KGS Clans

    Keywords: Online Go

Our rules unlike before are more clan based.

1) All clan games will be set to the same game-settings.

PStyle's Rules:

  • size=19x19
  • ruleset=Japanese
  • Handicap is optional
  • Time=20:00 + 5 x 30sec byo yomi (or)
  • Time=5:00 + 5 x 10sec byo yomi
  • All games must be free games

Must be played in the battlefield. Games need not be against another clan (you may post the game on the 'open games list').

2) In order to create a clan, the clan leader must email kgsclans@bucko.me.uk and request that his/her clan be added. Include kgs name, clan name, clan tag, & starting membership.

A clan leader should be responsible for updating his/her own clan's changes in the future.

No changes to any clan may be made within the 14 days prior to the tournament.

3) In order to be recognized as an active clan, the clan must play!

A clan must play at least 100 games in the battlefield in order to be eligible for the next clan brawl championship. This must be done every clan-period. After each clan-brawl tournament is held, a new victor assumes authority over kgs-clanlaw, and all clans restart their attempt to gain eligibility for the next tournament, which will be 3 months after.

Clan leaders must be responsible enough to keep track of their own clan's records. If this is not possible, then you should re-evaluate the workings of your clan. You can email bucko to use his game calculator for your clan: [ext] http://www.bucko.me.uk/clans/

4) The clan championship will be held on the 2nd saturday of each new clan period. Clan periods reset every 3 months.

  • Only the clans that proved themselves active will be allowed to contend.
  • Eligible clans may submit 1 team of 5 members to represent them.
  • The team must consist of clan members, although these members do not have to have played for their clan during the clan-period.
  • If a member of this team does not show, he will forfeit his game. The team may still play.
  • The tournament will be a knockout tournament based on rounds of clan-brawls.
  • If any 2 clans come to a draw in their brawl, then both clans advance to the next round.
  • Teams continue until a champion has emerged.

These settings are of course subject to change with the new clan period. I'd like to mention some more general clan rules I think might be good:

  • Members must have played at least n games to enter the brawl, so that there's a definate feeling that people in the brawl were also in the clan.
  • A minimum number of /pure/ games, to encourage people to play them.
  • Something to encourage people to continue to play games after the initial count has been met. It seems the random stats bit of my page helps, but I'd like to see more than just the top 10 people participate. :)

5) Only the clan champions may propose any changes to these rules.

  • If a rule is proposed by the champions, it must be approved by at least half of the leaders of other currently-active clans.
