PENALTIES :
a) Multi-team players will have ALL of their match scores adjusted (to zero or 1, see below) for the WHOLE of the 2017 season. A player whose opponent is subject to such an adjustment will receive 2 points. If both accounts are subject to such an adjustment, the points will be split 1:1 regardless of the actual result.
b) If a team repeatedly fails to remove multi-team players from their rosters, that team could be disqualified for the whole season and none of their matches will be counted for final standings. Such a decision would be taken in accordance with rule 23 "Directors Discretion".
19. Team match scores will be adjusted for all CLOSED ACCOUNTS for all relevant games for the WHOLE of the 2017 season. A player whose opponent is subject to such an adjustment will receive 2 points.

Under no circumstances shall admins discourage to join their Club/Group low rated players, remove any players from their roster especially low rated, unless these players play for more than one Team or has a time out ratio for last 90 days more than 25%. If a team breaks this rule, that team could be declared loser by forfeit for the relevant match; such a decision would be taken in accordance with rule 23 "Directors Discretion". If a team loses 3 or more matches by this type of forfeit, that team will be disqualified for the whole season and none of their matches will be counted for final standings.
22. All Teams should start their matches according to 2017 season calendar at 11:00 AM Pacific time which is 20:00 CET (Central European Time) - new start time feature should be used.
DIRECTORS DISCRETION
23. Exceptionally, in order to obtain and maintain fair and effective operation of the CL, the Directors may reach decisions on the basis of a unanimous vote and subject to a minimum of three Directors voting. ("Unanimous" means all directors voting are in agreement; e.g. if there were 5 directors and only 4 voted, but all 4 were in agreement, that would be sufficient. "Subject to a minimum of three Directors voting" means that if there were less than 3 Directors, the 1 or 2 remaining would not be able to exercise any discretion.)

The Champions League is an eleven round Robin team match tournament between the various football teams on chess.com. The main purpose of the Champions League is to provide as many players as possible the chance to play against people from around the world in friendly competition. To this end, Admins are asked to accept all players who apply into their group. If an applicant is already playing for another Champions League team, send the applicant a message explaining that they can only play for one team before you accept them. If players from other Teams apply, please send them a message telling them which team they could apply to.
Each team is asked to supply two admins to serve as Team representatives.
Rounds start on ... February, March, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November. Admins who are members of the Champions League group will receive a News Item with the instructions for each new round. Announce the match in your group explaining that all members are welcome to join regardless of their rating or experience, and encourage as many players to sign up as possible. Admins are asked not to delete players from the roster or group, or try to discourage players from joining based on their rating, and they may lose matches where this appears to have happened by disqualification.
If you notice a player in the opponent's roster who is playing in another Champions League match for a different team, please notify the admin directly, and resolve the problem before you lock your roster. You can find the names of the Super Admins and Admins who handle Champions League matches in the Team Representatives 2013 thread.
Report problems meeting the minimum number of players, players being deleted from your opponent's roster, etc. to the TMCL 2013 Match Problems Thread.
If you have any suggestions about how the Champions League tournament format or groups could be improved, you can post them to the Suggestions thread.
If you would like to chat, congratulate or thank someone, tell jokes, rant or vent, please post to the Champions League Open Discussion thread. Please do not chat in the Group Notes.
Scoring System: Teams will be awarded 2 points for every match they win, and 1 point for every match they draw. Ties will be settled by Neustadtl score, as in other chess.com tournaments.

Hi, Phoenix_Scorpion I don't understand.
Bayern fans are 4th http://www.chessleagues.com/2016/chl/2/
Not 11th as you indicate.
Not 7th as you claim later.
You do not know how league rules work, err countless times, do not give clear results and remove topics.
It is a pity I sent you a private message two weeks ago instead of nailing you immediately.

If I invite people in Bayern Munchen, I invite those from Central Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.), so are likely to be our supporters.
People from other countries come in our team by themselves.
I welcome anyone to extend the list of unsportsmanlike clubs and unfair admins by examples.
