With December now a mere week away, Club Penguin Armies are thrilled to announce the most festive tournament of the year, the Christmas Chaos XII. Find out which armies are taking part, and who they will face in the first round.

Information & Rules

Marking the official start to the End of Year celebrations, Christmas Chaos XII is set to begin next week, on December 3rd. This year will mark the 12th edition of the tournament, in which it will consist of 7 armies from the community, running across 3 weeks. The Grand Final is set to commence on Saturday 17th December, just one week before the big day itself. The full schedule for the tournament is as follows:

Round One: December 3rd & 4th

Semi-Finals: December 10th & 11th

Grand Finals: December 17th

The following rules have been put together, they are based on previous tournament policies, in addition to recent discussions with the Army League Board and the Head Judges. Please note, breaking one of these rules will most likely end in a disqualification, in which the remaining armies will then be contacted regarding changes to the schedule.

• Reviews will be allowed for any battle and will be untaken by unaffiliated (to the battle) Head Judges.
• Unlike Legends Cup, there have been deadlines set in regards to the review process.
  • Leaders cannot request a review after 3 hours from the long results being posted, and they cannot submit evidence more than 21 hours after requesting a review (Videos should be submitted ASAP).
  • Head Judges must inform both armies about the review, and if it is going ahead ASAP.
  • The Deadline for the Head Judges to review the battle will be 24 hours after the evidence deadline.
• Dual enlistment is not allowed, and individuals may only attend for one army. They must stick with that army for the duration of the tournament, even after an army is eliminated. The dual enlistment deadline for those in other armies already is November 21st.
• The judging will be undertaken by CP Army Judges and organised by the Head Judges.
• All armies have a right to veto two judges per battle. Once an army has vetoed two judges, it cannot decline any more for that battle. Vetos cannot occur past the four-hour mark.
• Judges will be announced well in advance (typically very soon after the week’s schedule is announced).
