For my Guild I do not believe that any of the members has access to the War. The Guild did not score any points in Round 1??

The message at the top of the screen indicates that the next War starts in 3 days implying that I can not participate (just like I had just joined the guild) or more likely our Guild was not assigned to to participate in the War, so here is my guesses as to what is going on with my Guild.

Mere speculation, but I see the most likely possibilities as follows with my guess as to the likelihood of each.


 * 1) The War has not really started yet. (Not likely at all since near the end of the Peace phase we were 62.4K out of 50th place and are now 78.5K out of 50th place for the season. That is a lot of medal spending if no points were awarded to anyone in Round 1. On the other hand we only dropped 2 places in the standings, from 224 to 226. It is pretty bunched up at our place in the standing, so that would imply the the teams just behind us did not participate in Round 1 either. (Very, very unlikely. If it were the case that this was a general problem then someone would have gotten feedback from the developers and I assume posted the information here or in the "Known Bugs and Issues" forum.)
 * 2) There might be a handful of teams each War that do not get placed in a competition. Either because there are not a multiple of 4 Guild teams altogether, or perhaps because the matching algorithm could not find 3 other reasonably close guilds in power to match us against. Based on the fact that a number of people have complained here, there is way too many Guilds that this has happened to for this to be the case. (very unlikely)
 * 3) There might be a case (probably due to a software or systems problem) where only a small segment of the Guilds got assigned to a competition for this War. Most likely if the software that pairs up the teams works down from the Top teams this would mean only the top 50 to 100+ teams got paired up before it quit setting up teams for this War. This sort of fits the scenario where we have dropped back significantly from 50th place points wise, but not dropped down in the standings very far. (Only 2 spots.) But again I would have thought that someone would have been notified and the information would have found its way on to this forum. This is the most likely scenario. But if so, it just about screws every guild that was trying to work its way up into the top 50 for this Season as if only the teams at the top are participating. You can never recover from losing out 40K to 50K (which is what we have normally been scoring per War) points for the War as well as the 18K medals that you will have lost out on. So, the Season is over, if a guild is forced to sit out an entire War. Unfortunately (while this might not be the Case), if it is the I am not sure how they can compensate (make it right) us for missing an entire War do to a problem on their side.
