That only happens if your server have 5 or more active groups.
2 on Wednesday for qualifiers (I think this happen as long as there are 2 or more groups)
Then 3 rounds on Saturday for final, this requires 5-8 groups, 3-4 is 2 rounds and 1-2 is one round (or maybe no war if there is only 1, I'm not sure)
I assume it's a weekly mission? You can reroll those if it's an impossible one on your server.
