For those were here few years ago should remember that massive tournament was started by Tupence and became abandoned after few weeks (see link below)
2012 Olympic Games [abandoned]
I did some tweak to it and I still have to complete half of the events structure, using a simple version of points counting, changing some map, inserting round limits, etc...
What I would like from you is telling me if your clan is willing to stick to a tournament like this for about 2 years? When it will be online, each clan should have at least 12 players lined-up and up to 16.
Being in a clan now and since few years battling on war against some of you I can tell there is several player here are playing for more than 2 years and it does seems than the same names are always there
...So if you guys are willing to stay a bit more longer let me know if a massive clan tourney will bring your interest even more.I will also work with CC admin on medal & prize when I get closer to have the whole structure of the tournament completed, 306 gold medal for the entire Olympics should bring more than a simple Tournament achievement medal to the clan who gained the most gold count
.Anyway, I think before the end of the year I should have it ready if not sooner, that is why and before going further it is time to seek potential participation from a clan view...You are the one making tournament running by playing and staying consistent with CC. The intent is to have 16 solid clans to participate.
I'm open to suggestions, comments....
Actual tournament structure:
This is a Large Team tournament, with a lot of games for everyone. 16 Clans teams with between 12 up to 16 players will be accepted.
Players MUST be premium.
The tournament will follow the program of each of the events of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

The winning team will be the team which has earned the most Gold Medals at the end of the Games. In the case of a tie, Silver Medals will be taken into account, then Bronze Medals.

Teams should nominate a Team Captain and a 2nd in Command. All communications between myself and the team will go through the Team Captain, and should the Team Captain be unavailable (e.g. on vacation) any communications will be sent to the 2nd in Command.
RESERVES
Spoiler
If a member of your team drops out or becomes freemium, it will be up to you to find a replacement, or share the games between the remaining players in your team. If the team drops below 8 members and you do not find a replacement player, the clan team will be eliminate.
Once a player drops out of the team and is replaced, the player cannot come back to the tournament. I will keep track of who has already played and dropped out of the tournament.
If a player drops out mid-event, their upcoming games in that event will be forfeited.

TEAM AND PLAYER SCORES
Spoiler
A record will be taken of all players’ scores when registration closes. These will be the scores used to seed players and teams (most events are seeded). As the tournament will be long, these scores may be updated at some point. However, this will not be done as a result of players’ requests; it will be done randomly to ensure impartiality.
ALLOCATION OF GAMES AND INVITATIONS
Spoiler
The tournament will be broken down into “Days”, which correspond to the format of the real Olympic Games. Before each “Day” begins, I will send a request form to all Team Captains, asking for names of players for each event.
For event such as Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling or Weightlifting, a player can only join one (1) of the “weight” category, this is to prevent a clan team to have only its strongest player participating in the whole event.
All teams must enter at least 1 player (or 1 team in a team event) for each event; the maximum entries will be outlined in the request form. It is not guaranteed that all of your nominated players will get to partake in the event; when an event is over-subscribed, only the highest ranked players will get to take part.
If an event is under-subscribed, teams who have sent in the fewest players will be asked to assign an extra player to the event.
All games will be sent out using the invite method. If a player does not join a game within 3 invitations (unless they have alerted me that they will be away beforehand) the player will forfeit their place in the event. If a player does not show up for a team game, the team will have 48 hours to find a replacement before the team forfeits the game.
