Same thing happened to my guild. We declared with ~1:06 to go, waited for an eternity only to be denied. Bit of a let down...

People had similar problems a few wars ago. Basically, when you declare war, it takes a few minutes before you are matched.... so if you declare too close to the last hour and wind up not getting matched in time, then you get dropped. The problem is, I don't know what the exact "safe" buffer time is. In my case, the war declaration - to - start of war delay ranges between a few minutes to about 20 minutes.
We declared our last battle with 20 minutes of buffer time for this reason. We were matched in 10 minutes.
I usually leave at least 10 minutes too. I wasn't there to declare in 2nd to last battle and we got off to a late start, so we hit declare immediately after it ended with 5 to go. It happens. But I think 10 minutes is the minimum for a 50+ level guild.
I always look forward to your war graphs and analysis. They are so interesting and very insightful.
And thank you so much for including Android as well. Bravo!
LOL thanks to my brand new android tablet, I can now access the war data easily! :) If there are any android players out there with a free friend spot and a bit of curiosity. Please help me on my research by adding my android test account as your friend!!!

Thank you for including Android this time Cafedecoy. We appreciate the work you put into it.
I'll be interested to see how this pans out for an epic war.
