wow Polish Eagles and TLA will play in C?

It looks like Division D will be 3-4 clans only? There's 2 unclaimed C slots (Hydra, Varangian Guard), 3 clans from CL12 quitting, and 4/9 of the D slot sign-ups failed to submit a roster and lineup on time.

On one hand, a relief since having 9 D clans (and no lapsed C slots) would've been its own challenge. But at 24 clans, seems like this will be the smallest Clan League season in a while, perhaps since the introduction of Division D.

We've been going over this in the CL panel; an update will follow in about 12 hours

Just out of curiosity, here's the # of participating clans in each clan league season:

1: 10 clans
2: 20 clans
3: 15 clans - 7 in A, 8 in B
4: 24 clans - 7 in A, 6 in B, 5 in C1, 6 in C2
5: 21 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 7 in C
6: 26 clans - 7 in A, 6 in B, 6 in C, 7 in D
7: 35 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 7 in C, 7 in D1, 7 in D2
8: 34 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 6 in C, 7 in D, 7 in E
9: 32 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 6 in C, 6 in D1, 6 in D2 (Q1/Q2/Q3 fed into C/D1/D2)
10: 32 clans - 7 in A, 6 in B, 6 in C, 6 in D, 7 in E (Q1/Q2/Q3 fed into C/D/E)
11: 28 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 6 in C, 3 in D (Q1/Q2 began with 7 each)
12: 28 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 7 in C, 7 in D
13: 24 clans - 7 in A, 7 in B, 5-7 in C, 3-5 in D

So it looks like CL13 is still larger than back half of CL11. But on the whole CL13 will be the smallest CL since CL5.

On the whole, CL seems to have shrank considerably after peaking in CL7 and never gotten back to the same participation numbers after CL10. I blame Cowboy.

Playing a CL with 5 clans/div is still playable, if you move PE and TLA to Div C, you're left with 3 clans in Div D, which is unplayable.

24 clans could fill 3x8 Divisions, but that would prob mess with a bunch of things as well.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what the panel comes up with...

3 in D has been done in the past (CL11). Was that considered a bad experience?

We used a different system that CL so it was only like that for half the games... (Qualifiers and then split into divisions C and D so we actually started with 28 for the 1st half of the season if I remember correctly)

i sent our roster and lineup to Farah

we posted a lineup days ago and i didnt know you live in europe. i sent the lineup and roster before august 30th

i see this unfair, but since im not in charge, i will respect your decision.

Hey guys,

I reckon to be too late... Sorry, I was ill the last days and yesterday was here a hell of a day because of getting tested for C19...

@Malteus: don't forget to also send Farah a lineup, in case you haven't already

I hope you're feeling better soon and don't have COVID.

The following clans submitted their roster and lineup after the deadline, after some nagging by the Clan League Panel:
- Hydra
- Celtica
- USSR

They will receive a 3 point reduction for being too late, but they can still participate in CL.

@Malteus: this is not a lineup. Please check the first post of this thread and mail me a roster and lineup.

You posted a provisional lineup and not a roster. We need those profile links from your roster, as people can change their names, but not their profile links. You don't need to know I live in Europe; there was a clear deadline on this thread. Your actual roster and lineup came after this deadline, unfortunately.

Isn t 3 points too much ?

1 was enought for a 48h delay. Imho

A clan gets 120 points on average. Taking away 3 points is taking away like 2.5%.

Keep in mind that we've made the deadline rather clear and that clans have been mailed about the upcoming deadline if they hadn't submitted a roster or lineup yet.

I would've done 5, so consider yourself lucky

What a ruthless guy!

Clan League will start in 24 hours!

Amazing!!!

So, as I am very smart, I started the wrong tournament by accident. I immediately stopped the CLOT, but the games got created instantly. So, as by my mistake, we're now playing India 3v3 first and DRoR 3v3 second. Have fun :p
