lets try to stay on League lvl first, you open to much discusion,and its hard to create something if you run from one side to another.

I think 10's or 12's per level are a little more realistic. I personally like 12's.
That means premier is top 12, first is 13-24 and no matter how many back end clans sign up, they'd fill in the remiainder.
CC3 has 33?
ICL has 32
Not sure how many on CL4...but i think 24 in first two, and possibly up to 36 is a good aim for this thing next year.

10 or 12 per league, well then you dont need to create any new leagues, just play same system like CL4. When you want to create some real Leagues,you need to find option for cometition who will have some value. 10 or 12 teams its to low number for any kind of serious competition. Also its to dificulty to to create 2 or 3 Lvl 2 tiers,with same numbers of clans.
Second league are created ,where all new formed clans can get chance to play,even if they dont have finished chalenges. In all other competitions ,if you have one finished chalenge,you will not be accepted to play on CC3,CL or any other competition, but here in last LEague(second), you can start your competition, and slowly progres to higher Leagues. If you have 2-3 lvl 2 division,then you will get problem to put new formed clans.
If everybody want to have bunch of small divisions,then present CL sheme are perfect, then im in wrong road here.
"Re promotion/relegation.....adopt a system such as the English football league where top 2 and bottom 3 get automatic promotion/relegation and the places 3-6 have a play-off to clinch the 3rd promotion spot. This maintains interest in the league all the way to the last round of matches even if one clan has run away with the top spot a long time before."
Im a not fan of play-offs, if someone are so bad, he need to be relegated to lvl 2 league.
MAybe 5 teams its to high to be relegated, and this can be reduce to 3 automatic relegated, and 3 teams from lvl 2 be automatic promoted to lvl 1. Its can be discussed more abouth that.
One last idea....if there are 3 different league competitions running then it's always feasible to have just one division in each of them, e.g. qwert's becomes the Premier League, the ICL becomes The Championship, and the CLA Clan League becomes the Nationwide League. This allows 3 different TOs the opportunity to run a tourney (with medals awarded in each one) and also alleviates some of the pressure because one TO running 3 x leagues is going to be bloody tough, especially in
You know what, you just give me interesting idea
How abouth that you have Premier LEague with 14 teams, then you have First League with also 14 teams, and Newcomers Cup be qualification for First League.
Premier LEague-14 teams (bottom 3 relegation to First League)
First League-14 teams (First 3 promotion to Premier LEague)(bottom 3 relegation to Newcomers cup)
Newcomers Cup-qualification for First League ( Winner, runner up,and 3rd place qualify to First League)
