Kyiv confirms!
Why there is such a delay between WCL and ECL start? Taking into account that ECL mainly has been created in addition to WCL using combined matches this looks pretty bad ((

If you are free to prepare it and run it, then go ahead and we can possibly start earlier. But as we habe lost two admins I dont have now spare capacity to prepare the season earlier. Last year it started later too. I think it was in Feb too. But I take your point. I will try to align schedule of the next season with smaller gaps between rounds so we can have the same cutoffs for both WCL and ECL 2018 and start 2019 season simultaneously.
