Word gets around that CORP are set to beat Chou's in the 3v3 (and, 2 of their members have been booted twice in the one game =( ). If Illuminati were to beat M'Hunters, then we can have a last second jump ahead of M'Hunters, even if they do beat Dutch (and they probably will). That'd be pretty cool :)

Me and my partner beat Dutch in Szeurope so ILLUMINATI is guaranteed second place now.

This will likely come down to the M'Hunters vs. ILLUMIANTI 3v3 game as it is still on turn 4 (or somewhere around there) due to a very, very long vacation by Gimli who then went inactive -.-

But I REALLY want to finish with 150+ points so we need to win that last game.

Is it correct that Hawks has fixed its 6th place through Dutch's lost? (max points must be 56 for Dutch now?)

:P

I have decided to not post complete updates until the very end. Posts for the winner of the remaining three games will be `made.

@Lets Fight, Hawks is guaranteed 6th now

Potential Finishes

Lu Fredd      1st
ILLUMINATI    2nd
M'Hunters     3rd-4th
CORP          3rd-4th
General Chous 5th
Hawks         6th
Dutch Forever 7th

All 2v2 games have wrapped up! Just two 3v3 games left. Nothing has changed from the last update, CORP can still pass M'Hunters in the end.

I was just thinking about what would happen if a clan dropped out from a division above D1 and D2, what would happen?

I assume the ranking system would be used to promote a clan but at this point it seems obvious that 'assuming' the divisions are equal is wrong but there isn't anything that can be done about that. Here is a rough estimate of ranking the clans (since the games aren't finished):

      Clan          Division          Points
1st:  VS               D2              188            Promoted
2nd:  Yin Yang         D2              173
3rd:  AWF              D2              168               
4th:  Lu Fredd         D1              164            Promoted
5th:  ILLUMINATI       D1              148
6th:  M'Hunters        D1              142
7th:  CORP             D1              138
8th:  General Chous    D1              129
9th:  Olympus          D2              113
10th: Poon Squad       D2              92
11th: Juggernaughts    D2              91          
12th: Hawks            D1              57
13th: Dutch Forever    D1              52
14th: Darklords        D2              15

Lu Fredd, the winner of D1 and a promoted clan, is only ranked 4th out of the two divisions. So if another clan needs to be promoted it will only be a clan from D2. D1 has almost no chance here.

It is obvious that D1 and D2 are completely different divisions, they aren't mixed when ranked at all so is it fair to promote based on ranking the clans? No. Is there another way? No. It sucks but there isn't anything anyone can do about it. Anyways, just something to think about.

you cant compare the clans until they face each other
thats all

If it were up to me, I would schedule a head-to-head(can be any format) between Yin Yang and Illuminati and the winner gets that vacated spot.

^^^^

Without DARKLORDS being DARKLORDS, it would be very close.

@motd, what you mean?
The 2 clans have been decide already. Or there any 3rd clan to promote?

@KKND

I was answering this hypothetical question posed by GE

I was just thinking about what would happen if a clan dropped out from a division above D1 and D2, what would happen?

Alternatively, you could drop games involving clans from the bottom (one by one) until the leagues become comparable. I bet it's going to be a lot less silly once you take out DARKLORDS and the Poon Squad (and the bottom 2 clans from D1) from the equation.

@Kynte, is it possible to drop these games with a program as opposed to doing it manually?

And I'm stoking conversation, Division D1 needs to have the most number of posts! Division A can never pass us!

Possibly; depends on what data's publicly visible.

All the tournaments are publicly visible. The Clan League data sheet is publicly visible but only select players can edit it.

you could drop games involving clans from the bottom (one by one) until the leagues become comparable.

I did this for division A and D1 and I found out that LuFredd > Apex, as expected.

Seriously this idea is stupid

^ I suggested it for D1 and D2, not A and D1. We're already buying into the premise that D1 and D2 have comparable participants (which I agree is BS); I'm just suggesting a better way to do that- removing the clans that make it obvious that's not the case and recalculating. Take out the Poon Squad and DARKLORDS and the bottom 2 clans from D1 and you'll end up with somewhat more comparable points records since you get rid of the bonus points D2 clans got from getting paired with some shit-tier teams.

I might be able to help, I'm building a bot that will be able to handle leagues, if you give me an idea of what you want I can try and incorporate that, I haven't got to the point where I can test it in public though yet. I can always push it if you want something soon though?

(I don't know how this system works as I don't follow the clan leagues)

@knyte But Poon Squad got more points than Juggernauts. Why remove Poons and not Juggs in this case?
