My assumption would be the player used their key before 1400 UTC, when Hydra Clash began.

Keys used before the start of the Tournament won't be counted.

I made this mistake, I didn't realise tournament was hours later and used keys

The only issue I have is that there's no way I can reach 35 million yet, so even if my clan wins any rewards I'll be exlcuded, which is a shame. Surely if a clan wins at anything, the clan members who took part should get a share in rewards? Not a big complaint, just a suggestion. After all, we don't have minimum reward restrictions in CvC.

thats my complaint as well/ even though you contribute to your clan winning you may not get a reward because you only did 30 mil damade on Normal

I dont think that is fair / if  its a contribution of all clan members

This is especially the case when trying to farm Hydra more efficiently by putting your best team in Hard and a weak team in Normal, to double up normal rewards. If I put my best team in Normal I have nothing for Hard.
