The faction division has gone through a number of changes to reduce the possibility of "cartels" dominating the division. Most of you have seen the discussions, or heard of it so I will not go into details in this news posting.

Because of the extensive changes done, all teams have been inactivated from F and coaches who wish to participate will have to reactivate the team they wish to use.

The new rules for the faction division are as follows:

- You may have any number of faction teams.
- You may have one (1) active faction team.
- Faction 2 is reduced to 30 teams, and Faction 3 is reduced to 40 teams.
- Each team may play any number of matches per round, but only once against the same opponent.
- Each round, teams in Faction 1, 2 and 3 will be assigned eight (8) opponents which will give you points. These will be marked with an S icon.
- Faction Q doesn't have any scoring, and the highest rated (team rating) teams with four (4) or more games will be promoted to F3 as listed below.
- The number of promotions for each faction are changed as follows: F2: 6 teams, F3: 9 teams and FQ: 12 teams. Note that this may differ somewhat due to retired teams.
