CB EC Groups & Rules

ClanBase have just recently announced the groups for this fall seasons EuroCup. As the qualifiers have successfully found the final participants, we have now the total of 16 teams for this EC's groupstage to start. Prizes remain yet to be announced, the teams that take part at this EC will anyway guarantee a hot battle, which will hopefully be more entertaining than last years dilemma.

Like always all the EuroCup matches will be prescheduled. This means you do not need to challenge your opponents. If a selected time is no good for you then there are 2 options available.

• Either you talk to your opponent about moving the match to another day in the same week(meaning from Monday to Sunday). You all know the dates well in advance so do this in time. There is a limit to moving the match which will be set to 48 hours before the time it is currently set to. If you choose this option both teams leaders or war arrangers have to notify the supervisor of this by mail or via IRC.
  
  
• The second method is to use your one wildcard. This means that you can postpone a game to a date later in the week or at the latest one matchweek after it. You only have one of these so use it wisely. You can use a wildcard up to the point of the normal starting time. Using the wildcard is simple. announce you will use it before the normal starting time of the match to one of the cup supervisors and to your opponent. Wildcards are only valid during the group stage.

About the allowed players: As I have posted before any players that have played a qualifier game aren't allowed to play the first match if they lost that game. Any players that won their qualifier game aren't allowed to play for another team during all of the group phase of the EuroCup.

Also all players not on the APL before the start of a match will be considered freelancers. A red card and forfeit loss will be given if they weren't allowed to be on the APL and a yellow card if they would have been allowed to play had they been on the APL.
Example: Fear Factory play Overload and use a player that was used by authentic in the qualifier. If this match is in the first matchweek this will result in a red card and a forfeit loss due to the rule about players losing the qualifiers match.
If however this happens in week 2 or 3 the punishment will be a yellow card only.
