JN CLASH SERIES — SEASON 1

1.1 In-Game Match & Friendly War Configuration

Every match within the JN Clash Series must utilize the exact parameters defined below. Failure to host friendly wars under these conditions will result in immediate match review and applicable deductions:

1.2 Bracket Format & Clan Status

• The tournament consists of a 64-team double-elimination bracket (comprising a Winners and Losers Bracket) concluding in a Grand Finals stage, with bracket resets if required.
• All participating clans must keep their in-game War Log set to Public at all times to allow the tournament's League Utils tracker to automatically extract data.
• Clans must be set to ‘Invite Only’ with minimal trophy requirements to allow JNC officials and official streamers entry.

1.3 Tournament Calendar & Official Alignment

The full tournament calendar, highlighting match windows and brackets, is posted publicly inside the official JNC Discord server. Representatives are required to review the calendar to confirm availability. JNC administration makes every reasonable effort to schedule matches so they do not conflict with official Supercell CoC esports stages.

2.1 Core Team Roster Limits

Each team's official master roster must contain exactly 5 starting accounts and up to 2 optional substitutes (maximum of 7 player accounts total on the Master Roster). If a team registers without substitutes and a player becomes unavailable or banned, they must compete with their remaining accounts.

2.2 League Utils Signup Process

All registration, roster locks, and statistics are automated via the League Utils Bot (guide at leagueutils.com/manual):

1. Open a sign-up ticket in the server and run /app open with the official tournament code (provided in Discord).
2. Input clan tags and exact player tags for the 5 starters and up to 2 substitutes.
3. Check details and complete registration via /app complete.

2.3 Roster Changes & Lock Dates

Teams are allowed up to 5 total roster adjustments prior to the lock date via League Utils. After roster lock is in effect, no swaps, additions, or changes can be made. Furthermore, once a friendly war has officially started, no roster changes or swaps can be made for that specific matchup.

2.4 Strict Account Sharing & Piloting Ban

3.1 Private Coordination Tickets

Upon round launch, League Utils automatically generates private coordination ticket channels for each match. All negotiations, dispute claims, and scheduling details must be logged exclusively in these tickets in English to ensure clear monitoring by JNC Administration.

3.2 48-Hour Coordination Window & Deadlines

• Representatives must initiate coordination within 48 hours of the round's release.
• If a team representative fails to participate or reply within this window, JNC Administrators will intervene and schedule the war at a time that works best for the active team.
• If both representatives fail to coordinate within the 48-hour window, the match will be declared a double-forfeit (0–0).

3.3 Match Confirmation & Reschedules

Once both teams agree on a time, submit it directly to League Utils to log it in UTC. Rescheduling is permitted only if both teams agree and notify the JNC Admin team via match ticket at least 24 hours prior to the original scheduled start.

4.1 Sending & Accepting War Challenges

The League Utils Bot designates Team A (left) and Team B (right). Team A is responsible for sending the in-game Friendly War challenge (5v5, Esports Mode, 1-hit-per-player, 5m prep, 45m battle) to Team B's registered war clan. If Team A cannot send, Team B must do so. The challenge must be sent and accepted within 10 minutes of the scheduled match time.

4.3 Mid-War Clan Disconnection Rules

Players are strictly forbidden from leaving their war clan during preparation or battle phases. If a player leaves the clan before completing their hit, their attack is immediately declared forfeited (0 stars, 0% destruction). JNC is not responsible for individual game client disconnects or device crashes — in-game war records stand.

To facilitate high-quality live broadcasting and tournament synchronization, timed attacks are strictly compulsory for all matches across all stages of JNC. Attacks must be launched according to the official in-game war clock (War Time Remaining). A buffer of ±30 seconds on either side of each listed start time is allowed.

6.1 Clan Occupancy Limits & Spectators

• Clan Cap: Only the 7 registered roster accounts (5 starting + 2 substitutes) and up to 2 administrative accounts (clan leaders or reps) are permitted inside the clan during a match. This excludes official, JNC-approved live streamers.
• Occupancy Violation: Any unauthorized accounts present in the clan during an active war results in an immediate 1-star deduction per unauthorized account. Submit clan list screenshots in match ticket to report.

6.2 Official Live Streaming Protocols

Official JNC wars will be broadcast live exclusively on the Team JN YouTube Channel. Approved streamers must be granted entry to both clans at least 10 minutes prior to scheduled war time.

• Denying Streamer Entry: Refusing entry to or kicking an approved streamer results in an automatic 1-star deduction on first offence; subsequent violations lead to season disqualification.
• Unapproved Streamers: No team may allow unapproved players to stream their match from within the clan (1st offence: 1-star deduction, 2nd offence: DQ).
• Strict 4x Speed Ban: Use of in-game 4x speed multiplier during active, live-streamed matches is strictly prohibited — warning on 1st offence, 1-star deduction for subsequent infractions. (4x speed is allowed only in unstreamed wars.)

7.1 Standard War Scoring

The winner of a match is determined by applying the following criteria, in order of priority:

7.2 Sudden-Death Tiebreaker Wars

If both teams are perfectly tied on Stars, Destruction %, and Average Attack Duration, a sudden-death Tiebreaker War must be played:

• Settings: 5v5 Friendly War, 5-minute preparation period, 15-minute battle period.
• No Compulsory Times: Timed attack windows do not apply during tiebreaker wars.
• Timing: Must be scheduled and completed within 24 hours. If a tiebreaker is tied, it repeats until a clear winner is established.

• Payment Methods: Standard global prizes are processed exclusively via PayPal. Special localized integrations are supported: UPI transfers for Indian teams and local bank transfers / eSewa / Khalti for Nepalese teams.
• Payout Window: Prize claims will be processed and disbursed within 60 days of the Grand Finals. Winning team leaders must submit accurate credentials to JNC Admins within 7 days of completion.
• Any local transaction fees or conversion charges are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

All tournament communication, registration, scheduling, and official records are housed in the official Team JN Discord Server. Ensure your representatives track these channels daily:

To preserve a competitive, respectful, and professional esports atmosphere, JNC enforces a zero-tolerance policy against toxicity, collusion, and cheating. All communications inside coordination tickets are strictly private; publishing ticket screenshots without written Admin consent is a sanctionable offence. All claims must be submitted within 4 hours of war completion with screenshot evidence.
