Clan League Season 4 Sign Up's

[eddie2]

Nukes were never passed...And never would of been

nucs were passed for 1 time use per set as a test run. it was also part of the conversation that brought up the timing out to avoid spoils rule. which was the reason most were against the use of nuc spoils. this rule has been added, don't get me wrong things might of been redone but last i new this was how it was confirmed.

Once registration is complete, clans will be placed into ranked tiers according to the algorythmn.

A draw will then take place in live chat to determine the clans in each division (each division will have one clan from each tier).

Please PM me if you would like to be one of the VIPs to draw numbers (numbers will correspond to a list which I will make (and send to chemefreak in advance)).


The Time:
CC Time: 2012-01-05 18:00:00
If you click the link it will tell you the time for your time zone (I think CC the same as EST).


The Place
Live Chat
Type "/Join CL4" for the chat room.


Any non-VIPs in the chat room are requested not to confuse with the drawing process. In between the drawing of clans for each division there will be opportunity to comment, as well as at the end of the draw of course.

Format Finalisation - Given that We Have 39 Clans

Phase One

Four Groups of 6 Clans (Divisions A,B, C, D)
Three Groups of 5 (Divisions E, F, G)

Clans in Divisions E to G will all automatically be awarded 1 point (and 9 game wins and losses) in view of equalising qualification possibilities for Phase Two vis-a-vis clans in larger Divisions playing one extra round.



Qualification to Phase Two

Winners of each group progress to Division 1
The top clan in 2nd-place also qualifies for Division 1 (according to points, then games won/lost ratio)

The remaining 2nd-placed clans qualify for Division 2
The top 2 clans in 3rd-place also qualify for Division 2 (according to points, then games won/lost ratio)

The remaining 3rd-placed clans qualify for Division 3
The top 3 clans in 4th-place also qualify for Division 3.

The remaining 4th-placed clans qualify for Division 4
The top 4 clans in 5th-place also qualify for Division 4.

The remaining 7 clans qualify for Division 5

can just groups with more clans 'delete' pts gained from encounter against the last positioned clan at the end of division?

I think it is 6 of one, half dozen of the other. No clan gets eliminated in the first phase anyway. The win/loss is just to get the order for Phase II. Also, there would be an EXTREMELY weak clan as clan #6 in those divisions as they would be almost at the bottom of the A400. Thus, adding a win seems like the fairest thing to do.

I agree. with this solution clans in groups of 5 will be handicapped because everyone wil achieve the best results vs the last clan in any group.

I agree with josko. I don't know that I have a solution, but that method isn't fair.

We're sticking with the original 1 point adjustment, its too late to change after the draw.

I think the group with my clan and RJ's will be grumpiest about this. Imagine the furore if we change the adjustment now that our clans are in a tricky group.



Anyway, its very tricky to arrange a system with an awkward number of clans, especially when you wish to get as many as possible involved. Feel free to post comments (or get your rep to post comments) in the cla discussion about next year's CL. One option in future may be that we cap numbers - for example, any clans joining after the 32nd aren't guaranteed a place until the 35th clan joins, etc ...

UEFA, FIFA and various other sport organizations usually use the rule mentioned by benga in the situations like this (IE - when best of all 2nd placed teams need to qualify) - disregard the results against last placed team in groups with extra team. I see no reason not to implement it in the future (if now is to late for CL4).

Do they?

A lot of UEFA qualifications involve 2nd place in smaller groups having play-offs.

Anyway, another idea for the discussion thread mentionned above

I think a system like that would be ideal. It would also make people sign up faster.
