European Nations League (EFIL?)
Every two years, a round of games is played either on the February or May International weekend.
Members have to meet Host organization's requirements (see section Host requirements) on organization of 4 team event which may take four training + competition games to be eligible to register to the event. (solves issue of finding hosts)
Members have to accept terms requirements towards Host organization (see section Guest requirements)
Registered members are divided into groups based on current European Floorball Ranking
Group setup
Groups of four are created as long as there are enough members, if a group becomes less than three one member from group above is moved to create two groups of three.
For example if there are:
- 8 Registered Members: 2 groups of 4
- 9 Registered Members: 3 groups of 3
- 10 Registered Members: 1 group of 4, 2 groups of 3
- 11 Registered Members: 2 groups of 4, 1 group of 3
- 12+ Registered Members: Multiple groups following the same pattern
IMAGE SUGGESTION 3: Group Structure Visualization
Show examples of group formations:
• Visual representation of 8, 9, 10, 11 member scenarios
• Boxes/circles representing groups
• Numbers showing group sizes
• Arrows showing promotion (↑) and relegation (↓)
• Color coding by ranking tier
Each round is considered a European Floorball Ranking round, for each group the first place team is promoted to the next league, and the last place team is demoted.
Example:
- A team ranked 1-4 places last is now ranked 5
- A team ranked 5-6 places first is now ranked 4
- A team ranked 5-6 places last is now ranked 7
- etc..
Points system/tie breakers for each round for each group will follow current rules used in WFCQ or may be looked into.
IMAGE SUGGESTION 4: Ranking Ladder with Promotion/Relegation
Show a dynamic ranking ladder:
• Vertical ladder with positions 1-25+
• Color zones: Top 12 (EC qualification), 13+ (Challenge qualification)
• Arrows showing movement up/down
• Multiple cycles showing how teams can climb/fall
• Highlight examples of teams moving multiple positions
• Include timeline showing "every 2 years" frequency
Top 12: Direct EC Qualification
13+: Challenge Qualification
