Hey guys,

We have been working on a competition for clans to participate, run by us guys - Jagex.  Posted below is the latest draft that we have come up with after some feedback from the Clan Leaders and other J-Mods. This isn't going to be the draft that we run with and that is why it's here! We're looking for your feedback and constructive criticism on each of the Cups. Here's a quick introduction about the Cups.

• Your clan can enter as many of the cups that you think you have a good chance at winning. So this means that even the most battle hardened Pkers can try their hand at the Skilling Cup.
• You don't have to win all of the Cups to win the 'overall' cup, there is none.
• Everything listed below in the next post is just a proposal, this includes all of the rules, rewards and other features about the Cups.
• You may not agree with some of the decisions that has been made, F2P Clan Wars for example. What we have tried to do is ensure that as many people can participate as possible.
• Divisions within each cup, or new cups, for types of people like pures and splitting P2P/F2P are being thought about for any future cups. At the minute, these won't be happening.

I'm going to be getting all of the feedback before 11pm GMT on Thursday 26th Feburary. If you could try to get all of your ideas/opinions before then, that would be fantastic!






You do not have to take part in every cup unless you want to, there is no 'all or nothing' approach. You can join the Combat/Combined without having to take part in the Skilling Cup and vice-versa for all of the other combinations.

General

• Rule breakers. If you break any of the rules listed by the Cup, or arranged between the two clans, it will be reviewed by Jagex and a decision made based on the severity of the rule break.
• Referees. There will be a J-Mod at every war for the Combat and Combined Cups and we have our own methods of tracking the Skilling Cup.

Combat Cup

This will be a round robin affair with the opponents drawn from a hat live in-game.

• All clans wishing to participate should register in the registration thread within the next two weeks.
• Fight to be held in F2P safe Clan Wars
• There is no player cap
• There is no returning
• Time and date of fight should be decided between the clans before the deadline for that round
• When time and date of the bout has been decided, both clans must post a member list in the Combat Cup thread.
• J-Mods will be refereeing every match to ensure the rules are being upheld.
• No one can enter the arena who is not on that member list.
• Any disputes should be made in writing within 24 hours of the finish of the fight in the Jagex Cup Management thread.

Skilling Cup

There will be two 1 week skilling sessions. Each week will have a different skill for the clan to work on and will be chosen live in-game.

• All clans wishing to participate should register in the registration thread within the next two weeks.
• Each clan must submit a list of 10 names prior to the first skill being named in the Skilling Cup thread. We will give a time of when we will be announcing the skill to give you time to get your members listed.
• The skills may consist of Cooking, Woodcutting, Fletching, Fishing, Firemaking, Crafting, Smithing, Mining, Herblore, Thieving, Agility, Farming, Hunter, Construction or Runecrafting.
• In order to keep it purely skilling, you must not buy any resources from the Grand Exchange in the skilling period to be used towards the skill announced. Eg. You must not buy all the ingredients to make a Tuna & Sweetcorn potato if the skill is Cooking.
• Over the week, at least 8 of the registered 10 names must spend at least 5 hours on the selected skill in at least one hour blocks.
• During that session, the majority of XP gained must be in the selected skill.
• Before you start a skilling session, equip a chef’s hat (that will identify to us that you are starting a skilling session, this is essential).
• We will then take an average of all the time spent skilling and the XP gained to give each clan an average score per hour, the highest clan over both sessions wins.
• The week will run from 00:00 Monday to 23:59 Saturday in GMT.
• Any disputes should be made in writing within 24 hours of the results being posted in the Jagex Cup Management thread.

Combined Cup

This will be a round robin affair with the opponents drawn from a hat live in-game.

• All clans wishing to participate should register in the registration thread within the next two weeks.
• Fight to be held in the Stealing Creation minigame
• There is a cap of 20 players
• Time and date of the contest should be decided between the clans before the deadline for that round
• When time and date of the contest has been decided, both clans must post a list of 20 members that will attend the contest in the Combined Cup thread.
• No one can enter the minigame who is not on that member list.
• J-Mods will be refereeing every match to ensure the rules are being upheld.
• Any disputes should be made in writing within 24 hours of the finish of the fight in the Jagex Cup Management thread.

Rewards

This is still under discussion but what I have thought about is:

• A news post on the homepage detailing all of the winners of each Cup, congraulating them on winning.
• An article for each of the clans that wins each cup, linked to from the news post, detailing the clan's history and how they won the Cup that they did.
• In-game banners for the clans that won the Cup they won. (These would be given to the players who were in the winning clan at the time of winning the cup.)



Additional Information

Combat Cup:

• We are aware that the Forests map won't work so it won't be available to be used for a war.
• There are some specific rules for each war that some clans might want to agree on. Such things include having magic enabled and infinite run. We aren't sure to have a blanket rule for every war or just let each clan decide these rules, and stick by them, when arranging the war.

Combined Cup:

• Some people don't like the 20 player cap but it is mixed reactions. Some people would like less people and some people would like more, what do you think it should be?



I suggest we perhaps combine with our allies to achieve the maximum number of players. Im guessing other clans will do this too.

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
