@Wycombe-Al
This is the 2nd instance of a bug I pointed out to Russ.
This where games duplicate when challenge is created, but then can play out as separate games.
Send a note to Russ. Or post as a bug in site ideas.

@phil-a-dork saidIt happened the only was possible maybe, the other leader accepted and then started seconds apart. I was setting up other challenges so was on my clan page. I saw the start button suddenly appear and immediately hit it.

What are the odds! 😮

@they saidI would say it is glitch/bug, something that has to fixed. I've never seen it in the past and been playing in Clan Challenges now for going on 13 years. I've never seen it up until this point and I believe an upgrade was done not long ago. Could it possibly have had something to do with that? I certainly don't know enough about programming to know.

@they saidAs an added thought, it may not necessarily mean that 2 clan leaders are hitting the start button at the same time time, or seconds apart.

This could happen hours apart.
If 2 clan leaders have a start prompt, when they shouldn't, then one leader starts the challenge, but only updates the display on his side.
And the opponent still sees the start button on his side. Then when he clicks the start button (which could be hours later), he updates the challenge id, which is the same for both players, so he ends up duplicating the games.
Just my speculation.....

I've added more defensive code in an effort to stop this, but only on the new beta (for release within next 2 weeks.)
If any clan leaders would care to do some clan management whilst using the beta, that would be helpful anyway.

@russ saidAnātman has been doing all clan management on beta for awhile now with no issues.
