We currently have 10 Clan Cup Squads and the following explanation assumes that 10 Squads will compete. If any new Squads register, the process will be amended accordingly.
Matches
10 Squads means that 6 Squads will get a bye to Round 2 and the remaining 4 will play Round 1. All Squads will have equal chance of getting a bye, so the first 6 Clans drawn will be those with a bye in Round 1. Due to Clan Protection, at least one Harmony Squad must get a bye (otherwise there would be a Harmony V Harmony Match in Round 1 which is not permitted). In the event that no Harmony Squad gets a bye in the first 5 drawn out, the remaining bye will be drawn just from the Harmony Squads.
The remaining 4 Squads will then make up the 6 Matches in Round 1. Due to Clan protection, Squads from the same Clan cannot meet in Round 1. There can be a maximum of 2 Squads from the same Clan, in that circumstance, the Clan with 2 Squads is listed and their opponents are then drawn.

Players will be organised in a list from 1-7 as described below.
