Additional Details and Information:

If the head of the guild party creates a new party or alliance party and re-apply for the Guild War, the currently registered information is over-written with the new party members and bet amount.
(The already paid money is returned to the head of the guild party.)

If you want to renew the bet amount only, any one of the guild party members can renew it higher.
All the other information remains the same save the bidding amount.

If no guild registers for the tournament, or only 1 guild registers, the Guild War Tournament will be canceled and any bet is returned to the head of the guild party.

The match table is randomly set.

When it is time for the tournament, the party members are automatically sent to the field.
The war continues 1 hour at most. Each defeated foe gives 1 point and the guild scoring 100 points first is the winner of the match.

In case of a tie, the guild with least member wins. If the member count is equal, the guild with lowest average level among members wins.

During the battle, users may check the status of the Guild War Tournament via Guild War Manager NPC.
If a guild is winning the tournament or engaged in a match, nothing is noted on the (final) room.
While, having a loss during the running tournament, a number is noted of the round lost in the room.
For example, if you lost at the quarter-final, it notes (round of 8).

If being logged out due to unexpected situation, the user can re-enter the match via the Guild War Manager NPC. But, if the tournament is not currently active or if the user is not an original party member, the character cannot re-enter.

Known Issues:

If a user is currently on a battlefield (such as Field of Contention) or on the map loading screen, at the time the Guild War Tournament match begins, automatic teleportation to the Guild War Tournament battlefield may not work properly.
