Will the score be 38-48, so will association X go to the finals? Or do we go to the finals, because the multiplier is only applicable to the season score?

    That multiplier seems to only affect our individual contribution to the grand point tally by multiplying the corresponding ranking in that week. Matchup results also seems to follow the old rules. That’s my understanding - though the info provided is not totally clear on this yet.

    4 things to the top: 1) member’s own ability to secure top3 in league (for a x3 multiplier for team FA points); 2) a collective effort to win the matchups; 3) luck in drawing less competent associations in the 64-team draw (ideally with more asso with more x1 multiplier members ); 4) luck in getting an easier draw of matchups

    Wish everyone luck (except those other 63 associations in our draw )!

    I read the info the same way as you did. But I saw the picture below on Facebook. Therefore, I’m in doubt now...

    Well, from the image, it is pretty clear each of the 6 match-ups would be calculated separately, which would hurt any non- x3 multiplier player asso (unless their x1 or x2 get both wins to just take away any possibility of matchup opposition getting any points).

    If what you have got is how it will work, our x3 asso teammates will need to win more to cover up for x2 teammates. x1 have to win both matches to just not concede ground. And most platinum asso captains will kick away x1 teammates very soon too (sentiments as long-term teammates to keep x1 may get the asso relegated).

    While i was applying for platinum associations to join, i found that alot of captains had x1 x2 so i think many players have no choice but to put up with it. Even the one you suggested to me was a x2.

    Yes, that’s why a lot of x3 had to choose between a better-performing asso with some x2 or even x1 and a more ‘ordinary’ asso with all x3. It is very rare that a top platinum asso has 6 full and excellent members of x3 (which means none want to leave and hence no vacancies as well ) [We’d rather have one who can win with a x2 than a winless x3]

    I would have joined them again with a 3rd account, but obviously it is way too consuming already with 2. Nice asso with some very friendly teammates, though there are a few newer ones who I am not sure how good they are.

    Hopefully the asso bug will have been fixed in a moment as all the earlier starters could not enter their asso matches again as a repeat of last week.

    No regrets but that association you recommended in in top 100 at the moment. Check them out

    Are they!? I know 3 of 6 are very good and at the time when I was with them with my previous club we were always way, way over 1350 every season, but then getting to top 100 is really a bit better than expected. I must have been mad in not re-joining them back earlier. Lol!

    Our first team asso has been doing rather well, having all won 6x consecutive 1st place finishes stretching from the season before last, and hopefully making it 7 in a row after 11 wins from 12 ties today. Second team asso, though, is struggling a bit lately. Will see how it goes...

    Winners take all in the new format and it suits perfectly.
