Hence there is no problem with that much loot.

If you were wounding im a town hall 9 in the clan called Big Dogs, we have 43 wins!

[michaelhw14]

This idea is great! ive always wanted to post a thread about a Clan War tourney but im to lazy to make a huge thread lol. This is the best thread ive seen about how how clan war tournaments work. Although i feel their should be a option where you could either have a 8clan tournament that last 3weeks or 4week 16clan tournament. Either way i love the thread and hope Supercell can see this and hopefully get some good ideas based off this
