[Clan Wars] Global Map First Season Announcement [UPDATED]

Tank Commanders!
 
World of Tanks team is proud to announce the availability of Seasons on the Global Map. This feature will allow clans to fight on the Global Map with a new purpose.

Seasons on the Global Map

The Seasons model represents time periods in which clans will fight on special fronts with customised settings. Seasonal fronts will operate for a limited time; at the end of each season the winners will be determined in each of the allowed formats - VI, VIII, and X vehicle Tiers.

Seasons differ from the usual gameplay on the Global map in several ways:

• Flexible Global Map configuration allows the setting of Season parameters depending on the need - tank tiers, fronts size, conditions of territory seizure or their profitability.
• Now confrontation on the Global map will not be infinite and will have appropriate purpose. Boundary timings of each season will help to determine real winners and award them with special season awards.
• At the end of each season fronts will be wiped and players will be able to participate in events or campaigns with great prizes on the Global map. Thus, the season will be a period of time when clans will be able to prepare for battles for big prizes and achievements.
• Unlike gaming events or campaigns passing through a rigorous scenario, clans will have more freedom during seasons and each clan can choose the intensity of their actions itself.
• Throughout a season clans could improve their achievements in special ranking, similar to Alley of Fame during events or campaigns. The results of each season will be stored on special pages and data will be available for viewing at any time.

The first season will start on October 16 2015 with the Tier VI season front opening along with the Operation Safari event, and will last until the start of Campaign 4. Tier VIII and X fronts will be opened on GM on October 27 2015. During the first season, new mechanics and the general operation of the seasonal model on Global map will be tested. After the event ends tier VIII and X season fronts will be opened. At the end of the first season, the best clans will be awarded with unique medals, clan badges and first season participant emblems per each division.

First season terms may be slightly changed, which will be announced in advance. In case of simultaneous launch of Operation Safari and Tier VI season front, the terms of Tier VI seasonal front will be longer than VIII and X fronts. Tier VI, VIII and X season fronts closer will be done simultaneously at the end of the season.

It is time to identify the strongest!

For example, a clan who managed to get into range from 4th place and into 10% of best clans by season results, will be awarded with the "Season Elite" medal. And the clan who get into 10% - 50% range of the best clans will be awarded with the "Season Veteran" medal.

Penalties system

• In the First season on the Global Map a system of penalties will operate, which is introduced in order to secure active clans from possible battle absenteeism. The system operates automatically and reacts to the information at the end of each battle.
• If a Clan with a Division on a province enters a battle and the team consists of less than (5 players tier 6) (8 players tier 8) (12 players tier 10) , penalties will be applied to the Clan. [UPDATED]
• The system of penalties will be progressive - the more violations clan will have, the higher the penalties for such action.
• In case of the first three violations, the clan will be sent warnings messages about the violations. After three warnings the penalties system will be activated, which will be applied to the clan after each subsequent violation.
• The system is configured in such a way that selects punishment level on the basis of information about violations in the last 7 days.
• The list of penalties for battles rules violation (becomes effective after three warnings) are as follows:
  
  

  Amount of absences for the last 7 days	Penalties
  1	Warning notification to clan
  2	10% of Victory points fine a clan farmed 10% of clan Influence points fine
  3	10% of Victory points fine a clan farmed 20% of clan Influence points fine 50% of landing applications fine on season front
  4	10% of Victory points fine a clan farmed 30% of clan Influence points fine 100% of landing applications fine on season front

• Penalty system example:
• If a clan made its first offense 4 days ago and makes another one today, the system will evaluate the amount of violations in the past 7 days and will apply sanctions to the clan referred to in paragraph 2 on the table above.
• If both clans do not come to battle, the system will count both clans as absent.
