There's a lot of trolling in the "rank the top clans" thread, so I went through the last 6 months' RSC aftermath posts to try to rank the top CWA clans in a more rigorous manner.
This is NOT an overall ranking of the "best clans in oldschool" (ROT and AF aren't featured in this ranking because they don't do much CWA, but they're certainly top clans by most metrics). Instead, it is a brief summary of OSRS clans' year-to-date CWA records, with the top clans in this ranking generally having won the most fights against other good clans. (One inherent caveat is that not all clans post aftermath topics for all their CWA victories, so a clan's rank reflects both its CWA prowess and the consistency of its aftermath topic posting.)
Results
Main clans only (including country clans):

Methodology
- Fight results are from RSC aftermath threads started between Jan 1, 2015, and June 6, 2015
- CWA only - no wild fights
- No pures (many pure aftermaths are posted on other sites and not on RSC, preventing accurate ranking)
- No distinction between P2P and F2P fights (and other variations in rules): only the result is considered
- To be included in the ranking list, a clan must have been featured in at least 10 RSC CWA aftermath topics since Jan 1, 2015.
- Ratings are computed using the Elo algorithm, similar to those in League of Legends and professional chess. Beating someone with much higher rank gains you a lot of rating and loses them a lot. Clans' ratings were set to 1200 on Jan 1, 2015, and updated sequentially in order of RSC aftermath thread start date.
