A clan owner can challenge another registered clan to a match. Open their clan page and press “Challenge this clan”, or use “Challenge a clan” on your own page. Pick the day, time, server and game mode, add a note if you like, and send it. Everyone in both clans is asked on the bell whether they can play, and the two rosters fill up on both clan pages as people accept.
Send a challenge
- Open the challenge form. On the other clan’s page, press “Challenge this clan”. On your own clan page, open “Challenge a clan” and pick the clan.
- Pick the day and time. Times are in UK time, in 15-minute steps. Players in other time zones see their own time too.
- Pick the server. Type a name or IP address to search. Both clans’ own servers are listed first, then every server seen in the last 30 days, busiest first.
- Pick the mode. CTF, Infiltration, Team Deathmatch, Elimination, Demolition or Deathmatch, or “Decide on the day”.
- Add a note if you want, up to 200 characters, such as the number of players or rules.
- Send it. You’re marked as playing, and everyone in both clans gets it on their bell.
What happens next
- The challenge shows on both clan pages, above the roster, with a countdown.
- Each side’s column fills with players who accepted, and shows how many haven’t answered or can’t make it.
- Players who join either clan later are asked too. Players who leave drop off the roster.
- Upcoming challenges are also listed on the clans page.
- An hour before, everyone who’s in gets a reminder. Join links appear within 3 hours of the start.
- Afterwards, it moves to “Past challenges” on both clan pages.
Cancel or turn down
- The owner who sent it can Cancel it.
- The other clan’s owner can Turn down challenge.
Either way, the players who’d said they were in, and both owners, are told.

Questions
Can I change a challenge after sending it?
Not yet. Cancel it and send a new one.
Is the result recorded?
If 2 or more members of each clan play a match against each other, it’s recorded as a clan war automatically. See How clans work.
Does the other clan have to accept?
There’s no clan-wide accept. Their players answer one by one, and their owner can turn the challenge down.
