Unfortunatelly, I have some bad news. We have assigned first red card in this cup. After some complains, we have investigated that Portugal has violated NationsCup rules by playing with six members from clan Excello. The rules allow maximum of 3 members from each clan clan. Therefor we have assigned a red card for Portugal. This means that the match between Danmark and Portugal has been forfeited automatically. I hope other nations take this as a warning, so this could be last incident.


After some discussion with other ClanBase Enemy Territory crew, I end up to forfeit this match for Danmark and assigning a red card for Portugal . I have heared Portugal's team captain.

Reasons for the forfeit and the red card are following:

- Portugal has used six clan members (completely team on war between Danmark and Portugal) from Excello : arci, Hugor, linear, DeathNear, Hunter, side. They were registered to clan Excello on August 31, when they applied to this cup - as we can see from Excello's clan log. On september, some of their members were transfered to [n]efastus. However, ClanBase NationsCup rules regards Excello still as an one clan, as they were on August 31.

- I talked with Portugal's team captain on IRC. He stated that some of members from Excello and [n]efastus had double IDs. However CB cannot know which ID they use primary. Eventhought, Double IDs are not allowed by ClanBase consitution rules.

When nations joined to this cup, they all agreed on the rules. Therefor, we feel, that it is fair to assign a red card, because Portugal had too huge advantage playing as an one team.

Second red card (or leaving this cup will result) will result kick and ban from this and the next season.
