Clan Wars consists of five clans attacking other clans to get better rewards in the form of special chests . The clan with the most wins would win the clan war . Players would receive a Clan war chest in a season of fourteen days . Clan Chests were also removed in the update and replaced with the new Clan War chests . </P> <P> In July 2016, Supercell introduced a new Tournament feature . Tournaments are similar to normal battles, but cards are leveled down so commons are level 9, rares are level 7, epics are level 4, and legendary cards are level 1 . This feature is unlocked at Level 5, but can only be played at level 8 . Tournaments can only be created by using gems, and the creator can choose to make it password protected or open . Based on tournament performance, players are rewarded with tournament chests . As well as tournaments, there are two types of Victory Challenges in which the goal is to win twelve times while losing no more than three times . A Grand Challenge costs 100 gems to enter, and a Classic Challenge costs 10 . Completing (or getting 12 wins on) a Classic Challenge gives you 2000 gold and 100 cards, and completing a Grand Challenge will give you 22,000 gold and 1,100 cards . Supercell has also added various event challenges, for limited periods of time, that add special features to the battles, or allow players to receive special cards . These event challenges can also be played in Friendly Battles . As of the October 2017 update, players would no longer get a refund on gems if no matches take place in their custom tournaments . </P>
