How to Organize a Mario Kart Wii Clan War: Complete Framework

A Clan War is a structured team competition. Here is a complete framework:

1. Foundation

• Teams (Clans): 4-6 players each. Balanced skill (draft or tiered).
• Format: Season (weeks) or Tournament (bracket).
• Comms: Discord server (voice + text channels per clan).

2. Ruleset (Standard Competitive)

• Tracks: 12-16 tracks (mix of nitro/retro). Ban: Rainbow Road (lag), Maple Treeway (glitch).
• Mode: Team VS Race (12 players, 2 teams of 6). Points: 1st=10, 2nd=8, 3rd=7... 12th=1. Team total wins.
• Items: **Balanced** (default). No "Frantic" / "Strategic" only.
• Vehicles: Any. Or restrict: "Bikes Only" / "Karts Only" / "No Flame Runner".
• Controllers: Wii Wheel, Classic, GCN, Wii Remote+Nunchuk — all allowed.

3. Scheduling & Reporting

• Weekly match night (e.g., Sat 8 PM EST).
• Host creates room → shares 4-char code.
• Screenshot final results screen (Team Score) → Post in #results channel.
• Spreadsheet (Google Sheets) tracks: Week, Map, Team A Score, Team B Score, MVPs.

4. Integrity

• No CTGP / CTT / Custom Tracks unless agreed.
• No Lag Switching / Disconnect Exploits. Disconnect = forfeit race points.
• Sportsmanship: No griefing (intentional blocking, item holding to 12th only).

5. Prizes & Hype

• Custom Discord roles, clan tags, banner art.
• Record/Stream finals (OBS + Wii U / Wii HDMI).
• Season trophy (digital image / 3D print).

6. Themes (Optional)

• Mirror Mode Week, 150cc Only, Item Rain (Frantic), No Items (Time Trial aggregate), Character Restriction (Heavy only).

Start small (2 clans, 4 weeks), iterate rules, have fun.
