-All members of both participating crews are eligible to earn points towards the battle during the 24-hour period. However, if one crew is larger than the other, only the top players from the larger crew up to the active number in the smaller crew will count towards the score.+In order to keep battles fair, team sizes are fixed to the active number count of the smaller crew. The larger crew then has 24 hours to select which members will participate in the battle. For example, if a crew with 10 active players is matched with a crew with 5 active players, each crew will have 5 members in the battle.
  
 Battles are winner-take-all, with 50% of the bet pool going to the winning crew bank and 45% going to the players based on their individual scores. Battles are winner-take-all, with 50% of the bet pool going to the winning crew bank and 45% going to the players based on their individual scores.
  
 ===== Challenging ===== ===== Challenging =====
-There are two ways to participate in a battle: challenge or be challenged. Either way, you must first check the "Battles" option in your crew settings. Then, you may get semi-randomly matched with another crew that is looking to battle.+In order to battle, you simply go to the "BATTLE" tab in your crew and click the "CHALLENGE" button. Alternatively, you can go to the "BATTLE" tab and click to the "CHALLENGE" button to specify what bet level your crew is interested in. The system will then try to match you with a similar crew, a process that could be instant or could take up to 24 hours. Once a match is found, you will both have 24-hours to prepare before the 24-hour battle begins.
  
-Alternatively, you can go to the "BATTLE" tab and click to the "CHALLENGE" button to specify what bet level your crew is interested in. Once at least 50% of the crew votes to accept the challenge, the system will try to match you with a similar crew. Once a match is found, you will both have 24-hours to prepare before the 24-hour battle begins.+The buy-in is set to 50,000 chips per participant. When you start a challenge, the maximum amount of chips will be removed from the crew bank and then any excess will be refunded if your crew is matched with a smaller team.
