MLCW Rules & Regulations - Season 5
Introduction
Miner League Clan Wars (or MLCW) is an organized, friendly war competition hosting clans from
all over the globe of varying sizes, skill levels and time zones. Clans accepted into the MLCW will
be assigned a schedule of opponents separated by leagues and will compete in one match per
week during the regular season. At the end of the regular season, the highest ranked clans will
participate in a playoff to determine a season champion.
In order to help maintain order, ensure fair play, and promote good sportsmanship, the MLCW
administrators have developed these rules and regulations to apply to all MLCW Season 5
participants. A majority of the rules from Season 4 have carried over to Season 5 meaning most
clans should already have a good handle on expectations pertaining to matching and general
league methodology. That being said, we do have some noteworthy changes - namely a more
tangible system of penalties for those players or clans which seek to exploit loopholes to gain
an advantage in matching or whose history is marred by allegations of actions construed as non-
fair play. Our hope is that this will serve to fortify a more level playing field for all of our Season 5
participants and will allow everyone to have a more enjoyable playing experience as a result.
It is the responsibility of each clan's selected representatives to inform their respective clans of
these rules and regulations.
Admins reserve the right to interpret all posted rules as required to settle disputes and will
ultimately make decisions based on the spirit of stated rules when the issue-at-hand is not
explicitly addressed herein, and to enforce them accordingly.
All participants are encouraged to reach out to their friendly league Admins with any questions
concerning these listed rules and regulations pertaining (but not limited) to roster compliance,
matching rules, determination of standings, and penalties for violations. A comprehensive list of
Admins can be found in Appendix A of this document.
For more information on how to become a participating clan in the MLCW and much, much more,
please visit our website at http://www.mlcw.org/.
We wish the best of luck to all Season 5 participants and we look forward to another exciting and
successful season!

4. Admins reserve the right to penalize behavior or actions by a clan or its members if said
activity is determined to be in contrast with the concept and/or the spirit of fair play even
if no specific rules directly apply.
5. It is the responsibility of all clan reps to be vigilant in ensuring all master roster members
and player subs fit the requirements of fair play eligibility for any given match.

2. For the purpose of MLCW league play, the term "regular member" is defined as anyone
who spends 60% or more of their clash time in their respective clan which will be
measured from the time the player-in-question was officially submitted to MLCW (via
master roster lock or change submission) to the time of each war match.
3. Once accepted, the admin team will maintain a live master roster for each clan.
4. If it is discovered that a clan has included a player or players that do not fall under the
definition of regular member on their master roster, those players will be removed from
the roster and the clan in violation will potentially face a penalty up to and including
forfeiture of matches where player(s) were used. In addition, said player(s) can only be
reinstated as a master roster member via an official master roster change (See Section 2
below).
5. For the purposes of transparency and verification, all participating clan members must
maintain a public profile on clashofstats.com - if the admin team cannot verify a players
history, that player wont be eligible for master roster consideration.

that the offending clan was properly notified. Once complete, the player found to be in
violation and their mirror will then effectively have one or both of their attack(s) effectively
blocked.
3. In the event that a player stages one or more of their attack(s) after which point they have
been effectively blocked as a result of enacting rule 2 above, any and all stars or
percentage gained by any player on said base will become null and void.
4. If proof of violation is not raised prior to the player-in-question logging one or both
attacks, those attack(s) already staged will not be affected in any way.

b. If clan withdraws or is removed from the competition during a match, that match
will also require makeup and will not simply be accepted as a forfeit..
c. Both incoming clan and makeup opponent(s) will be equally responsible for
scheduling, arrangement and completion of required match(es) (typical process
rules and regulations will apply).
2. Starting from the beginning of week 4 of the regular season, any clan that withdraws or is
removed from the competition will have the totality of their completed match statistics and
results erased from official MLCW records for the season. Any clans scheduled to face
the clan in question for week 4 or beyond will receive a bye for that week.
3. If a clan withdraws or is removed in the last 3 weeks of the regular season, Admins will
make a ruling as to whether the remaining matches will be considered forfeited or
rendered null and void based on schedule and standings.
Part 7: Communications
MLCW uses Discord as its primary communication tool. The following rules of conduct and
engagement will apply to the official MLCW Discord server and its channels.
Section 2: Mediation
