    	    <description><![CDATA[There will be cash prizes for Prem/High/Mid - probably top 3 of each tier but <strong> not confirmed </strong>

<i>Quoted from Popcorp</i>
		<blockquote>Just a comparison in the amount of team dropped starting with S15

S15 = 57 Dropped
S16 = 56 Dropped
S17 = 49 Dropped
S18 = 50 Dropped
S19 = 42 Dropped
S20 = 54 Dropped (Currently)

And we're about to start Week 5</blockquote>

I'm guessing you just counted those manually, here are some actual stats recorded by us for each season.

S15 - 57 Dropped (18.27%)
S16 - 58 Dropped (18.59%)
S17 - 49 Dropped (16.55%)
S18 - 51 Dropped (18.21%)
S19 - 58 Dropped (19.59%)

Considering we're talking about the system I don't see why Highlander can't be compared also.

HLS4 - 35 Dropped (18.23%)
HLS5 - 27 Dropped (17.76%)
HLS6 - 23 Dropped (19.17%)
HLS7 - 32 Dropped (25%).

Very similar overall to 6s stats right...oh wait is that a huge result for HLS7?! Must be the system! 25% of Season 20 would be nearly 80 teams.

Claiming that this System is increasing drops when A) It has not finished yet and B) Your Sample Size is 1, is ludicrous. 

About 4 pages in and I'm still yet to hear a legit reason as to why this would make more teams fold.

<i>Quoted from Sonny Black</i>
		<blockquote>[...]

Also we are usually replacing teams until at least week 2, resulting in sometimes 10-20 teams coming in late. This season since we were not bound to creating groups of 8, we included everyone who signed up. And only replaced like 3-4 teams later on when teams signed up after the deadline and others dropped.</blockquote>

Also this.]]></description>
