[*]Playoffs and relegation will be a 8Q-7T-4D with each side choosing 4Q-3T-2D as described below as the regular season format. The additional triples map is currently being voted on in the CLA and will be Esc-Chained-Sunny.

As for doing a second phased league, that was considered, however, we don't want to take the whole year to do the league and want teams to also do wars and also take part in the CCup. Clans end up doing 2 things at once for the key part of the year, and we don't want to overburden clans. 4-3-2 simply works better for the number of spots etc and some other calculations.

hehe, it would happen more often if you try to argue about something with sense, not only about your bad dicesChariot of Fire wrote:Wouldn't it be just as easy to take the top two from each of the 1st Divisions and have those four clans play a round robin format, thus retaining a true league style.

I think you missed the fact that top 2 clans from every of 4 divisions advance to playoff stage. so 8 clans it would be then and 7 home and away sets.

jpcloet wrote:If we put 8 in a second phased league, then clans may not join the CCup due to game load....most of them are still deciding whether to do the league as the CCup is still going.
