Benefits, Expectations, and Goals for Clan Wingnaprayer Team 

The clan management team defined some clan expectations for our Golf Clash (GC) clan:

• Remain at clan Master 3 as a friendly, supportive Master 3 clan. We were promoted to Master 3 in Season 39 and finished in the top half of Master 3 clans ever since.
• The minimum weekly level to join our clan is Professional 3 or higher. However, newer golfers below Pro 3 who contribute more than 500 clan points a season should contact the clan president.
• We are an international clan with members from many parts of the world. Our chat language is English. We support Ukraine.
• Continue to have clan captains help newer golfers improve. This is primarily done in clan chat and in our private Facebook or Messenger group right now. Newer golfers should read the clan web page, which has helpful tips from many seasons as well as links to the many GC guides and videos.
• Retain in-game clan chat and retain/improve web links on our web site and Facebook group. To limit excessive non-GC chat, you can use the Clan Wingnaprayer Facebook or Messenger groups, or read this section below.
• Continue to explore new ways to use our private Facebook group. We post links to tournament guides and other useful info clan mates discover or write.
• For all clan mates, the minimum clan points per a full season is now 250 (effective Season 71). NOTE: This level is lower than most Master clans so you can focus on your own goals.
• A new (recently joined) clan mate must provide some clan points in the first 48 hours and 25 clan points during their first week.
• The required clan points per season for Vice President promotion is now 250. Captain promotion when a Vice Captain has at least 750 clan points per season. Promotions can be delayed if the member does not act mature. Once you join, you do not need to maintain the minimum weekly league level.
• For now, we welcome new, active players. We are independent and not involved with feeder clans or a clan family. We try to keep it simple.
• We provide links to public tournament guides from GC Tommy, BK Golf Clash, and share certain shots in chat. We welcome both tournament players and/or daily grinders. Links are posted in our private FaceBook group. We post lots of shots to clan chat.
• Only a member of the clan management team can promote, demote, or kick a clan mate. And only after discussion.
• Always show respect to fellow clan mates. No bad language, no politics, and no drama. Because the minimum age for Golf Clash is 12 years old, a member of our clan may be that young and should not be exposed to bad swearing.
• If a golfer leaves before the end of a season, they may not be allowed to rejoin. If a Captain or Vice Captain does rejoin our clan, their rank will start at Vice Captain (not Member).
• If a Captain does not contribute the 750 clan points per season, they will be demoted to Vice Captain.

Benefits of a Master 3 Clan

In addition to clan chat and helpful advice, clan benefits include extra gems per chest, an extra trophy, and 5 golf bags. View the image below and/or this YouTube video.

If you are an active player, you can join our clan after you reach the minimum rank of Professional 3:

1. Tap the clan button in the lower-right corner:
2. A selection of possible clans to join appears. You can either tap one of the clans and join it, or choose Advanced Search
3. You can search a clan by its name, location, and other search criteria.
4. Tap one of the clan names to join it.

Our clan has a private Facebook group named Clan Wingnaprayer. It provides recent announcements and links to tournament guides, elevation info, tips, and other information. To join this Facebook group, clan members need to log into their Facebook account, access the group page Clan Wingnaprayer, and tap the Join Group button. Approval by one of the group admins or moderators occurs within a few hours.

We also have a Messenger group named Clan Wingnaprayer for more social chat.

Clan Policies on Clan Promotion and Membership (Details)

Each Golf Clash clan season is 4 weeks long. If you contribute at least 250 clan points in a season as a Member, you will soon be promoted to Vice-Captain.

To view the clan members as well as their recent tournament results and clan points:

• Tap the clan button in the lower-right
• Tap the Members tab

Any Vice-Captain or Captain should play Golf Clash almost daily, a few times a week, and/or play tournaments. If we have openings, they should invite golfers that are good golfers to join our clan. We usually invite only golfers not already in a clan (the clan name appears below the user name) during 1vs1 matches. But near the end or start of the 4-week clan season, you can invite golfers from other clans who play well. The best clan candidates have substantial clan points from this or last season (if in a clan) and their clan is at a lower level than clan Wingnaprayer's Master 3 rank. To do this:

• In the upper-left, tap their profile picture during their shot or your shot.
• Tap the clan name under their name and view the clan rank. If it is higher than Master 2, consider not inviting them.
• Otherwise, tap the Invite to Clan button. If that button is grey, they cannot be invited (this is a Golf Clash Option).

Anyone can ask questions or share shots/advice using in-app clan chat. We have some excellent golfers who love to share their knowledge. We also have some funny discussions!

The criteria for promotion to Captain are:

• Rank of Vice Captain.
• Contributes at least 750 clan points in a season

At the end of season, the clan managers can occasionally consider promoting Vice Captains who are very close to 750 clan points in a season that often: invite golfers to join our clan, is often a tournament Finalist, and/or uses clan chat or Messenger to share information.

The clan management team can delay or prevent a promotion because of one's lack of age or maturity.

A Captain must have at least 750 clan points each full season. Captains must set a good example for other clan mates.

Clan mates can be removed (kicked) from the clan if:

• Any new clan member does not have some clans points in the first 2 days and reach 25 clan points in their first week. Some consideration is given if they played a tournament.
• Any member who has not contributed 50 clan points or more during their first two weeks and last two weeks of each season and 250 in the full season.
• Any member who has not been active (played Golf Clash) for the last 10 days without communicating why they are inactive.
• Not following the clan rules! This includes no drama, no politics, no bad language, or not respecting clan members.

NOTE: If work, family, or health temporarily prevents you from playing Golf Clash, please type something in clan chat or send a clan message in advance to let one of the clan management team know. Also, if you need to take a week or two off for vacation, please contact a clan manager in advance or use clan chat.

If you are considering leaving our clan, please let the clan managers know in advance using clan chat, clan message, or Facebook. Please do not leave our clan before the end of the season. Wait until the season ends. Those who leave without advance notice or before the end of season are not allowed to rejoin the clan.

If you leave our clan as a Vice Captain or Captain and later rejoin, you will be promoted back to the rank of Vice Captain. You will need to earn the rank of Captain like others.

Our clan mates will not spam their opponents with multiple offensive in-game chat messages before the opponent's shot. Wishing them good luck is fine. Adding multiple chat messages after a shot or game is fine.

The President and management team Captains have certain roles.

NOTE: Only members of the management team should ever promote, demote, or remove/kick a player from our clan and only after required discussion with clan managers.

You can contact Mike (clan President) by sending a Reddit message to u/mikee-nh or a Facebook message to Mike Enh.

For more details about running any Golf Clash clan, read this clan document.

Policies on Clan Chat

While we try to minimize clan chat to GC-related topics, we do not want to eliminate good communication! It is also important/healthy for clan mates to get to know each other. Mike contacted the GCCommunityTeam support team about issues with small chat size and lack of language translation, but any GC development changes will take time. Be aware that sending invites to join our clan counts as a clan message.

Other chat options like our Facebook Messenger group or using Discord are available. Clan members can join our Messenger group named Clan Wingnaprayer.
