Yoott: I received some clarification from WCG Canada that explains a bit better hopefully.

Only residents and citizens are allowed to compete for WCG Canada. In a team of 7 like its the case for WoT, more than 50% of the team HAS to be citizen of the country they are qualifying for. The others can be residents (no more than 3) or citizens.
In clear:
- 7 citizens
- 6 citizens and 1 resident
- 5 citizens and 2 residents
- 4 citizens and 3 residents
are all acceptable composition for a team. A team CAN`T have anyone that isn`t a resident/citizen.

Laera: Sorry the original post was a bit outdated. Please upload your video here: http://wotreplays.com/

Laera: Submissions are still open. Right now please post replays from 8.6. We will still consider earlier submissions from 8.4 and 8.5 if you had previously posted it in the thread.  
I've gone ahead and updated the FAQs. Sorry for the delay, the deadline for this contest is July 28th.
Best of luck to all!

dance210: If you are part of the NA server, and the time works for you, then yes. If you are part of the European server, then no. :)

Yoott: This isn't CW.... Tournaments are always 10 min prior ......seems we were on the ball..."uninformed player not reading the rules 2 step it seems?" .....
Also the Server issues that we had are global server issue so nothing  from our end here end contributed to the issues we had 2 days ago......

dance210: How is that cutting it close? Special battles always pops 10 min before the tournament begins, so seems like it started exactly on time...

Major_Rampage: Currently we are looking at what we can do for creative contests,  unfortunately the creative contest took somewhere between 8-10 hours to go through all of the entries and was not sustainable.  
But Laera has some good things planned for creative contest (some of them might have been my ideas).  She is going to be taking over creative contests,  while I handle the in game events,  such as Tank Companies,  Sheriffs,  Marathon, Missions, as well as the Weekend Specials and Giftshops

dance210: Skirmishes begin at 10:30 pm eastern...so 30 min from now. Special battles should pop in about 20 min :)

Captain_Judo: I see the confusion. There's no need for Rounds 4-6, so there's no need for Karelia.
The quarterfinals begin tomorrow, so we begin play on Arctic Region.

Hypnotik: For all those who have submitted their clans for the spotlights:
We've had a very large response so far, so thank you!
We will begin sending out replies today and tomorrow, so keep an eye on your inbox for the responses.

Captain_Judo: I understand gold is virtual. Unfortunately, we can't simply hand it out. It's easy to say no and just drop the whole thing. But if it's taking a "long time", then know that it's because we're lobbying for you.

Captain_Judo: You misunderstand, precambrian. My objection over the added work is that it draws attention away from the things the competitive community already needs: payouts, updated league standings, tournament programming, etc.. Not to mention that our team was taken by surprise just like you.
The issue last night was server wide and affected clan wars as well. It had nothing to do with our admin tools.

Hypnotik: This isn't necessarily correct. Several clans lost provinces when special battles appeared correctly for their opponents, but not themselves.

Hypnotik: Clan Wars Players,

We would like to apologize for the errors with the Clan Wars system that were experienced on July 22. We realize that this has affected many of you in a negative way and are working to prevent this from happening again.

The clans that owned the provinces that were lost last night may have been negatively affected, and will be given the one-day gold value of their provinces.

In addition, due to the mechanics of Stage IV that disallow clans that were knocked off the map from re-landing, we will be giving 50,000 gold to clans that may have been affected by the system issues.

Clans that lost provinces
_BAD_
ACES
ANVIL
CLAWS
CRABS
ELVIS
FORAY
GRFLD
HAV0K
HAVOK
-J-
KISS
NOVAC
RCON
RS
RUSS
SHDWC
SLOPE
TESLA
TYR

Clans that were removed from the map
KISS
SLOPE
ELVIS
RCON

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we appreciate your patience while we worked this issue out.

CatStalker: locked and moved.
fyi, we don't allow any sort of non-Wargaming advertising as per the forum rules.

Quemapueblos: The regular sandbox mode will unlock at 05:15 PDT (08:15 EDT) on July 30, 2013. While everyone takes a break from campaigns we are returning to the Sandbox mode. The rules are exactly the same as Clan Wars prior to the beginnings of Campaigns. Tank Locking, Rioting and Ransacking will all be in effect. No restrictions on tiers. So for a bit it is back to standard Clan Wars, everything we used to do before the campaigns.
If you have any questions regarding this mode please ask here!
Edit: The map will be wiped and province values will reset to what they were prior to the campaigns.

Captain_Judo: We jump in to make sure there are no repeated issues from yesterday  
You'll have to be patient while we assess yesterday's situation and how we'll handle it going forward. I assure you that nobody likes the added work this causes.
