Clan Champs coming and Clan point scoring issue.
We have about 10 more days before this clan championship scoring period ends. The top three clans are the same three they have been for the past two years, but this time something is different. The Circle of Nine is second, but since they no longer exist they can't play. It looks like the Scholars will return to defend their title, but the Brotherhood has more points.
I noticed in the clan rules something we have been doing wrong for the last year and a half. If a player leaves the clan they started a game with and then wins the game, we have been awarding clan points to the clan they were in when they entered the game. According to the clan rules, a player must remain with a clan for the duration of the game for the clan to get VPs. In essence, if you leave a clan before the game ends, no clan points are awarded. [See section III - A]
I thought I would point this out before I invoke the rule starting with the next clan scoring period. Do we want to enforce this rule, or change the rule to match what we have been doing?

Are you sure about that rule, Bjorn? I am under the thinking that the WSC addressed that a LOOONG time ago and that it was decided that your VPs went to the banner in which you had started playing the game.
Am I mistaken about this? Does anyone else remember the vote, or am I just showing the first signs of alzheimers?

Yeah it must be Cal- I don't remember ever voting on that issue, and it isn't in the WSC voting record. I think if a player is leaving a clan there must be reasons behind it- i.e., I don't know if TK happens to win any game he were in now he'd want the Scholars to get any VPs for it. That is the reasoning behind the rule I believe....as to whether we should enforce it or change it, I feel pretty ambigous on the matter as I can see both sides of the issue.

I can't imagine this rule being in place for a long time. As when i left the Scholars they reached the Clan Champs finals on the vps they got from me after i had left the clan...so i doubt this rule was ever used.
To me it's simple. The vps go to the clan you were part of when you joined the game.
