Update ?

Oh god... 5 months in and still far from finishing...

It's not so bad. CL7 took about 6 months, and we only have about 18 games to go this season :P

1v1s definitely should start 1 month later. Too much stalling in 2v2 and 3v3, this could really start at the beginning if there was just that.

While all 1v1s have already finished a fair while ago, some team games are yet to begin.

I just hope everyone used up his 70 days of vacation so games can speed up to 1 turn all 3 days

Both teams that are the most delaying ones are still on vacation ;p

Your team on Great Lakes(Farah) and our on Europe(Culpa)

Since we're on the subject, what do you guys think of a vacation cap next season?

We're going to use a CLOT for CL9, and I have the ability to track number of days spent on vacation by every player. We could impose hard limits(say 20 vacation days per player), and every active game waiting on that player on vacation after 20 days could be counted as an auto loss.

I pitched this idea on some of the group chats and people weren't too keen on it. Wonder what everyone else thinks?

I think it would be a good idea actually

Sounds great to me.

Same.

I would like this.

you mean make it so CL lasts less than 9 months?! crazy!

Dearie me, please limit vacations.

It would speed up clan league, but i doubt people would enjoy getting booted on cl games despite beeing on vacation.

i'm positive many players will not know about the rule or just forget about it immediately.

Despite the fact that i would like to speed up the clan league i think we should not forget that its just a game. Real life should always come first. If you really want to speed up the clan league i would go to a 2 day boot on the tourneys with 1 or 2 days banked boot time on the teamgames for discussion on picks. (not that i would like boottime shorter then 3 days myself :P)

I agree with master of desaster's concern.

That said, it does seem to me that the new rule can be broadcasted loudly and repeatedly, along with a strong recommendation that players factor this in in deciding whether to play in clan league and for clan managers to monitor this. You could even have periodic reminders on the clan league division threads.

Point is - I doubt this is the limiting factor. Although of course this would raise the further issue of who would be willing to take on this responsibility.

To solve this problem I would increace the game count of team games.

For example:

3v3 = 5 simultaneous games
2v2 = 4 simultaneous games
1v1 = fine with as far as I can see

Vacation ban is a bad idea in my opnion. As Ollie said:

its just a game. Real life should always come first.

3v3 5simultaneous games

Awful idea. Nobody wants to make pick on 5 3vs3 games at once. Also a player can get booted in all of them at once easily and that clan is screwed

I think it's fine how it is. Since cl is only once or twice a year it makes it more competitive.

Though if you're looking for changes then pick a reliable scorekeeper at the start of the season. Master turtle gave up with updates last season in div B and shouldn't of been picked again.

Clot means auto scorekeeping
