Continuing the Twentieth Summer, we have another tournament. This time, we are going to look over the rules and matchups for the CPA20 Challengers Cup, a Small/Medium fast paced tournament.
Designed by MasterDS
Information
The CPA20 Challengers Cup is a single-elimination tournament. It starts with the Quarterfinals. The winning armies then proceed to the Semi-Finals, and the armies that win those battles reach the Grand Finals. The main differences from the usual single-elimination tournaments are that it includes only Small Medium armies and lasts around a week.
We see 8 Small Medium armies participating in the tournament. The tournament schedule is the following:
Quarter Finals: August 22 & 23
Semi-Finals: August 26
Grand Finals: August 29
Information about the following rounds will be published after the Quarter Finals battles have taken place.
Participants
The seedings were based on the 3 Top Tens of August and are the following:
- Shadow Legionnaires
- Fire Warriors
- Masked Bandits
- SnowWalkers of Club Penguin
- Fire Vikings
- Magicians of Club Penguin
- Star Force
- The Abyssal Tides
Rules
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 August 19, 11:59 pm ET. 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 do not count as an army. Check the Active Armies page to see what counts as an active army at the time of the announcement.
- 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.
- 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 at the administrators’ discretion, the army they are involved with may be disqualified.
- Armies must have at least 3 troops online in all 3 rooms. If they fail to do so in a room, the battle ends at the end of it, and the other army is declared the winner. If both armies fail to reach 3 troops online in a room, the army with the most troops wins.

Let the S/M clash begin! Once again we would like to thank MasterDS for her work in providing the beautiful graphics for this tournament. We would also like to extend our thanks to Club Penguin Army Battleground for providing a safe and stable CPPS for the battles to take place on. We would also like to thank our partners, the Club Penguin Army Judges, for helping ensure all these battles are judged appropriately.
Best of luck to all armies participating, and we wish you an entertaining Challengers Cup! Who do YOU think will move on to the next round?
