Why does Austrian league have 4 teams?

It doesn't.

Why does Slovakian league only have 1 team?

Because the league ranking (which is based on the performances of clubs of that league in the CHL) is rather poor.

 

[Eye of Ra]

It doesn't.

Because the league ranking (which is based on the performances of clubs of that league in the CHL) is rather poor.

Ljubana plays in the austria league aswell.

Slovakian teams cant have done worse than Polish teams. The slovakian league is much stronger than poland league.

 

[Lambo]

I can't see through this ranking. The performances in the group stage seem to have more value than in the knockout stages. Strange!

 

[tobu]

Ljubana plays in the austria league aswell.

Slovakian teams cant have done worse than Polish teams. The slovakian league is much stronger than poland league.

Slovak teams also skipped a season or two by refusing to play in CHL due to financial reasons of it not being worth it at that time.

Does slovak teams still have financial problems?

Didn't notice that since you listed all the other ICEHL teams under Austria, including the Hungarian Fehérvár AV19.

Slovak teams haven't done worse than Polish teams, but one of the Polish teams qualified through Continental Cup.

Well they aren't rich, they are mostly trying to break even, and CHL really was a lossful endeavor for them, the incentives just weren't there. Maybe that might change with Slovan, but the team would have to get through a round or two of the knockout stages.

It doesn't.

Because the league ranking (which is based on the performances of clubs of that league in the CHL) is rather poor.

Because they have almost no national coefficient. Poland has 65 points in the ranking, Slovakia 40. These points were valid for use in the season 2021/2022. Slovak clubs refused to play this competition, so they could not improve their coefficient for deployment.

The coefficient is made based on the results of all teams in the league in the season. The winning team scores three points for winning in the 60th minute, the opponent does nothing. If the match goes into overtime, the winning team has two points, the losing team one. There is one bonus point for each playoff promotion. At the end of the season, all points of all teams in the league are counted. And these points are then divided by the number of all matches that teams from the league have played. The last thing is this:

The average for the last four seasons is made this way. 2021/2022 = 100% point value, 2020/2021 = 75% point value, 2019/2020 = 50% point value, 2018/2019 = 25% point value.

Perhaps I explained it clearly enough. In October 2021, the coefficient looked like this:

1, SHL - 245 points
2, NL - 226 points
3, ICEHL - 217 points
4, DEL - 212 points
5, Liiga - 206 points
6, Extraliga - 191 points

Sweden​

• (National Champions) (i guess Färjestad is in)
• Rögle Ängelholm (CHL Champions)
• Luleå Hockey
• Skellefteå AIK
• Frölunda Gothenburg

What happens if Luleå wins the Swedish championship, would that not mean that 5th seed Växjö gets the final CHL berth over 6th seed Färjestad? (Luleå lead the finals 2-1 writing this, but it’s far from over)

 

[NathanB]

You missed Great Britain - Belfast Giants off your list of qualified teams

 

[Pardus]

Why does Austrian league have 4 teams?

Because of Vladimir Putin. Olimpija Ljubljana got a Wild Card and replaced Ukrainian team.

 

[KTl]

Olimpija Ljubljana is also Slovenian champion.

 

[Eye of Ra]

I was about to comment but then realized, what have I expected...

 

[swissexpert]

He spams every single thread with this ridiculous anti-Swe trolling, my best guess is that he does it with the intention that we praise them as a reaction.

The biggest problem is: he created some of the threads so they disappear if you use the ignore function like I tried already.

If someone say Czechia is not top 6 that person is not called for being anti-czech. Its absurd that im not allowed to have my opinions without getting made fun of, ignored, bashed etc. Im one of the few sane persons on this forum. And no im not spamming every single thread about Sweden, thats a overact from your side.

Same here And the guy creates like half of the threads on international board.

I should get a clap on my shoulder for that. Im keeping this section alive.

That's true and that's what makes your bonehead trolling so unfortunate.

 

[Elias40]

Dude, I can still understand some perverse ways if you write bad things about Tre Kronor. But why are you dishonoring SHL clubs? Both Rögle and Färjestad will advance from the group, even if they play nine forwards and three defensive pairs.

 

[swissexpert]

We're "bashing" you because you are only here for spamming.
It would be quite fun if you could actually discuss about something for once. I love seeing others opinions and active posters here. But you're even using this thread here just to troll the SHL.
You say Sweden will probably be relegated. Then you insist Danmark is far better than Sweden and Cracovia+Katowice will advance over Farjestad and Rögle.
That's where it all ends with "unpopular opinions" and it is getting just stupid and embarrassing pretty fast..

it is getting annoying for everyone here.

Im having fun, when it's just occassional.

Why so serious?

Im not spamming. Im writing ontopic stuff. But sure, if you guys are so sensitive i will stop with sweden stuff. Lets shake hands and start over. And remove me from the ignore list, because i will keep making threads. Lets act like adults here.

Now lets talk about CHL. I think it will be the best so far with many players leaving KHL.
