    No advantage, I will register the rest today. I was just being lazy with it because we have so much time ahead of us.

    I signed up the other three members of our team, and made a thread in the Clan forum with some details about our clan: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/signing-up-with-the-cult.63250/

    I think a ton of guys from The Realm should quit and make their own clans. It will be better for all of us in the long run -- more match-ups, longer tournament, etc. It is pathetic that we only have half a dozen clans. Ultimately, clans should be promoted from within the PA main menu and throughout the game, but until Uber wises up and does this, we'll have to take matters into our hands. Someone needs to explain to people the concept of synergy. We are by no means the best players, but we win near-constantly because we only play 3v3 and 4v4s against people who can't even speak to each other. We've been playing for three weeks now, and we've never once faced a real team! I am sure the tournament will be a wake-up call for us, and I can't wait to see how well the other teams perform against us and against each other.

    The realm is to close with most of us to leave our community. Even if we left RLM it would to form a powerhouse brother clan

    I don't think the older players should leave. You know each other, I assume you work well with each other, so there's no need to break that up. But all the new guys you are drawing in, that's who should leave. Just like I made my own clan, some of them should also make their own. What's the point in joining a huge clan that will never let you represent them on a tournament because they'll prefer to use more experienced players instead? It would be nice to see a little more ambition from all these guys. You could help that by closing down your recruitment drive for a while. Tell people they can't join anymore, and to make their own damn clans :)

    We're not a clan. Yes we seem like it but 80% of PA players for RLM play 1 or more other games in the community.

    Then don't register for this tournament as a clan, because you don't have one. Join a clan or make one.

    I've very deliberately NOT been pushing recruitment actively for... probably the best part of a year now to help the clan scene diversify a bit. We do have a vetting process too.

    people dont necessarily join a clan to compete in the tournaments. I simply joined so that i had the option of coordinated games, as this game clearly requires it and my gaming mates have had kids or moved on to pastures new. I joined Realm as being the biggest it is the most likely method of getting a game, i can just drop in and normally get a game - the shear size of it is one of its main advantages, even if it does lead to oddities such as here. although it would be interesting to know how many members are active.

    that said, as you say there's no reason why there cant be a sub-clan or two created for this very purpose, but thats really for the 'older' realm members to sort i'd say - in a constructive manner not simply banning newer members. Its the first clan war, lets see how it goes before bemoaning the number of teams.

    Currently with 6 clans signed up that means 30 matches spread across 15 dates.

    Mission unsuccessful?

    Yeah, I totally understand what bunny is saying. That's also the main reason I want to increase the size of my clan: so I can find people to play with whenever I want.

    RLM diversifying into several clans (or subclans) sounds like a great idea to me, as long as they stick to it. I.e. as long as members do not move around between clans after they have committed to one. It will even increase their chances of landing the first spot (and the second, and the third) in tournaments, much like having, say, a bunch of Americans compete against each other in individual sports in the Olympics increases the chances of the gold winner being from the US. I think this would be a win all around solution.

    At the end of the day I just want more teams to play against (which also increases the chances that we don't come last, lol).
