I am delighted to see how many new clans have expressed interest in CL

34 Clans are it at the moment and there are a few more I know of who are working on to get things organized.

As JK said it remains a question, if the new clans can field a roster/lineup in time and dont end up booting out on multiple templates. To expect that every clan plays till the end, would be too much of an expectation for a first season. So if you stick to play, you should do well actually.

Just recently I had a talk and remembered how HAWKS started into Clan League 7. In 3x 1v1 tournaments we booted every single game. At the end we still got 2nd last. That should not be a primary goal for the new clans to start like this. But shows half the part is sticking to it.

knyte club retracts its sign up

Announcement:

Due to some clans of last season likely dropping out the question comes up, which clans are moving up instead. This was not described till now. So I do add how I do add how it was managed in the past:

Addition 10/31//2022: Divisions - Clan Dropouts
If a Clan drops out, other Clans are moving up in this order for Seeding: next Clan of below Division promotes, 2nd last Clan stays, next Clan of below Division promotes, last Clan stays, next Clan of below Division promotes, ...

Because we got a high inflow of new clans interested into the upcoming Clan League Season, we need to assign new clans without any seeding criteria into the Divisions.
It seemed no fair way to randomly assign this clans to differently high valued Division D or E or F or what ever.
Instead:

Addition 10/31//2022: Divisions - Division D in CL16
Division D is split into parallel groups of maximum 7 clans.
From Division D promote as many Clans needed to receive 14 (2×7) Clans in Division C.
Seeding Criteria for parallel groups is in this order: Rank, Ratio of Points to Contested Points (PC%), Tournament wins, Tournament 2nd places ...

How many groups it will be for Division D, cant be said. That depends on how many clans sign up and send in a valid Roster and Lineup too. Currently with 34 clans this would leave 13 clans in D. That would go with 7 clans in D1 and 6 in D2.

M'Hunters sign up for CL16.
For now, I am the only contact. A second contact might be nominated later.

Second contact for M'Hunters is krinid:

Will M'Hunters be starting from the bottom in Division D or contesting the slot in Division B currently claimed by Optimum?

MH has already confirmed that it will not contest Optimum's spot in B, so I assume it will start in D

VIW is willing to exchange the slot with whoever wants to play in B

lol @ l4v, trying to stir things up

Hello, Celtica will play

@krinid: more trying to surface any confusion now rather than later, since late-arising drama about contested slots has caused trouble before. Worth double-checking that the slot's uncontested.

L four Vee can you stop creating drama in this drama free scene, i think it's very uncool. also i heard m'hunters are giving their slot to the knyte club, it might interest @knyte if he's reading this

with Celtica it would be 15 clans in D.

so:
A 7
B 6
C 5 clans
D 15

I think someone from D should pass to C.

Currently we have 36 clans.
7 in A.
7 in B.
7 in C.
The other 15 in D.

As long as it doesnt go over 21 clans in D, it is 3 D groups. Of each group top 3 clans are meant to promote.

If it become 22-28 clans in D, its 4 groups and top 2 clans are meant to promote + the best 3rd placed.

If it become 29-36 clans in D, its 5 groups and only the 1 top clan is meant to promote + the best 4 2nd placed clans.

...

oh sorry i checked page 1 and saw lwess clans

Does that mean there will be an E and/or F next season? won't that create multiple C's afterwards?

I genuinely believe there will be a division E this season.

either people forgot how to read, either people have gotten lazy to the point of not reading a forum page, either way this is a sad sight

Yes, this will create 2 Division C groups next season. :)

100% I cant say what happens in CL17. Now we are before CL16. Thats some time to go still. Likely we stick to 1 group in Division A, 1 group in Division B, 2 groups in Division C and and an unknown number of groups in Division D. :)

No, there won't be a Division E this season. :P
