Continental License

Post by Shadesnk1 »

In EHM 1.5 they introduce Continental License in Transfer Rules. Could anybody explain in detail how it works?
1) What is difference between Continental a/b/c license
2) What means that country has candidate league for Continental license a/b/c
3) if i got e.g. 3 European competitions how to make some of it more important than others? I should give a license for Champions league, b license for less important competition and c license to least important one?
4)Does entering transfer rules flag for Continental places is all I need to do in league screen editor?

It relates to eligibility to play in the Champions League. I'm not familiar with the tournament but, as I understand it, a league holding a licence entitles a team or the winner of that league to participate in the following season's Champions League. Here's a description from https://internationalhockey.fandom.com/ ... ague#Teams albeit I don't know if this is still up to date:
From the 2015-16 season, 48 clubs from the first-tier leagues of at least ten different European countries will participate. Teams can qualify for the tournament by obtaining either an A, B or C license.[3][4]

A license: The 26 founding clubs are granted an "A license", provided that they play in the first-tier league of their respective system.[9]

B license: Two teams—the top regular season team and the top playoff team in the previous season without an A license—from each of the founding leagues (Austrian EBEL, Czech Extraliga, Finnish Liiga, German DEL, Swiss NLA and Swedish SHL) will also participate.[10] If these top teams are already founding clubs with A licenses, other teams from the league can take the B license spots. The order the B licenses will be handed out is:
  • National champion
  • Regular season winner
  • Runner-up, regular season
  • Play-off finalist
  • Best placed semifinal loser
  • Worst placed semifinal loser
If the leagues after that still don't reach their guaranteed number of places (EBEL: 4; DEL, NLA and Extraliga: 5; SHL and Liiga: 6) the third and fourth placed team in the regular season also can be considered.[12]

C license: The rest of the places will go to "wild card" teams, from European first-tier leagues other than the founding ones. The C license teams will be drawn from amongst the champions of the IIHF Continental Cup, Elite Ice Hockey League (United Kingdom), GET-ligaen (Norway), Ligue Magnus (France), Metal Ligaen (Denmark), and Slovak Extraliga (Slovakia).

Thanks for above! :)

I thought this is hard coded as after a year of game(where I placed different countries into competition) I still have above rules applied.
Need to sort out how things look like with lower licenses too :)
