@Bish saidDiscuss is fine some like to get personal which doesn't accomplish a thing or will deter my stance in any way. As far as I am concerned things are not going to change the way you and a few other clan leaders want. If you and a few others get your way, then I will have to decide what my next step will be.
Not sure why you are still on about this.
As I know you can read - you know we are talking about 1200 games for the 2026 Cup.
As I know you can read - you know that is the number of games it looks like the current 2nd -5th place clans are going to play this year in 2025 anyway - so nothing changes there in terms of clan leader work-rate and games played.
The problem ...[text shortened]... nuous. We all can see it is not "next to nothing" - it is exactly what many clans are doing already.
When the amount of work is put into the Clan Challenges some Clan Leaders put in, what you are suggesting isn't very many games. Hell I play more than 1200 games a year, just myself!!!! One of my reasons for being on the Site is the Clan Challenges which no other Site has, that I am aware of.
Why should that change because a few of you clan leaders don't like to have to put the work involved into the Clan Challenges. You have your option of just playing in Clubs and Tournaments. Stay out of the Clans if you can't compete, would be my suggestion.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke said@Ghost,
Anyway, ignoring all that, back to the purpose of the thread.
Any other suggestions on how the clan system can be improved for 2026?
Certainly put more work into them. Get more people and make a full Clan. Amalgamate the smaller clans to make larger ones who can actually compete. Let's not even talk about the position of your Clan at this point. Check in the Greeters section for players as there are many players just new to the site not new to the game. I've played close to 600 games already in a very short time. Many good players in there, that would improve any Clan.

@Bish saidI see now why the Changes were made and probably for the best, if we were allowed to play unlimited after thinking more on it things may go back the way they were, with certain clans just playing each other, which we don't want to happen.
The restrictions we have for setting upon challenges seem to be from a bygone era - we should look at lifting those in 2026.
The 200 rating points difference - clans leaders should be able to create any match-up they both like.
The active three challenge limit - clans leaders should be able to create any match-up they both like.
Nothing wrong with the 200 Point rule, what exactly is wrong with it in your opinion?
You don't seem to understand that some clan leaders will not and refuse to play other clan leaders, that is going to be impossible to change. People would quit first. That we don't want to happen either.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke said@Ghost,
Precisely.
I know your not talking about your clan as you guys don't even appear to be working at it very hard.

@Very-Rusty saidIf you have nothing positive to contribute, please don't bother.

This is just an ideas thread. There is no need to be so defensive.

Then stop talking about certain Clans being disingenuous!!!
That certainly isn't being positive in any way, shape or form.
EDIT: Again, Stop trying to dictate to me what I can and can not say, until you become Administrator of the Site and which time I will have a very big decision to make, should that happen which I very much doubt!

@The-only-Mr-T saidTrevor,
We need a clan world cup. With a kitten giving to each member of the winning clan.
No, what you need is to put in a little bit of hard work which seems to be above you.

@Very-Rusty saidThe majority of your contributions to this thread have been overly defensive and resistant to improvement suggestions. You have tried to shut down open discussion and derail genuine attempts to come up with new ideas.

I wish you luck we know this year isn't your year, and I don't foresee you getting rules changed to suit you and a few other Clan leaders.

Simply because you are looking for rules with would be advantageous to your clan and a few other Clans not the majority of clans.
