Summary
This
tournament will run from April to March.
If
you’re in Domestic League Division 1 by April you will remain there.
The Europa
League champion from the previous season will automatically qualify and be able
to compete in the Champions League no matter where they finish in the standings
in the current season. This will prevent participants from purposely finishing
in the Europa League group and winning it every year. Instead if they win they
will have to face tough competitors in the Champions League the following
season.
The
Champions League champion from the previous season will automatically qualify
and be able to compete in the Champions League no matter where they finish in

When the
Champions League begins all teams will start at 0 points again.
If there
are 8 participants there will be a Quarter Final elimination round (1 vs 8, 2
vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 from Domestic League Season Standings) where the 4 winners
move on, followed by Semi Final elimination and Final.
If there
are less or more than 8 participants there will be a group format for the
Quarter Finals of the Champions League because there are either not enough or
to many participants for a Quarter Final elimination round. The top 4 move on
to the Semi Final in an elimination round (1 vs 4, 2 vs 3) followed by Final.
If there
are 8 participants and only 7 or fewer submit their selections we will have a
group format instead.
Transfers
If you have
enough in your budget 6 transfers are allowed for the Semi Finals and 6 for the
Finals.

also allowed to change your captaincy after every round however that will cost
double the transfer fee.
