Information & Rules
Around the World Cup III is set to commence this upcoming weekend with a Qualifier Round. The victorious army will then proceed to Group B and fight in the Group Stage the following week. As usual, 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.
This time around, we see 9 armies participating in the tournament, making clashes competitive. The qualifier round is set to kick off this Sunday, May 24. The full schedule of the tournament is as follows:
Qualifiers: May 24th
Group Stage: May 26th – May 31st
Grand Finals: June 7th
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.
- Attendance policy: Individuals are allowed to attend for an army if:
- They enlisted in the army before May 23, 3 PM EST. It does not matter if they are also enlisted in another army. Advisors count as an active rank.
- They are not enlisted in any army. The Ice Warriors and other former armies that have not held events for four weeks or have shut down do not count as armies.
- They must stick with the same army throughout the tournament. If this army is eliminated, they cannot attend battles for any other.
- 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, as armies are choosing uniforms based on their selected Countries, this should be avoided.
- No costumes are allowed to be worn at any point during the tournament.
