Yeah I can't figure this out either. One big group would help, after all some coaches, apparently all the elf teams, are getting games. But I had trouble too in F3C, so I dropped back down into FQ and I can get games, now I just need to post a win one of these games! 
Tho I must say I play an orc team with a 10 FF and have played against a dwarf and Khemri team with 4 and 5 FF and the winnings were small. That might help the Bashy teams to get games....*Shrug* |

Yeah 20 people at each group is to few. Around 50 would be much better. And then when more guys join faction division (since it will be easier to find games) a faction level can be separated into 3b 3c etc.
The best way to find a game is to go to the faction page and see who is online and then ask him or her for a game in the chat. |

What do think of this ?
I believe that in faction it is a league and as a result you should not be able to refuse matches. eg in the Premiership West Brom can't say to Man Utd sorry don't want to play you, you are too good. That sucks. ( for americans - replace West Brom with Jets and Man Utd with Cowboys ! )
so
IMO if you decline a faction match i.e you are online and refuse to play ( the most annoying is when it is regarding FF ) then you should pick up minus points?
Yeah - Good IDea ? In faction cherry picking should be seriously frowned upon ! |

bad idea lol. You can't simply force players to play. If I must go in ten minutes and you ask me to play, i'll get a penality? that cannot work.
I used to like faction, I start to love more tournaments. lol. |

Yeah how do you decide when a coach has refused to play?
I really like the idea of a league where people cant refuse games, but it's going to be unpopular with lots of coaches and I can see it being swamped by Dwarfs and the other basher teams.
I hate 'elf bowl' as much as the next minotaur 
but some people just don't like to see thier players go squish.
I get the feeling faction may be deader than a dead thing. I like being able to play whenever and with as few restrictions a possible, faction just dosen't work for me  |

dunno about how elves are in faction, i've brought a lil Zon team, and everyone just refuses to play em... I challenged an Orc coach yesterday, he woulda had 40 pts str more than me (160 vs 120) and he turned me down... very encouraging 
i think an example of how players avoid games goes like this. I asked a player for a faction match, he checked my teams, and said 'how about a ranked match xxx vs my yyy team. In both cases he would have had higher TS. i was in the mood for faction so i turned his offer down instead. beat that... |
