@Platinum:

Unless the rules have changed, templates are decided after CL7 is over and voted on largely (or entirely) by the clans competing in A. Rough dates were, at least for CL7, hard to determine- we ended up getting specific templates a month or two before we had to submit our rosters, iirc.

@Chris:

Yep; don't worry, no alts from our end

Thanks Knyte.

Hey there, just a few questions.

1. How will boots be handled?

This is a very important issue, because there was a lot of debate. Will there be remakes for all games with boots? All games with a player booted at the picking stage? No games at all? The list goes on, but after last season I think a formal rule must be introduced.

2. The XS / ONE! Issue

This isn't really my business, but I'm intrigued by it, and it is a really important question that needs to be discussed. Also, this sort of applies to LEA / Acme Co. All but 2 of LEA's competing members joined Acme Co. so it is kind of relevant here, although the situation is different.

3. Can anybody submit templates?

I remember, last time the clans of Group A voted on the templates. How were the templates decided? I have a few that I hope to be able to submit, and I think each clan can submit one template, regardless of what Division they're in, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, looking forward to this one! ;)

HAWKS will participate again.
I'll be the point of contact.

Thanks for managing all of this stuff Chris.

Item 6 added above regarding some questions in here.

@Chris you forgot to include us in your first post about newcomers.

You can contact me or Maiden Pichu(https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=8129497151)

The wolves will be participating in CR8, but change the main point of contact to me since Semice's activity is unreliable right now.

i am to nooby to particpate in corps team :(

ACME will be new this year. please contact CJ https://www.warlight.net/Profile?p=7620467364 for our line up etc

I am curious to see what is happened with Group E. There was talk of Poon Squad and Darklords being banned from Season 8. If so, then Group E only has 5 clans (potentially) participating:

General Chous
Olympus
Juggernaughts Clan
Dutch Forever
Hawks

Just an interesting thought.

I will likely remain the ILLUMINATI point of contact.

Well at least 8 now that Optimum, USSR, and Acme are joining. Probably more since XS is gonna get relegated af.

I thought they'd be put into a Division F / New clan division?

Ah. That'd be interesting, indeed. Clans like the Wolves and HAWKS will be basically protected from ever falling to the bottom that way.

^ True. But Chris said the system may be modified into some sort consistent and more accurate ladder by (as early as) CL9, if it works out well.

I will be 101st point of contact. I'm buzzing for CL8 :)

Darklords may be booted (they barely participated at all). But the other clans seem to have participated full. Please tell me if they have not, I simply looked at the points. Playing bad is not a reason to boot. Skipping all the tournaments is though.

7th Heaven will participate.

I will be point of contact.

4 new clans already showing interest in participanting not a bad start :)

Went back through Division D2 and Poon Squad didn't join one tournament and they struggled to find replacements for two other tournaments. I thought the problem was bigger then that. I take back what I said about Poon Squad.

None of the clans in Division D1 were a problem last season.
