 Because the game itself is very unorganized in team action the players tend to take on the organization themselves. This has led to a vast number of different styles of clans.

-Many clans have their own private servers to play their map/mode of choice on. These are most handy for holding [practice] matches against other clans, for matches involving many clans, or simply to practice within their own group. Private servers are also convenient since they do not have problems that plague public servers, such as [[teamkill|team killers]] or console spamming.

 ===Invitation===
 Other clans have a special perception about the player who should join the clan. If they found someone in the community who fits in that pattern they may invite him for joining. An example for an "Invitation only"-clan is ''[[Tear you Down!]]'': The clan invite a player to become trial status and after a sincere exchange of thoughts they do a vote to let him in or not.

-Players show that they are a member of a clan by using a '''unique tag''' (= '''clantag''') which takes the form of a prefix or suffix "tag". Some clans also allows their members to use it at any position of their players name.
+Players show that they are a member of a clan by using a '''unique tag''' (= '''clantag''') which takes the form of a prefix or suffix "tag". Some clans allow their members to use it at any position of their players name.
 Tags are often enclosed in brackets or symbols. For example, in a name like "=DOE=John", "=DOE=" is the clantag and "John" is the player's name. A clan's tag is typically another variation of keyboard or character map alphanumerical combinations, however.
-If a player who is not actually member of a clan uses a known clantag, some clans will put that player on a [[blacklist]]. A result of this is that the said player will now be [[ban]]ned/abused etc. by most members of that clan. The effectiveness of using a blacklist is disputed, however, due to how easily players can be by [[cheater]]s and other problematic players. Banning players based on their name could result in innocent players being banned due to [[Impostor|impersonators]] attempting to ruin their reputation.

However, most active 'blacklisters' check IP's as a routine, so as to avoid this.
