Clan War Rules

What is a Clan War?

A clan war is a match between 2 teams in a 4vs4 format. 4 players from the same clan team up and face 4 other players for a defined set of races. Teaming up allows a lot of interesting strategies and greatly reduces the amount of RNG. Clan wars have been really popular in the Mario Kart’s competitive scene since 2008, and they have been proved to be the most advanced way to compete in a kart racer. Since CTRNF is a very demanding kart racer, we think this format would fit the game really well. Clans may also participate in other formats like 2vs2, 3vs3 or duos. (2vs2vs2vs2)
