Champions Hockey League Qualification Criteria Incorrect - EIHL (England)

I noticed this one after my first season. I won the regular season but I haven't qualified for the CHL.

This is from the CHL Website

Quote:

The Qualification System
Teams must earn their place in the CHL on the ice in their own league, based on sporting merits only. Teams must reach one of the following criteria in order to qualify for the CHL:

1. CHL champions
2. National league champions
3. Regular season winners
4. Regular season runners-up
5. Regular season third-placed team
6. Regular season fourth-placed team
7. Regular season fifth-placed team

The United Kingdom is the lone exception as the EIHL, in line with their traditions, determine their national champion following the regular season (not in the playoffs).

The page is here, if needed: https://www.championshockeyleague.co...-us/chl-format

As such, Belfast are in the CHL in my 2nd season, they beat me in the Playoff Final. I was annoyed about the loss at the time, I'm even more annoyed now haha!

Is there a way this criteria for the EIHL can be corrected please?

Yeah, it'll probably require a little hardcoding to make it work right, but I think that can be done.

It's because the regular season is 60 games, but the playoffs are over 2 legs initially, then the Semi-Final and Final are single game elimination.

Bit harsh to deny a team CHL qualification if they lose a single game as a Playoff Final, which is why it's based on regular season league winner.

Thanks for the good news on the update anyway!

Same for EIHL achievement. It should be rewarded after regular season victory, not playoff :)
