Following threads made in a topic entitled: Competitive play? http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,110856.0.html and several conversations with clan leaders and reading the "old beta councils" thread http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,90523.msg2336309.html#msg2336309. I PM'd a dozen clan leaders and asked them their thoughts and current rules. Half a dozen replied with some very good input! I also look around on some clan websites and found other rulesets there.
Using this information and commen sense I compiled these guidelines shown below.
Dont forget these are GUIDELINES and are subject to change and comprise between those arranging their own battle mode games!
This thread is for positive purposes and it would much be appreciated if only Clan leaders posted here. Positive critism only please. Keep to discussing the guidelines and remember this is to create positive clan vs clan battle guidelines we can all enjoy

1. Introduction
Battle Edition Clan Vs Clan rules are intended as "guidelines" to help clans agree on rules from an impartial source and aid in the expectations and protocol during the set up stages of matches.
These rules apply only to battle game mode. Clans may opt to use any, all or none of these guidelines during thier own clan vs clan games, scrims etc.
These rules revolve heavily around the numbers of players involved and are aimed to make all matches between clans last a similar amount of time. It is in no way exhaustive or fully comprehensive and is merley a set of "guidelines" for two or more parties to work from and even expand or modify if both parties agree.
2. Players
2.1 Number of players will be decided by each faction. Each faction is expected to have assigned substitutes in
the case of poor turnout. This number maybe decided by team or use the rule: 10% extra players assigned for the
purposes of sustitution. For example: if a team commits to a turn out 20 players it should have 2 assigned
substitues ready in time for the battle.
2.2 Number of players per faction will be equal.
3. Time
3.1 Time limit per round will be determined by:
Average number of Players per faction multipled by .5 min (minimum of 5.00 minutes)
For Example:
10 players per faction would be 10 multipled by .5 = 5.00 mins
12 players per faction would be 12 multipled by .5 = 6.00 mins
15 players per faction would be 15 multipled by .5 = 7.30 mins
18 players per faction would be 18 multipled by .5 = 9.00 mins
20 players per faction would be 20 multipled by .5 = 10.00 mins
32 players per faction would be 32 multipled by .5 = 16.00 mins
50 players per faction would be 50 multipled by .5 = 25.00 mins
3.2 Minutes may be added or subtracted if both factions agree.
4.Rounds
4.1 Total number of rounds will be determined by the number of players in a team. See Table 4a.
Table 4a.
10 players or less = 10 rounds
11 - 20 players = 8 rounds
21 - 32+ players = 6 rounds
5. Factions
5.1 Factions will be decided by the faction leaders for each round. Factions maybe different for every round or
the same throughout the match.
5.2 Teams in a faction will agree upon thier faction. See also section 7 Definitions.
5.3 Mercenarys will only be allowed upon the agreement of all teams in the match. Mercenarys do not constitute
teams.
6. Maps
6.1 Maps will be chosen by side A then side B and so on until all rounds have a map assigned to them. See also
definiations; "Side A" and "Side B".
6.2In the case of multiple teams in a faction they will also take it in turns to choose maps, for example: Side a1,
side B1, side A2, side B2, and so on.

Thank you to all those who I spoke to regarding these guidelines. Your ideas and experiences helped to shape these
lines to what they are now and I could not have compleated them to such a degree alone.
