I think there is an error with the links, because the link to the tier 6 and tier 4 tournaments, bring you to the tier 8 registration.

River of Blood is going to focus on the Tier 6 Challenge.  What can I say, we favor smaller tanks.

Good luck everyone!

Ok, so does everyone in the clan get the reward, or is it split?

Can i get into a tier 6 team?  M6 maxed.

hello all I am a retired US army solider for 23 years and I need a invite to a clan I have a KV-1S pretty much maxed out.

Hey all, Im looking for a tier 6 team. I have a maxed out M4A3E2 and by the time of the tourny my M6 will be maxed. Also have a VK3601H but I'm more effective with the American tanks at this tier. I have tier 4 T40 that is maxed out (100% crew) that Im pretty good with also if there is a tier 4 team out there.

Prizing has been updated.

I am with a previous poster to this thread. Where exactly do i find the sign up for the Tier 6 or 4 challenge? the link in the info page always goes to tier 8 sign up. I have tried so locate another link, and have tried to type in a 6 or a 4 where the 8 is in the address bar and still found the same issue. Just some clarification would be nice. Thanks for the help
