Why the Club Competition system doesn't work!
So since the next Club competition recently started I had some thoughts on why the whole club competition system does not work and isn’t fair at all.
We came 2nd in the last competition and it was a tough race till the end. We lost and got nothing out of it which is okay. BUT the team that came first is again in the same division now. That’s where I start to believe the whole system isn’t fair for clubs who are willling to come first and doing everything for it, but there is one contender in their division who will always be better because of more people, more time or whatever. Now to my point - let’s say we finished the competition with 1,000,000 points which is quite good but still didn’t get any reward from it. Now there are also divisions where the first team maybe has 500,000 points, they win and get the reward, even if they weren’t as good as other teams in other divisions (who didn't win because of better competitors) but just lucky to be in the 'right' division.
Now where is the point in becoming 2nd? If my team realizes after like 3 days that there’s no chance to win, we can actually stop playing because if we’re second in the end, we’re still moving on to a higher division which drastically reduces the chance to win again.
I hope it becomes clear somehow what my problem really is… if there is one team you know you can’t beat, it’s best to not end 2nd because that’s a burden for future competitions.
Sorry if some of my thoughts may sound confusing here, I wrote this in a hurry because I’m quite upset about the situation… maybe I’m missing something important and someone has some explanations on why it's still fair.
