Declaring

All wars must be accepted or declined on the Tip.It War Rankings (TWR) (the board you are on now), but specifics can be discussed elsewhere. If a declaration acceptance is not posted, evidence of the TWR agreement must be shown; try to avoid this and accept on this board.
One topic per declaration.
If needed, TWR moderators will help settle disagreements over war rules.

1. Create a new thread.
2. In the title, indicate whether you are looking for a war or are specifically challenging a clan.
3. In the post, it is suggested you include the following information or use this format:
```
Your clan (name + initials):
Your clan's member-list (link + copy-pasted list):

Opposing clan (name + initials):
Opposing clan's member-list (link + copy-pasted list)


Your forum/contact details:

Specific declarations (capped/ particular time):  
```
4. If the challenge is accepted, go war--don't forget to take pictures of the outcome.
5. See below for information on results/aftermath topics.
If you do not receive a reply to your declaration by the opposing clan within five days, then contact a clan-moderator/community-leader.
Wars must be fought within 30 days of the declaration.
Moderators have the ability to impose their own rules if clans cannot agree. This ability is reserved for extreme cases, and the rules imposed will be the Tip.It House Rules:

House Rules

Mini-war: 20 vs 20
Clan-Wars Classic
Centrebounds (wall to wall)
Rings allowed
No blasts
Binds allowed
Range allowed
Only those who appear on a clan's member-list may participate:
Runehead locks 48 hours prior to the war
Clan with fewer people attacks first
Any breach of the agreed rules should be indicated to TWR staff who will decide whether to disqualify a clan (proof will be required).

Posting Results

All results are to be posted in the Wars and Run-ins forum.
The winning clan posts.
If needed, TWR moderators will help settle disagreements over war results.

In the post, it is suggested you include the following information or use this format:

Warring Rules

No picture, no proof.
Any clan can war any clan.
There may be no allies in a war.
Wars can be either P2P or F2P.
Clans may not declare on the same clan more than once a month in order to prevent point farming.
There may be no cap on armor or numbers with the exception of mini wars (definition of mini war in Structure section below).
Wars must take place in the Clan Wars Arena or in a PvP world. If an unsolvable dispute arises in the aftermath, both clans must rematch in the Clan Wars Arena or accept a nulled war.
Any other specifc rules (full out, matched ops, run-in option, different arenas, time limit, attack type, boundaries, stragglers, warring location, et cetera) must be agreed upon by both clans.
A member may only be listed on the memberlist of one clan participating in the TWR.
Clans that have warred in the past week may decline any declaration. However, if the week is over and the clan declines another declaration, the clan must have at least one of the following valid reasons or lose 100 points (with 50 points going to the clan that was declined):
- Leadership change
- Forums or website hacked/information loss
Though not limited to these, the following are not valid reasons to decline:
- Busy
- Bad relations
- Inability to settle on war rules
- Member lists uneven/overpowered
- Inability to settle on a time or date
- Warred in the past week outside of the TWR

Scoring

The combat average corresponds is based off each clan's RuneHead.
In the case of rounds, the average of each value of all the rounds will be used.
Points are awarded by the following formula:

Points awarded = 50 (default) + Opponents' F2P/P2P combat average + OWN starting number.

Structure

If a clan closes or leaves a list, that clan's points will reset.
A clan cannot go below 0 points, no matter how many points lost.
If needed, TWR moderators will help settle disagreements over war rules and results.
A multi-clanner is defined as someone who is on more than one memberlist of participating TWR clans. Clans will lose 100 points for every person that is on multiple TWR lists and participated in a TWR war.
If a clan is removed from the list, every clan below that rank will be moved up one rank.
If a clan wars--win or lose with the exception of rule-breaking--that clan receives 50 points.
If two or more clans have the same amount of points, the clan(s) with the most recent wars are first.
If a clan breaks the rules of a war, that clan will automatically forfeit the match and lose 25% of its current score.
If a clan has not replied to a declaration, contact the clan via PM, their IRC, or their forum. If no response is given, contact a TWR moderator.
Mini wars occur when both clans are limited to a certain cap on numbers. For example, 50 versus 50, 60 versus 50, X + 10 versus 50, et cetera.
Whenever a clan is awarded 50 default points for when a clan fails to honor a declaration (by either responding to it, or breaking the rules), it's marked on the TWR update log as a forfeit.
At the start of every month, each clan's score is reduced by 20% so incoming clans have a slightly better chance in becoming just as competitive.
At the start of every year, each clan's score is reduced by 70%, to mark the fresh start of a new year and give a clan a 'clean slate'.
Clans that have not warred the previous month will be removed from the corresponding list. Clans which joined that month are exempt. Activity checks occur the first day of each month.
