This feature would be GREATLY appreciated...it would be nice to see who you matched up with whom, especially if you have many challenges and nobody is responding to them even after several days...
Here's just another idea...I've had a lot of trouble recently with clan challenges in the sense that I offer them but the clan leader doesn't even acknowledge, let alone decline/accept/bounce, my challenge, even when I know they're online and I message them. It might be more work than effort, but it would be nice when searching through the clans to have an option to select for only replying with clans whose leader is recently active; this way I would have a better chance of a quick reply if I offered a challenge,

However some people are permamently online due to never switching off and so they may appear to be online buy they are in fact offline.
You also have to remember that they may have come online to make some moves and will deal with your challenge request in due course.
Also can you imagine if a clan leader was sitting on 10 fresh challenges, each involving say 5 players, and he has to peruse them all to make sure they are fair, knock back some, accept some and bounce back some with revised pairings.
In Thread 64060 the OP alluded to it, but why not use an ELO system for clans. Therefor you would get quality over quantity. The only problem I can imagine is that the highly ranked clans would not wish to play the new/low ranked clans. You could then have each additional participant in the challenge added to how much the challenge changes the ratings (i.e. increase the value of K).
As already said, a simple Clan Table improvement is to have the 2007 net points (or past 365 days) as the default for how the table is displayed. The total points ranking can be viewed by clicking. The current system masks the great recent achievements of little clans like Saint Nick's Clan. Adramforall says the top clans will still be at the top - if they are the most active then they deserve to be but there are a few dozen Nottingham Forests in there, ahead of the Chelseas, just because of their long history.
It would be a convenient, although agreeably not neccesary, addition to have a column on the clan homepage listing how many games were still in progress in each individual challenges.
