This thread will contain all information about the standings of the teams in each division and all match fixtures (fixture threads will also be posted, on a weekly basis, for each league). The league tables will be updated regularly and a matchlog will be kept.
Special thanks to Lord Willy, for his help formulating the league system and other discussions about the tournament format. An invaluable sounding board with great suggestions and ideas.

Division A is comprised of 8 teams. It is the top division in the ENL and the winner of this division might be considered the best team in European Warband. At the end of each league cycle, the teams which place 7th and 8th will be relegated to Division B. The team that places 6th will face a team from Division B or C in a playoff match. The winner of this match will join Division A in the next cycle and the loser will join Division B.

Division C sits below Division B and is the default entry point for all new teams into the ENL, as well as teams relegated from Division B. The format of Division C is quite different to the other two divisions, in that weekly fixtures are not pre determined but are decided each week in a picking process. This is to account for the potentially large amount of teams and possible drop outs from the Division. At the end of the cycle, if the top two teams are separated by 3 points or less, they will take part in a playoff match. The winner of this match will face the team placed 3rd in Division B, while the loser will join Division B. If the team that plays the 3rd placed Division B team wins, they will face the 6th place team in Division A and the winner of that match will join Division A next cycle. The losers of these matches will all join Division B.
Division C - Ladder Format:
Division C, unlike the other divisions is of flexible size (teams may leave and join, throughout the cycle) so it is unfeasible for the same "Round Robin" format to be used. Instead, a ladder format, to suit the specific needs of the division, has been formulated. The details of this are outlined below. Note: This was supposed to be the user friendly version, however I can see that it already looks like the Domesday Book. If anyone has any questions about the ladder, feel free to contact me (steam: captain_of_lust - PM: captain lust).
Points and Ranking:
- Teams are ranked firstly by total points, secondly by rounds won (highest to lowest) and thirdly by round difference (highest to lowest).
- Teams will be given levels, based on their number of wins. 0-2 wins is level 1, 3-5 wins is level 2 and 6+ wins makes a team level 3. These do not impact on the team rankings but play a role in picking and point scoring.
- Teams will earn 3 points for a win against a team of their level or lower, 5 points for a win against a team of a higher level, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.
- Teams that don't have a fixture, in any given week, will be given 3 points.
- New teams joining the ladder will be entered into the next picking week, along with all the other teams.
- Teams may not join the ladder on the second week.
- Any team that has over 5 times the remaining number of match weeks less in points than the team in 4th place will automatically be frozen. This means they will no longer be eligible for matches. In accordance with this, teams may no longer apply to the ENL if the team in 4th place's points is over 5 times the remaining number of match weeks. Teams will not be frozen during a match week.
- If a team exits from the ladder, all the results of their matches will remain.
Fixture Picking: *The first picking session will take place on 16/03/2011. Fixtures for the first match week (deadline 15/03/2012) will be randomised.
This is where the ladder system is rather unique and special care is necessary for adequate understanding of the rules and principles.
- Fixture picking for the coming week will be done via PMs where each team will list their picking preferences in order. The deadline for these picking PMs will always be friday at 20:00 GMT.
- Picks will only be accepted from team reps, in the first instance. Failing that, if a registered member of that team has made a pick, it will be taken.
- PMs must always and only be sent to captain lust and only when instructed in the match thread for the upcoming week.
- The picking order will be determined by these criteria:
- Firstly, teams with 0 points that were in the tournament the previous week will pick
- Priority within this group will be given firstly to any team that didn't play the previous week and secondly by order of rounds won (highest to lowest)
- Secondly, new teams will pick
- Priority within this group will be random
- From then onwards picking order will be determined by points (lowest to highest)
- For any teams that are equal on points, the order will be determined by rounds won (highest to lowest)
- Firstly, teams with 0 points that were in the tournament the previous week will pick
- If any teams are equal in the picking priority, their order will be determined by a random number generator.
- New teams will not be available for picking, unless they state otherwise in their application.
- Level 1 teams may not pick level 3 teams, unless there are no other options.
- If there are two teams left that are available for picking and one of them did not play in the previous match week, that team must be picked.
- Teams may not pick the team that they played against in the previous match week, unless there are no other options.
- If a team misses their pick, it will be randomised from the next 3 teams in the picking order that lost their last match or are new to the Division. Failing that, the pick will be taken from the next team in the picking order that lost their last match or is new to the Division. Failing that, the pick will be random.
- Along with their pick, teams will be asked to name 3 or more dates for the match to be played on (which must be selected from the Saturday after the pick, to the Thursday deadline of that match week). The picked team must then reply, by midnight (GMT) on the Friday of the pick, on which of these days they wish to play, along with the timeslot (17:30 or 20:00 GMT) of their preference. If the picked team fails to do this, the picking team will decide on the date and timeslot themselves. This will be the Date and Time of the match. If the results of this scheduling process are unsatisfactory to any team, for whatever reason, a league admin should be contacted as soon as possible, to try and resolve the issue. Given the nature of the ladder, matches must be played by the deadline, so there is very little flexibility in the scheduling process.
- It is of paramount importance that teams make every effort to get their weekly matches played, since if it doesn't take place, league admins will have the final say on who gets points and any team judged to have been lackluster in their efforts will be penalised.
