Is it a standing in Division 5 of EL 2016 by results of the ended matches??

The first column is the number of points scored?

On the chess.com calculation is conducted with the help Tie-Break method ?

https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444840-what-happens-when-there-is-a-tied-score-and-what-is-the-tie-break-?b_id=12321

Why Latvia has 8 points ?

 Latvia has gathered only 2 points by results of the finished matches and takes the penultimate 5-th place In Division 5!

Please, explain a situation as consider points in EL 2016?

The first column is points of course, and the second the EL tiebreak.

Please reread my comments above, and you will see:

Tiebreak is not as in your link, tiebreak is EL tiebreak B*C.

Unplayed matches have been assumed to be defaulted as guessed in the default lines shown above.

As always, tables include unfinished matches.

Thank you very much for this update, ilmago!

I have one question about tie-break, is it just my impression or default victories really have big impact in making tie-break score much lower than it would be if the match was actually played? If so, it would probably be good to change this in rules for upcoming seasons, whether to include some "average" score to reflect those points better, or to just start using the same tie-break method as WL.

As for Div 5-Div 6 promotion/demotion, this is the current situation >

I guess tiebreaks for different leagues can have their advantages and disadvantages. EL tiebreak for example is designed to strongly encourage everyone to start their matches early and avoid forfeits.

Of course right now I have been focusing on trying to make some tables rather than speculating on possibilities for changes for the future.

Today is 31 Dec 2016, time for:

Given the fact that Johan has agreed that the final results for EL 2016 are fine, we are now able to make provisional divisions setup for 2017 EL season using details from ilmago's previous comment.

Before the start of new season, there is enough time for any team admin to react if they think that they will not be able to participate in proposed division. And I will try to contact admins of lower divisions teams to confirm if they are interested in participating in this league.

We managed a place in the A Division. It is an honor and a pleasure, however, we are not able to meet the demands required by the A Division. We do not have a great team, and so we want to stay in the B Division. Please TD to grant our request.

We wish everyone a happy and successful New Year!
Thank you!

Team leader of Team Croatia, NOPI

I guess that there is no reason to not grant this kind of request. Demands are actually not that high (75+ players) but you know much better if your team is up to challenge against much bigger teams or not.

Team France could join in in Team Croatia place in Division 1, as 3rd placed team in EL 2016 Division 2, if they want to?

France is undoubtedly a stronger team than us.

It is a great honor for us as well to advance 2 years in a row in the higher division. The admins of Team Moldova are discussing now the posibility of facing the challenges of participating in Division 2 and will get back asap. Thank you
