IV. Glossary:

-Team Tabulation: When the tournie is concluded (all matches played) scores will be counted and added up to make a score for each team. The team with the most points will be declared the winner. In the event of a Team Tie both scores will be erased and each team will select a champion to represent them. The Champions will play an additional Gauntlet and their scores will determine the outcome.

-Grand Champion Declaration: At the end of the tournie the single person with the highest score will be declared the Tournament Grand Champion. In the event of a tie the above proceedures mentioned in Team Tabulation will be observed. Note: It is entirely possible for the Tournament Grand Champion to not be a member of the tournie winning team.

-Open Ended: The tournament will begin on a specific date, but does not have a specific end date. It will conclude when all matches are completed.

TBA: Acronym for To Be Announced.

V. Additional Information:
A.Conflicts or questions not covered in these rules will be handled by a meeting of both Clan Leaders. If the Clan Leaders cannot come to an agreement then it is possible that the decision will be passed down to the tournament participants to vote on and resolve. In the event that this vote is a tie the Clan Leaders may elect a 3rd party to resolve the situation.
