Here is the problem. Your numbers are way off on the clans.
These numbers are generated as of 15 minutes ago.
Yes there are 145 clans shown on the pages.
3 of those clans are Anti-Metallica, The Arrow and Breaking Bad
This reduces us to 142 clans.
Of those 142 clans, there are 23 that are either dead, not playing any challenges at all or the ...[text shortened]... ore, there is already

54 clans that are minimal in size.
66 clans with 7 active members or more in them.
there are only 32 clans at RHP with at least 10 active members.

Maybe a two-tier system would work better: one for the 32 large active clans and another for the rest.
Originally posted by moonbusAnother suggestion is to combine the smaller clans? could that work?

Not much can be done about the 23 that are either dead or not playing clan challenges.

Originally posted by padgerPadger.....I have a question. I just finished a match with a clan that everyone knows, and respects. We actually would have had a draw for a lot of points. It was a perfectly well matched games. However, four players from the other clan did not make more than eight moves and were timed out. All the other games played out. But two players from the other team for some reason could not play their games. They started and then timed out. Because the system gave those games a draw, we lost. If they had given us the win due to their timing out in four games, we would have had a split in points. Everyone was perfectly matched up.
Now that the shambles of last year have been sorted we need to make changes to ensure fairer results in future
I would personally like to see an end to negative points to stop resigning games early once a challenge has been decided
There should also be a limit on how often challenging the same clan can count towards a clans total points to stop what happened last year
Should the clan who plays the games and does not time out be punished? I thought this to be unfair. My players play their best, they don't get involved in the politics in here, and they don't care about wins and losses. They love playing, and even if the other players are a lot better.
But it would have been really nice to have earned that draw. How can the clan who moves, and plays, get punished for lack of movement from two people on the other clan? I am sure they did not mean to. Everyone times out once in a while. Is this eight move rule new?
