Welcome to the ECL, Falun Coal Miners!

Welcome to the ECL, IceHookers! What a lovely team portrait!

Good ol' Ducktales BK - great to see you! Welcome to the ECL!

Hey MotherPucsters Go Pro - welcome to the ECL!

I'm very much interested in this division idea, but if we say division 1 only has 8 teams - that means 7 opponents. 16 games and then the best 4 go to the playoffs? That's semi-finals already. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's very different from what the community is used to.
I agree it's not optimal for teams to take breaks, but in some cases small teams might have 2-3 people that can't play for a specific amount of time and I think that's understandable. I'm not saying there needs to be a rule to allow that, but if divisions is the way we'd be heading, this is absolutely a thing that should've been discussed and agreed on up front.
Are you guys saying that the bottom 3 teams should automatically be moved one division down and the top 3 moved up, or did you mean they'd match-up (#1 vs last spot, #2 vs second to last and #3 vs 3rd to last) in a best out of seven to compete for the spot? My personal opinion is that it should be determined through these teams facing each other. An alternative to what I described above, it could be a group of 6 teams where all meet each other and you see how they rank up after that. The downside is that it would theoretically allow teams to help other teams by losing on purpose towards certain opponents, once they've secured their own spot.
Overall, I think this division thing is one that you either love or hate. It might be a bit complicated for some teams to digest. I think that it would definitely bring a lot of depth into the hockey simulation experience that we're trying to build.
Please note that no concrete decisions have been made regarding the format of future leagues and we're just as excited as you to see where these brainstorms take us.
I don't think it would be fair to start the ECL by placing teams in different divisions without giving everyone the chance to show us what they've got. Thus I think we should be using a more traditional approach for the first league and perhaps using the data we can collect from there to place teams into divisions for the next leagues (if that's what we agree is the best thing to do). -
Welcome to the ECL, Nordic Blizzard!

(Insert Billy's example here)
But if NOS (Or anything team that is clearly good enough to be in Div 1, not just NOS) do decide to leave for a season, they should be put in division 2 to absolutely smash teams?
I'd be down for a GB vs anyone else series but I don't think we'd be able to get a team together
, You're basically forcing people to play. It's not a good idea, man.
Do not underestimate me. I can make an objective system with my ideas and I'll prove it to you with an example. The numbers I use are only based on ease of calculation.
Hey guys, please note the great MultiQuote feature that we have here at the forums. You can click the +-icon next to the Quote button to pick a post to be multi-quoted:
When you do, a message will appear in the lower right corner, and you can click it when you have selected the posts that you want to multi-quote.
It's better to do that than replying to each quote separately.

Have you discussed this problem among the staff? We all EASHL players know that this problem still exists. I know that this tournament is only in its early stages but me and probably many others are interested in your approach to this problem.
I myself would like to suggest that you take this matter serious, because the lag is a game killer and it affects tremendously the teams performance who has the input lag.
Just want to hear your thoughts and ideas!
Hey @gendlik, nice to see you here!
It has been briefly discussed. So far we have no solution, other than:
- Investigate the issue further throughout the community and share best-practice to minimise the lag for everyone.
- Hope EA fixes the issue.
- Hope the invite version of drop-in somehow works better.
- Have every team play an equal amount of home and away games and randomise which teams plays the first game at home.
Any other ideas are welcome.

Aapos Magic Wand - love the name! Welcome to the ECL!

Wow, I'm blown away by the quality of the discussion we are having here! Well done guys!
@Billy44205: We will not call anyone TGMA at NHL Gamer and that was decided before your outburst.
I will have to return to discuss this more once I can find the time, but here's the real question regarding the divisional system we are discussing here
- What will happen if a Division 1 team (or whichever level really) wants to take a break and not play for one season? Can skip one season? Will be dropped one division? Have to start over from the lowest division?

Welcome to the ECL Holy Ghostbusters! Is your goals song the song that I assume you would use?

Hey guys - sorry I didn't have time to release the news yesterday, but here is our official news about the case:

Trying to find two more active players. Still decided to create this team here. I think it's still okay even that we don't have 8 players on our roster yet?
It's ok guys! As long as you fill up your roster by the time the tournament starts and you have the majority at the time you sign up.

Welcome to the ECL guys!

I was wondering where you guys were! Welcome to the ECL!

Welcome to the ECL Finnish Jets!

Welcome to the ECL Nordic Stars! I'm pretty sure I'm going to get your name confused with NOS from time to time.

What kind of stats are we talking about here? Previous tournaments only?
What other stats do you need from Console Hockey? We will of course have our own system for the new stats.
-
I really tip my hat to @Klaus for the positive attitude he has had towards our website. I guess the cat is out of the bag, but we have been offered to import the stats from Console Hockey, so no history will be lost! We are really grateful for this!
It probably won't be implemented by the time the first league starts, but we will work the old stats in there in the future. We should also have the old Finnish Cup stats secure for Finnish players who played in those old leagues.

Very well said @gzell60. I agree we have all the time in the world. As long as our design is smart, we can manipulate data even after leagues have been finished.
That being said, I appreciate your thoughts @Billy44205. You are right that we have thought about most, if not all of the things that have been mentioned so far. The thing is though, that our opinions are not the absolute truth, so we want to hear what the community wants and how they respond to these ideas.

Hey @gzell60,
We will make our own announcement later today.
We did talk to each other and I'm happy to say that the discussion was very positive. No drama.Kind regards,
