This is a cross server event. It happens every other week and starts at 9 PM on Tuesday. You must sign up for it on Monday (not sure of the exact times). When you sign you you get 2000 Tickets that can be used to buy items in the CWF shop. Once you have signed up you do not have to be logged on to participate in the fights. The first two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) are the preliminary rounds. There are 8 rounds each day consisting of three battles each. The player that wins the most battles wins the round. Players from all servers that have signed are paired up (the method of pairing up is not really known and it may be random) are paired up for each round and the results of each round does not affect the pairing for the next round. You get 200 tickets for each battle (not round) that you win and 100 tickets for battle you loose. You also get 1 point for each win. You can increase the amount that you get by 'betting' using Gems (not recommended at this stage because it is not cost effective).
At the end of the preliminary rounds the 512 players with the most points go into the elimination rounds (no one knows how they pick who us picked when the are more players with the same amount points that will fit into the elimination rounds. In the elimination rounds the players are paired up (no one knows how the pairing is done but it is definitively not by seeding) and the looser of each round is eliminated. The number of fights on each round start at five and increase (but not on each round) until the championship round where there are 11 battles. The number of tickets that the winner and the looser gets also increases as the the the elimination progresses. Players that are not fighting can bet on the fights. The fight that you can bet on is randomly determined for the first round and after that you follow the winner of that round. You do not loose anything id you loose the bet. The amount of tickets you get for a win is at least 1/2 the number that the winner of the fight gets but it is determined by the number of players betting on each fighter. If the 'underdog, wins, you get more tickets. You can also get some tickets if you bet on the looser. I am not sure how that is calculated. The elimination rounds are held on Thursday and Friday with the Final on Saturday.
You can change your formation before each fight but the formation freezes one minute before each fight. The Heroes' equipment and runes is set using the game mechanics (outside of CWF) but the actual formation is set up inside of CWF and does not change (including the equipment and runes that were selected) unless you change formations inside of CWF (formation, equipment and Rune changes outside of CWF, as well as adding Saints or Stars stars to a hero do not affect the CWF formation unless you change formations inside of CWF and load the formation). Within a round, the looser of each fight gets a 5% increase in defense and offense and this accumulated from fight to fight.
The players that make it into the quarter final get additional rewards that increase depending on how the player places in the tournament. These rewards include Spirit plans, Chips (the ones that you embed on equipment) and cards for special heroes.
