....providing all requirements are met of course

yep, like the 2 month rule, which Owen obviously again has no consept of, and being captain, without prior knowledge or requirements of the league

I maybe new to this game only 6 months, but in that 6 months, i have lernt alot from Steph, Aaron, Dan, Rob's, Liam's and Jay, have asked many questions on how to run a clan properly, helped other clans in there hours of need, and so on, so if this (the 2 "clans") carries on then whats the point of having rules, no one abides by them!

I see, so the rule is you're not allowed to join a clan before your account is 2 months old let alone start one?

Because the clan league CANT dictate the clans that are independent of them

And the rules are at the discretion of the league runners, there've been very capable captains who were inexperienced (myself and stokie both had a very good first season as captains with no real experience previously - its fairly easy to pick up, just having the time to maintain the duties)

and the 2 month rule doesnt matter
(if they do manage to make it to next season) All there players will be eligible as the clan season is 5 weeks plus a week or 2 break is pretty much the 2 months

Only takes one player to be in a clan this season that can take over from owen for a season

No the fact of the matter is the he shouldn't be allowed to start 1 even if he wanted to, the rules t#are rules, we all have to follow them

Link me to the rule where it says to start a clan (dont have to play in league) you have to have already been in a clan league season

1.10 there we are

Rule 1.10

Forming a new clan

New clans are permitted entry into the league only between seasons, at the discretion of the league hosts. A player wishing to form their own clan must have experience of playing in a clan for a minimum of one season.

Technically they have the right to establish their own clan, just can't join the clan league yet

Then what is the point to having a clan

You think I would be able to find myself a different clan judging by my stats? One that plays in the league without this much contraversy?

and this clan isnt even going to play in the league

CAP it

BAN THEM ALL

jeeeez who cares, let people breath for crying out loud

im captain of shooters not by choice but elected im honoured to have been chosen ,,, please lets these people feel they belong to somthing

hey owen might not keep it going ... but he might give these guys support who cares if they fail at least there trying

very trying a times but heyy hooo

all new clans deserve support you never no they might even make the league more competitive

some clan teams have players who shudnt be in them with bad attitudes let these guys have ago they might survive or not, they might bring fun back into the league in time

Cphaynes how about you let Owen captain his own clan, and you can captain the snipers.

He can wait till his 2 month rule is over and let someone else take captaincy so it gets accepted into the league.

You don't have to be so strict, this is an 8 year old kid we are talking about.

P.S. Well said doubted.

well said. well i am making a clan... oh sorry (group) and we are going to stick around and make it a strong one. i understand why people are being strict about it and i appreciate that. but if people want to make a group let them. matchstick men bs funkyplayes whenever your ready mate.

I had to wait, so should everyone else, its simple just follow the rules, 1.10 in the rules on clan league, you cant creat a clan if you havent been in a clan before, or 2month rule, so both of the new clans should, be closed.

sorry mate we are not a clan we are a group of people called matchstick men. till our 2 month thing has passed then we are a clan, and then can join the league. why do you want to close our clan down? are u threatened?

If my clan can cope with Funky ledgends then they can cope with you, if your not a clan, then you shouldnt post in the clan section on the forum

then stick to your clan and stop trying to take down other ones. and i wrote on the forum cause i thought i could make a clan, but i didnt know the rules so my mistake. the bottom line is i have a group called matchstick men and this group is called funkyplayes. you are not a mod or admin so let them worry about it. and you worry about your clan and this season. and you will see us next season good luck.

Ok cyphane. When you played funky legends you coped by an utter fluke. Every player and clan was afraid of the funky legends if we could have played we would have but some of the players had a little trouble but your clam stood no chance what so ever because it's not a very strong clan of players so you can't say that if my clan can cope with funky legends coz that was a false statement. Also I think your just trying to shut new clans down because you hope to get through the first round with your clan.
