It’s unlikely that every CL8 participant clan will sign up for CL9.
What happens if clans drop out of the Premier Division? The aim is to keep 12 clans in the Premier Division, unless we have a lot of clans drop out.
A. If a clan from the first 8 placed clans drops out of the Premier Division (i.e., doesn’t sign up), we relegate one clan less. If another clan drops out, we promote one more clan from the Second Division. We keep alternating like that in case more than 2 clans drop out of the Premier Division.
The order in which clans would end up in the PD would be: RET, AFOS, GON, PHNX, OLE, etc., unless one of them drops out.
B. If a promoted clan drops out, we promote the next placed clan of the Second Division. If another promoted clan, we relegate one clan less. We keep alternating like that if more than 2 promoted clans drop out.
The order in which clans would end up in the PD would be: RET, FSC, ATL, SOH etc., unless one of them drops out.
Some examples:
If ACE drops out, RET will return to the PD. If ACE and TOFU drop out, see above, plus FSC will be promoted to the PD. If ACE, TOFU and FOED drop out, see above, plus ATL return to the PD. If ACE and RET drop out, FSC will return to the PD. If ATL drops out, FSC will be promoted to the PD. If ATN and TOP drop out, see above, plus RET will return to the PD. If ATN and OSA drop out, RET will return to the PD, FSC will be promoted to the PD.

Yes, I have read and understood the rules. (Actually, that's a lie. The truth is I've briefly skimmed them. I can't stay awake through a full reading. I'm sure I'll pick them up as I go along.)
