Team competitions

Every skill or boss competition has a Format. Solo is the default and works as it always did. Pick Teams to split your clan into sides, or Clan vs clan to race other clans on the same skill or boss.

Step 1

Set up teams

#

Teams split your own clan into sides. It takes about a minute:

  1. Schedule a competition as usual. Set Format to Teams.
  2. Type your team names. Everyone entered is split evenly by their current level or kill count, so the sides start fair.
  3. Leave Late joiners go into the smallest team on if people may arrive after the start. Turn it off to keep teams fixed.
  4. To change anything later, open the competition and choose Teams in its admin sidebar. There you can:
Rename and recolourgive each team a name and a colour players will recognise.
Add and delete teamsstart with two and add a third, or remove one you no longer need.
Move a playersend someone to another team. Handy for friends who want to play together.
Auto-balancepress Auto-balance by current level/KC to re-split everyone evenly.
Late joinersswitch the late-joiner option on or off. With it on, new players join the smallest team.

A repeating competition carries its teams over to the next week and balances them again.

No team, no problem

A player with no team still counts on the individual board. They just don’t add to any team total.

Step 2

Set up clan vs clan

#

Clan vs clan lets other clans join your competition, as many as you like. You are the host, and the other clans are partners.

The partner clan can follow the standings on its own site at /c/<slug>/weekly/<id>. It is read-only. Only the host edits the competition.

To drop a clan, remove it on the Clans page. Its players come off the board.

A repeating competition sends fresh invites every week, so each clan has to say yes again.

Getting unwanted invites? Choose Decline & block this clan on the invite. That clan’s later invites are turned away quietly, and you can unblock it in Settings → Blocked clans.

  1. As an admin or higher in the host clan, set Format to Clan vs clan.
  2. Invite the other clans by their address. Do it on the create form, or later on the competition’s Clans page.
  3. The invited clan’s owner or admin accepts or declines on their People page or Events list. A moderator can’t. Nobody from that clan is entered until it accepts.
  4. When it accepts, it chooses who races: All members of its roster, or Selected people it picks. It can change this later from the same card.
Share the address

A clan’s address is the short name in its web address. Ask the other clan’s admin for it before you invite them.

Step 3

How it scores

#

A team or clan total is the sum of its members’ gains. Gains are counted the same way as on the individual board.

Next to each total you also see an average per player, so a team of 8 and a team of 12 can still be compared.

If two totals tie, the one that reached it first ranks higher.

Step 4

What players see

#

The competition page shows the team or clan standings first. Open any of them to see its players. Your own team or clan is highlighted.

Discord posts at the start, halfway and end show the standings. In clan vs clan they go to every clan’s channel, and yours is marked ← you.

In the plugin side panel, you can see where your team places.

There is nothing to sign up for. If your clan enters all members and you are on the roster, you are in. If it picks people, you are in once picked.

Don’t want to take part? Press Opt out next to You’re in, on the competition page, the Events list or in the plugin. You come off the board for that one competition, and you can opt back in while it runs.

Step 5

Questions

#

The ones clan staff and players ask most:

Our teams are different sizes. Is that unfair?Not by itself. Totals decide the ranking, but each team also shows an average per player, so you can see how a smaller team is really doing.
What about people who join late?With the late-joiner switch on, they join the smallest team. With it off, they count only on the individual board. You can always move them by hand on the Teams page.
Can the other clan edit our competition?No. Partner clans see the standings read-only. Only the host clan can change the competition.
Can I sit one competition out?Yes. Press Opt out on the competition page, the Events list or in the plugin. Only that competition is affected, and you can opt back in while it is running.
How many clans can race?As many as you invite, up to 50 in one competition. Each clan sees its own side marked in the standings and in its Discord posts.
Another clan keeps inviting us. Can we stop it?Yes. An owner or admin chooses Decline & block this clan on the invite. Its later invites are turned away without telling them. Unblock it any time in Settings → Blocked clans.
If we agree once, are we signed up every week?No. A repeating competition sends new invites each week, and an owner or admin has to accept each one.

Skill and Boss of the Week basics are in Skill and Boss of the Week. Want clans to race on bingo boards instead? See Hosting a visiting clan.
