Clan league produced a set of rules.
https://www.warlight.net/Forum/141458-clan-league-8-preparation-threadThose rules understandably contained ambiguity. Creating crystal clear, easy to read rules is notoriously difficult and the first clarification to the rules has been made. It almost certainly won't be the last.
The precedent has been set that where the rules are ambiguous, and players act in good faith, without an attempt to deceive, after the rules are clarified, clan league will not punish retroactively. This is a positive result for the community and all taking part in clan league.
The alternative would be to set a precedent that clan league can punish teams retroactively, which is always very dangerous ground morally. Lets, for example, take rule 8)
Stalling - Highly discouraged. No official rule since stalling is in gray area. A player could be suspended if blatant stalling takes place. Stalling is not taking 2+ days per turn. It is delaying a game that is clearly lost. That isn't very precise. If clan league had ruled it would punish retroactively then lets suppose at the end of this season they decide to clarify that rule, and in the clarification alter it to remove the gray area wording and state, if you are caught deliberately stalling, then it is cheating.
Then in situations such as

Cheating - Determined by panel (if not stated here). Cheating is 1 season ban (min) and loss off all points in those games. Thereby banning the clan for a season when they broke an ambiguously worded rule, which was clarified after they had broken the rule to carry a much more severe punishment. This would be highly unfair.
I'm glad they didn't go down that route and wisely took a fair and nuanced view in making their decision in the Mhunters case. Good work clan league, Warlight is lucky to have a such a dedicated team who are prepared to make these kind of decisions.
