You'll have plenty of time for sunday morning church .

Arent you on playing EASHL on sundays anyway Slai?

We have played only couple of nights with loan players per year on sunday because too many players can't play. We have played maybe once or twice on weekend an EHL game but cant remember us playing any ECL game on weekend during all these years. I would probably have to reschedule all sunday games, thats why I am against it.

No sundays please. This tournament has worked all these years with mon,wed,thu defaults. No weekends. Why change it when it works. Those who can play on sundays have rescheduled game days on sundays already. Why force this change for all teams. Change to mon,tue,thu rather than sunday if you have to have different default days on different divisions.

Thank you NHLGamer staff for making this tournament possible. You can get a lot of negative feedback because any decision you make there will be someone in this large community who disagrees with you, it's impossible to please everyone. People will complain easily without actually offering a better solution and will also easily forget to thank you when they are happy with what you have done. I believe the large silent group of this community is happy. Don't mind the negative feedback too much and of course sometimes negative feedback is constructive/valuable too. ECL is important part of many community member's free time, including me. Playing EASHL wouldn't mean much without the ECL, so thank you staff for making my free time better!

Im just little bit confused why people was so much against it. Don't you wanna see these awesome playoff games played? Would people be jealous or something if that extra day would given? If yes, why? I understand there is rules, but we didn't made this on purpose with SJK.

I believe everyone wants to see games played and not WOs.

But I also believe majority of players wants the deadlines to hold and be respected.. even if WOs are required to achieve that. We learned from last year we need to finish the tournament before christmas and that's why there are deadlines.

I have read all the messages here and based on that I think the problem in this case was that LA recieved the information about scheduling problem too late and they didn't recieve all the information about this case before their decision. And maybe teams scheduling games were too confident that they will get that extra day if needed.

If LA would have been contacted earlier with all the important information about this case, maybe there would had been one extra day for semifinals to be played who knows.

Too bad there had to be WOs. I would have wanted to see the games played. But I am also happy LA respected the deadline. Not easy decision to make for LA. Good luck to final teams and good luck to SKY for next season.

Maybe LA needs atleast one member who plays in top elite team. Maybe then I dont have to read about "Sky didnt wanted to play without top 6 players, we have 8 player roster limit" Xddd Who is playing tight semifinal games with y roster. If you want to win something you have to have 6 good/top players. 8 roster limit is good when we are talking about regular season. 

How can you be so arrogant?

[Introducing - ECL Divisions]

Hello,

I hope I am not too late to discuss divisions. I spent some time reading all the comments here and think about this, these are my toughts. First division 3 amateur:

I don't think 3 divisions will stop teams falling apart, drama is always there in this league as in life. And it does not stop teams from quitting before the tournament ends. It might even engourage to that in div3. All of the teams aim to go in div2? Think about teams that have worked for months to get in div2 from div3 and if they think in the middle of the tournament they won't make it. So much furstration, try next time in 3 months to play in the division they want to play? Why even try to finish? What they have to lose in div3 they dont even want to play in? I think there will be highest amount of quits in div3 that has ever been in a tournament. Who wants that? Let's be honest here, nobody wants to play in div3 and I think that is a huge problem as we can't stop the drama in teams. New teams will always come and go. Why punish them? Why is a new team so bad thing, if they want to make a new team let them. Why kill their ECL dreams by putting them in div3, where nobody wants. It will be really hard to create a new team if you have to start from div3, who wants to go play there if you have option to go in higher div as free agent. Divisions will create more drama in teams because now when some teams players want to go different ways, there will be fights who keeps the team in higher div, who has to go free agency and who has to create new team in div3, which might mean quitting ECL rather than playing in div3. I think every team who wants to play ECL wants to play competitive and play against better teams. If not I think EASHL is the right place for them, not ECL. We should not change ECL to be more pleasant for teams that do not want to play against the best teams.

Division 2 pro:

I think divisions 2 and 3 should be combined as div2. New teams start always from div2. Teams would be in groups, every season groups would be divided evenly by last season standings. There would be as many groups as needed. For example 30 teams in div2 = 2 groups, 45 teams = 3 groups. Total of 16 best teams from groups would go in the playoffs. After playoffs #1 goes to div1 elite and #16 of elite relegation to div2. #2-4 of div2 would play best of 7 series against elite #13-15 for elite spots for next season.

Division 1 elite:

It's good to have division 1. #16 straight relegation and #13-15 has to play best of 7 against relegation.

I personally play for Kattiautomaatti and we have to play in div2 in next ECL and I think we deserved it. We did not play as good as we should or as good as we can play. We will try to get back in div1 elite playoffs. So I am not playing in div1 and I am not against divisions. I am not playing in div3 amateur but I am still strongly against div3. I only see more cons than pros in it. We can't stop players making new teams and we should not punish players for that. I think it is only bad for this community. Feel free to comment this post.
