Information & Rules
Around the World Cup II is set to commence next weekend with a Qualifier Round. The victorious armies will proceed to their respective groups and fight in the Group Stage the following week. As stated, the tournament starts in the Round Robin format. Therefore, one loss does not equal elimination. The Major and Small/Medium armies that secure the most points in their respective groups will be labeled as champions, as they move on to the Grand Finals. There will be both a Major army winner and a S/M army winner.
This time, we see 12 armies participating in the tournament, making it even more exciting. Thus, to put a cherry on top, the Qualifier Round will feature two three-way battles between some armies. The full schedule of the tournament is as follows:
Qualifiers: May 17th & May 18th
Group Stage: May 27th – June 1st
Grand Finals: June 7th
Information about the Group Stage round will be published after the Qualifiers. In case a tie-breaker match is needed, it will take place on June 7th, and the Grand Finals will be postponed to June 14th.
To ensure the tournament runs smoothly, we have established the following rules based on previous and recently updated tournament policies. Please make sure to read them carefully.
- Reviews will only be allowed for the Grand Finals and will be conducted by unaffiliated (to the battle) Head Judges.
- Just like in the previous tournaments, there have been deadlines set concerning the review process:
- Leaders cannot request a review more than three hours after the final results are posted. Additionally, they cannot submit evidence later than 21 hours after requesting a review (videos should be submitted as soon as possible).
- Head Judges must notify both armies about the review and whether it will proceed as soon as possible. The deadline for the Head Judges to complete the review is 24 hours after the evidence submission deadline.
- Dual enlistment is not allowed, and individuals may only represent one army for the duration of the tournament, even if their army is eliminated. Vets rejoining after this announcement must provide proof of their veteran status. Admins will coordinate with armies throughout the tournament to address concerns, including verifying enlistment prior to this time if necessary. Additionally, with the new Advisors rule that passed, stating that all armies must count them as ranks, Advisors will be held to this standard and can only attend for one army.
- The judging will be undertaken by Club Penguin Army Judges and organized by the Head Judges.
- Each army has the right to veto up to two judges per battle. Once an army has used both vetoes, it cannot issue any more for that battle. Vetoes must be made before the four-hour mark and cannot be used against Head Judges unless they are affiliated with an army. If no available judges remain after the vetoes, the Head Judges may appoint individuals, including those previously vetoed, to ensure the battle proceeds smoothly.
- Judges will be announced well in advance (typically shortly after the week’s schedule is announced).
- Each room will have three judges. If there are not enough judges, a Head Judge may count as two. The Grand Finals will have five judges.
- Anybody banned from CPA Battleground cannot participate in tournament battles (including but not limited to attending on alts, leading from Discord or other third-party websites, etc.). If found guilty of violating this rule by administrator’s discretion, the army they are involved with will be disqualified.
- To avoid color clashes in battles, the Head Judges have requested that armies wear differing colors for battles that may have a clash in color during the tournament.
- No costumes are allowed to be worn at any point during the tournament.
